That can’t remove a directory.
More believable for a Linux OS

Perfectly safe on Windows, too. The remove() function doesn’t work on directories.

I’m curious. Does anyone like PowerShell, and the syntax you end up with?
Matriks404@lemmy.world 8 months ago
And Windows nowadays have like dozen of different security measures that stop you from removing critical system components. It is not like in Windows 95 days, that OS allowed you to remove kernel by just typing a single command.

And much like Windows, everything dangerous is done better elsewhere.

isn’t
randint
range inclusive? thusrandom.randint(0, 6) == 1
has a 1 in 7 chance, not 1 in 6. Most revolvers, assuming this is emulating russian roulette, have 6 cylinders, not 7.nifty@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You’re right. I didn’t make this, but maybe the creator was accounting for the round in the chamber? I don’t guns, so no clue.
random9@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Revolvers don’t have the concept of one-in-the-chamber, only semi-auto pistols do, and you can’t play russian roulette with semi-autos :P (well you could, but 99% of the time, barring unexpected jams, the first person to go would lose)
Anyway I’m guessing it’s a bug :) - as the saying goes “no code is too short to be bug-free”

Oh hell, you gave me a PTSD flashback!
It’s the late 90s. My mother suddenly discovers File Explorer on her refurbished commodity Wintel box and decides that all this messy clutter has to go. Never mind that the drive was 80% empty when delivered and I didn’t expect her to come close to filling it before it was replaced. Fortunately I had already backed up everything that looked important or interesting.
One day she calls from the office, “I don’t need this ‘Windows’ any more, do I?”
“What? Wait! Don’t do anything!” I walk in and she’s got C:/Windows highlighted and the cursor is hovering over “Delete”.
“I already have Windows installed on this computer, so I don’t need this any more, do I?” Spoken more as a statement than a question. It took several minutes of forced calm explanation to get her to accept that this “Windows” directory WAS the Windows that’s installed on the machine. She still wasn’t happy that she could see it in File Explorer, though. So untidy!

You call that russian roulette? This is real russian roulette. Dying is a 1/6 probability.

I always use i because I’m too lazy to type out iterator when I’m making my garbage spaghetti code that will support infrastructure for years
