Have you ever wanted to run your build system of choice inside a sandbox that forbids looking up the absolute path of the current working directory (so `realpath`, `pwd`, and such all fail)? No?

Well now you can. https://github.com/ComputerDruid/anticanonicalize

GitHub - ComputerDruid/anticanonicalize: anticanonicalize is a tool which runs a command with the current working directory set to an "unreachable" version of the directory.

@mcc something that kinda blew my mind, is one of the latest viral things was a Japanese speaker noticed that Mandarin and Japanese have similar ish nouns, and English and Japanese have similarish grammar and adverbs.

So by using Kanji nouns and English sentence structure and adverbs, Mandarin and Japanese speakers can kinda communicate with each other.

While it's not functional in every sentence, I fully admit I can't tell if the poster were speaking in J or M when they tried this.

Lol MOMA has this cricket art up with the description:

“In this vibrant painting of a cricket match, who is winning and who is losing? The players are going hard, but they all wear the same uniform. The contrasting patterns and fields of color in the background suggest the presence of spectators, but the lack of rivals overturns the usual energy on the field, instead highlighting solidarity over competition.”

And this is such a profound misunderstanding of cricket haha, you can tell which team they’re on by their positions, test cricket (without its distinguishing uniforms) is the fiercest competition in cricket.
