I don’t see Ben Shapiro as an “opponent”. His weapons-grade bad takes aimed at nothing but to stoke the fires of a culture war simply are vile.

Doesn’t apply to the author here, so I don’t understand why you brought it up?
They accepted one that adds gender neutral pronouns in more than one place instead lol
That’s the last three words of the article. The author didn’t miss the connection either.
I always wonder when people repeat something from the article or ask a question that’s answered in the article: did you not read it or did you just want to start a discussion about this connection and are somehow constrained in the number of words you can write per day?
Testing superscript syntax: 10-9

I usually write “POSIXy shell” but I thought that was clear from context this time.
The problem is that exit statuses !=0 aren’t treated as error by default (with a way to turn that off for individual expressions). Instead you have to set multiple settings and avoid certain constructs in bash/ZSH/…
Everything that works like a modern programming language by default is fine of course
Yeah, and that’s just one of many many things to consider.
As a long time former ZSH user, I’ll definitely include ZSH in shell languages to avoid for scripting.
The problem is simply the number of rules and incantations to slavishly include everywhere to make your script bail on error. set -e
is not enough by far.
Python with plumbum or nushell are definitely better.
Oh you sweet summer child.
If you don’t use pipes or command substitutions, set -e
gets you a fair part of the way there.
If you’re interested, I can look up the rest of the arcane incantations necessary.
Shell scripts were a mistake. The weirdness you have to remember to safely stop executing when something fails is mind-boggling.
I’m so glad nushell exists and doesn’t need any configuring to just do the reasonable thing and stop executing when something fails.
Why?
OK Google set a reminder 10 years from now to remind that gal/guy of ralph
What was the problem? I can see that if you don’t get past one of the steps described in the wiki, then you’re blocked. But I think if one has some experience with shell, CLIs and TUIs, it should be possible to follow the steps until you have a bootable system.
Is it worth it to try that, maybe through multiple attempts? Idk.
Do you do that every two years?
Twitter (now “X”)
Yes, and tar works the same, it just doesn’t handle zip files.
And even if we’re pedantic: bsdtar is Arch Linux’ executable name for a port of the tar
command that is shipped by BSDs, so it’s also tar
.
What? Why would you permanently compress it?
