On the other hand, there are plenty of humans who like just about any dog more than they like other humans.

It's about Trump, dude. Not Trump as politician, but Trump as model for what a "successful" white dude looks like: a sleazebag who cheats on his wives, cheats at business, commits crime on top of crime, uses violence and threats to get his way, etc.

Young white boys need better role-models than Trump and Musk to look up to.

(It's also a parody of the racist shit people used to say about Black Americans and "bad role-models" like gangsta rappers.)

Also, "amendment" is spelled like that.

"Hallelujah" is a song about sex — but it's not dirty sex, it's holy sex.

It has been obvious for many years that the Trump movement aims at the downfall of America, through the promotion and exaggeration of America's flaws and the increasingly violent suppression of its virtues.

But if someone creates a file called HEAD, should it overwrite a file called head?

That shouldn't matter to the "nontechnical" end-user at all. To the nontechnical user, even the abstraction of "creating a file" has largely gone away. You create a document, and changes you make to it are automatically persisted to storage, either local or cloud.

Only the technical command-line user cares about whether /usr/bin/HEAD and /usr/bin/head are the same path. And only in a specific circumstance — such as the early days of Mac OS X, where the Macintosh and Unix cultures collided — could the bug that I described emerge.

I recall a case-insensitivity bug from the early days of Mac OS X.

There are three command-line utilities that are distributed as part of the Perl HTTP library: GET, HEAD, and POST. These are for performing the HTTP operations of those names from the command line.

But there's also a POSIX-standard utility for extracting the first few lines of a text file. It's called head.

I think you see where I'm going with this. HEAD and head are the same name in a case-insensitive filesystem such as the classic Mac filesystem. They are different names on a Unix-style filesystem.

Installing /usr/bin/HEAD from libwww-perl onto a Mac with the classic filesystem overwrote /usr/bin/head and broke various things.

I recommend picking up Graham Hutton's short text Programming in Haskell, Second Edition. Even if you don't end up using Haskell in "real work" (and you might!) it will teach you a remarkable number of things about how functional programming works.

England has a surfeit of terms for obnoxious people.

  • Jobsworth (obstructive clerk or bureaucrat)
  • God-botherer (religious fanatic)
  • Cockwomble
  • Minging cockwomble
  • Tremulous bollock-for-lobsters cockwomble
  • Sir Æthelbert Plonker Cockwomble of the Drubbing-over-Head Cockwombles

I may have made those last two up.
