that's the point of embedding it in the binary, but you could also do stenography on top of that. decompilation will reveal it either way.

how to make an urban legend in your game, in the internet age
make a rare event that happens in hidden area, like 1% of the time, but every month the game is out, the chance of it happening drops by 0.1%.
the event also doesn't happen if it detects any common streaming software, like OBS.
also, all the assets for the event would be embedded into the binary, so dataminers would have to decompile it to confirm its existence.
oh, and in a switch port, it would disable video snapshots while the event is active

it's fucked up that "quote that links to the page it's from" isn't a standard part of html. it was literally part of the original idea that inspired html. back in 1980. and we still don't have it.

most trivial line-based formats line csv are actually decently self-syncronizing, so if the file corrupts, you'll only usually lose a few rows. most binary formats make heavy use of lengths and offsets, making them much more brittle.
usually this doesn't come up much.. unless it's something you only go looking for once things have gone wrong, like logfiles.

frequency can be used to measure things that really feel like they should use different units.
"how often should my OS check the state of the keyboard"
"middle C"
this is technically a coherent answer

the fun part about adding all the pokemon to your spellcheck dictionary is sometimes firefox will just recommend that you replace a typo with Gliscor

i wish nix had a way to unpatch executibles to make them use system libraries again.
it would be nice to be able to leverage the reproducibility of nix to create an idiomatic deb package.
essentially this would create a program that would compile anywhere, but not run anywhere.

not dubbing music is really common practice though?
BNA doesn't dub it's opening, for example.

getting kinda fed up with nixos
namely, it kinda sucks if you want to do any sort of normal development on it (say, you're trying to work on a C++ project that isn't built around nix)
see, that package might desperately need the fixupHook to be run in order to work on nix
but you only get that if you're doing a full nix-build
which is gonna completely bypass the caching of build artifacts that a makefile would usually give you
and so your build takes forever

y'know, if you're a selfish straight man, shouldn't you encourage other men to be as gay as possible so you can have all the girls to yourself?
