I was wondering if Shellcheck warned on this, and of course it does. God I love Shellcheck.
Not every shell script has to be that portable. And even then, "POSIX compatible" shells vary in their "POSIXness". Sometimes using arrays is the right thing to do, or having a reliable indicator of the source script…
The bash man page is my bible. It's dense and long but it always has the answers, you just gotta know where to look.
Shell scripts are a more evolved form of programming and nobody can change my mind on that. They require less work, they're easier to make, they're flexible, compatible, composable, portable, small, interpreted, and…
The big mental illness crisis of the 21st century is really the same one from the 20th: mass media consumerism. Social media is literally just mass media consumerism in a more efficient, evolved form. It's the car…
Something can be both hype and useful. Paradigm shift, no, because there's no fundamental architectural difference from any other replicated sql database. Sqlite only really works as a throwaway database. For that it's…
If we didn't have the web, all networking above OSI L4 on all operating systems would have been encrypted by default. A simple set of syscalls and kernel features could have enabled it. But since the web was there, and…
Obviously it happens on planet earth and the visitors are hackers who live on planet earth. I don't think they care particularly if it's ironic, I think they just don't like the name and are looking for something to…
Alt title: "the air fryer is not an oil fryer and that makes me mad"
I think people should stop using PyPI altogether. It's full of abandoned garbage and malware because there's really no filter on who can upload what. I don't even use it to search for packages anymore. If Linux distro…
A public hearing isn't going to change anything. Look at...well, literally any powerful organization or individual brought before Congress for excoriation. The pound of flesh they want is press and votes, and you don't…
Is there anything applicants can do to better provide what you're looking for? Obviously giving more complete answers, but anything else that would help you find the right person? And the other way round, is there…
It's unfortunate that the development of the web has had an adversarial nature. There's been a war between those individuals who prize privacy, and organizations that want functionality. The law requires certain things.…
Might as well ask the hungry to start their own farm
For the past year it's been a hirer's market. Applied to 30 positions I'm perhaps overqualified for, all form letter rejected. Recruiters ask me for a call, I reply back and say what's a good time, ghosted; we actually…
> A lot of leadership stuff is universal, but then a lot of it is also dependent on what's needed for the job, and a person's skills and leadership patterns may not be exactly what's needed for the job. Leadership is…
Assuming you mean the connections between the components - a hodge-podge of different models, tools, techniques. There is no one way to do it, partly because of how different any given system can be from another. Even…
