C has undefined behavior for that.

I’m divided between saying it’s really great or that it should be a book and the man page should be something else.

Good thing man has search, bad thing a lot of people don’t know about that.

The “active” status.

Any project with it set is active, any project with it not set isn’t. And you set them all to active when you create the toggle.

If the users complain, you make them tell you an specific rule that can you can use to auto-change a subset of the projects in a cron job. Expecting anything like this to have a complete objective definition is delusional.

Nah, it’s in the past.

But people, if you are writing a command that detects a terminal to decide to color its output or not, please add some overriding parameters to it.

only 1 of them has been more complex than “I want to alias this single command”

I have some literal shell aliases that took me hours to debug…

I really recommend that if you haven’t, that you look at the Bash’s man page.

It’s just amazing.

Somewhere among the top 1…

Use whatever you like.

But don’t complain “Linux requires constant work” after it breaks in a couple of years, instead, be free to complain “Ubuntu requires constant work”.

Also, beware that it may be spying on you.

Well, is some mix of alternative futures that may or may not pan-out on reality.

I think there’s a very large correlation between people that decide to use electron and people that write unusable, broken, tortoise-speed software.

Because it really doesn’t need to be slow for user-interacting software. In fact, I don’t think any platform exists that is so bloated that it can make modern computers slow for user-interaction.

Well, some languages are higher level than others. Pure microcode expanded binary is actually a rarity.

Enough to make a RAID 6. As few as possible.

The fact that he claims it’s in C++ 29, while we are in 2024 is a good hint.

Or maybe he is a time traveler. Quick, go ask the next lottery numbers!

Yeah… But it’s usually a good practice to put a struct somewhere between your 30 levels of ownership.

Exceptions exist, but they are not very common. Also, in C++, operators overloading may help you if you keep needing to write code like this.

Your DE may be the one not relaying the sigterm, or it may be losing the PID because of the double launching.

Does the LSB have something to call on termination? Or you may want to call an executable there instead of a script.

It’s not broken. You just have to get a cron that supports it. Debian has at least one that does, but it’s not the default one.

Though, not every cron supports that.

Also, if you are packaging software, you have to do it the right way. But if not, it’s often easier to go and install an init script.

They are valid unicode points that your font doesn’t know about.

… or at least they represent that, but I think there’s a character that looks like one too.

intermediary language between regex and actual programming

It’s called Haskell.

Validate your backups, do not let them validate you!
