Steam account names are immutable. I don't recall them ever offering to let you change the login name. Change the username? Sure. Change the email associated with the account? Yeah. But if you've got a near 20 year old steam accou

you shouldn't be putting complex arguments in a shebang. it's there to tell where the interpreter for the current file is. shebang can't even handle more than a single argument on its own. if you have `#!/bin/progra

I do appreciate your expounding on this, but I assure you I do get it. Using types to track these things is the appropriate solution. In most languages you would either create a wrapping object you can get the original back from or perhaps

Narrowing involves actual types. I was referring to the compiler not checking mere value validation. I was referencing the kind of validation where someone checks a bunch of attributes of a string, usually, or perhaps the range of an intege

There is a game called TIS-100 where you solve problems using a grid of networked processors that can each store one current register and a second value you can swap to. It's an extremely constrained environment as such. There is one c

Objects open up some advantages in how you snap together code that namespaces alone do not. Code is much easier to deal with when you define abstractions around small sets of functionality and then allow the caller to pass in various object

I discovered how it works by fighting with the compiler far longer than I will admit trying to force it to import the other files in the directory :)

golang is pretty good for this. you can stick a bunch of files together and just mark them as being in the same package and all their functions will get wadded together in the resultant package for other stuff to import.

if you don't care about doing things right and packing crap into a shared virtual environment and all that, you can just create a directory called "deps". fill it with symlinks to directories you want to import or import from

I would wonder if increasing the size of the image keeping the pixelation and then using a pixelation removal network might do better than this. Those, at least, are already trained to add detail where it isn't.
