Maybe someone should create, like, a system where updated versions can be automatically downloaded and installed…
Can this system also reboot at will?
Only when you're shooting aliens.
I had to reboot yesterday because Windows was using like 75% of my physical memory for things that were unaccounted for in Task Manager and it was swapping constantly.
Did you try stopping your VMs? Task Manager can't account for those for some reason explained elsewhere...
I checked VirtualBox and all of the VMs had been turned off all day. That was my idea as well, and after that guess was wrong I just gave in and rebooted.

these Intel Compute Sticks have super-shitty WiFi...
In other news, sitting this compute stick next to the router so it can cache stuff for a bit. Luckily digital signage shouldn't need to be updated all that too often...

Okay, so that's the initial challenge they give you.
I do the right thing (possibly):
And...
So... you're not going to inject that function into the boilerplate? How am I supposed to write the actual program then? Does it take input from stdin? Should it write to stdout? Does the
Main
get autofilled but must be declared? Huh?Instructions:
x Simple, given a string of words, return the length of the shortest word(s). String will never be empty and you do not need to account for different data types.
Code:
function findShort(s){ return s.split(" ").map(a=>a.length).sort()[0]; }
Results:
Passed: 3 Failed: 42
Test:
function findShort(s){ return s.split(" ").map(a=>a.length).sort(); } console.log(findShort("ProofOfStake Dogecoin Classic MadeSafeCoin Classic ProofOfStake"));
Result:
[12, 12, 12, 7, 7, 8]
The default sort order is according to string Unicode code points.
Fuck JavaScript.
Why would someone define a default sorting function where "less" doesn't mean the same thing as the
<
operator? It's some kind of crazy+""<""+
operator, which is only slightly less obscene than the perl goatse operator.

@JazzyJosh I think you can clip through the Carnival Night Zone barrels by transforming into Super Sonic on top of them. And because you can easily get all the emeralds in Marble Garden Zone you can actually beat Carnival Night Zone without knowing how barrels work.
-
@aliceif well, nevermind that. You can actually not encounter a single mandatory barrel if you take the right route, which I just did.
-
@aliceif I didn't know you could avoid them all but I also didn't realise people got stuck at the barrel either.
-
@loopback0 Well, I was wrong. damn it. I forgot that there's still a power on area after the power off part and the barrel there seems mandatory.
And I guess it was Hyper Sonic and not Super Sonic who can outsmart barrels. Whoops.
-
@aliceif Nope, Super Sonic can do it after all. Looks like my execution was off, though:

And fuck Javascript. It appears to be learning all the habits of PHP except without the good bits (that could be fit on a single postage stamp, to be fair).

Status: I've debugged my module, and I can load it manually, but now I want it to load automatically at boot.
How do I do that?
Put the name of your module in/etc/modules.conf
.
Great, that sounds easy!
Fuck you, I don't have a/etc/modules.conf
. It's/etc/modules
.
OK, that seems to work. Now how do I pass parameters to my module?
Put the parameters after the name of your module in/etc/modules
.
Great, that sounds easy!
Fuck you, I'm gonna go ahead and not load your module. Silently.
Really?
Oh wait, the accepted answer had a comment that was hidden from you: You actually need to put the parameters in a new file in/etc/modprobe.d
.
I hate all of you.

@NedFodder For OSS people, documentation is something written by other people.

Welp. I guess it's time to call it a day.

I dunno - it kind of makes sense. Go up by 20 for a while, then start accelerating. At 100, it starts feeling more expensive, so there's no need to continue linearly.
