Man, this takes me back to Microsoft enforcing IE, then losing a trial and having a mandated-for web browser catalog when first launching IE.

Google deserves this, if not potentially more, as they've become so huge.

No idea, but my bet is either they don't, or they do but could fill more important positions.

I like maps, but I like most of those things too. :)

While personally against the loss of the ban, this reminds me of when I once heard that, from a purely economic point of view with no regards for human life, tobacco and other unhealthy products are a net positive for the economy.

The reasoning is that people who smoke will die younger, usually after their "productive lifetime" has concluded (where they consume more than they produce), thus being a burden to the state less time.

This is the same way of thinking as people who throw trash into the streets, saying they're benefiting the local economy because it has to employ more sanitisation personnel. Which is stupid.

As far as I recall and for Linux, the shebang is interpreted by the kernel to execute the text file as the input of a given program. Are you talking about adding a shebang to a C source file? If so, this would not work, because the hash could be interpreted as a preprocessor instruction.

Take into consideration that, in bash, you can use ${0} to get the filename of the current script. If you want the count of lines in your script wc -l ${0} ought do the trick.

If you're using C, you could rely on the FILE define for your imolementation but the rest implies reading the source code and then acting on it.

From other comments, it seems that there's regional pricing in place. In Spain, it's around 20 euros.

Lemmy has a very 2000s forum feeling. Hopefully, smaller communities will continue to exists but we'll still get some well moderated, huge communities like in Reddit.
