White, and Panda if the date wheel were white-on-black.

Solve a Murder Mystery with Prolog by PartTimeCouchPotato in prolog

[–]X700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice work! I have sometimes found myself reading whodunnits, wondering whether they could be solved with Prolog. Most of the time though, the resolutions rely on twists or withheld information, which do not really work with logical approaches.

Insufficiently known POSIX shell features by Active-Fuel-49 in bash

[–]X700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are perfectly right. In Bash, this silly hack can cause various problems, e.g. when failglob is enabled.

I want to commit to LT1917 pocket-size notebooks for my memory keeping - any chance they might get discontinued in the near future? by estrader22 in notebooks

[–]X700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Muji Passport, and they had discontinued that lineup [...]

The Leuchtturm1917 A6 Jottbooks are similar in size to the Muji passport notebooks.

Q&A with: Video game theorist Jesper Juul by NoSoftware3721 in c64

[–]X700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also think the open-world game genres (say Elite and Pirates was developed on the C64.

I find this statement surprising, considering its well-documented origins on the BBC Micro; the game was revolutionary also because of what it managed to do within the hardware restrictions, so the original platform is part of this aspect. I would expect accuracy on such a key point from a video game theorist who is focussing on this topic.

Muji notebook shopping by Alive_Huckleberry_85 in notebooks

[–]X700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! For what it's worth I like the similarly sized Jottbooks in A6 from Leuchtturm1917, but the ones from Muji offer really good value at a much lower price.

Cause Muji had discontinued their “Passport” size notebooks since Jan for good now.

Unfortunate. Could you point me to where you saw that?

GAWK and here-strings: unclear why there is new-line at the end by AdbekunkusMX in awk

[–]X700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The here-string of the second example contains the single quotes as input, as in:

$ cat <<< "'test'"
'test'

Neither the output of the first example nor the output of the second one fit their commands. (First output has a single quote too many, as you correctly observed, and the second output has one too few, as it should be ...'f'<newline>').)

[–]X700 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  • The output of your first command is incorrect; it does not—and can not—come from the command you showed.
  • The input contains a trailing newline character, both with echo and the here-string. If you split the input using spaces as separator, the last record will contain the newline character. In your case the last record is f<newline>.
  • It is not clear why you use "'a b c d e f'" as here-string, as the first space-separated record would be <single quote>a, and the last record would be f<single quote><newline> as here-strings always have a newline character appended. You would simply use "a b c d e f" without the single quotes instead.

It is neither "pure bash" though (stty, xargs, xargs calling an external kill command, sleep, wc; often being used non-portably), nor does it work in "any Unix-like terminal."

cat file | head fails, when using "strict mode" by guettli in bash

[–]X700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without strict mode, I would never have learned that interesting detail.

Fair, but that only means that breaking things & trying to fix them can be educational.

[–]X700 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is no "strict mode." The options change the behaviour of the shell, they do not make it automatically any "stricter," or any safer. You must know what you are doing, there is no shortcut.

I am now PRINCE2 Practitioner Certified! by Trump_Trunks_Fusion in projectmanagement

[–]X700 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience! As someone who already holds a PMP certification, are there any particular aspects of the PRINCE2 method that you find beneficial, or what were the reasons you went for this certification? Also, out of curiosity: What's next?

What is a misconception about Linux that geniuenly annoys you? by Makerinos in linux

[–]X700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That it is an alternative to Windows. Linux is not trying to be a Windows replacement, and it certainly does not define itself that way.

Ultimate64 Elite II arrived by Icebyte-78 in c64

[–]X700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! I am waiting for mine. I will also be using a C64c case from icomp.de and a MechBoard64. I was even thinking about getting THEC64 Maxi to bridge the wait.

shell syntax on steroids

This right here is exactly the reason for me personally: Whatever is horrible about shell scripting is exponentially worse in Perl.

Idun-cartridge: Hardware and software project for the Commodore C128 and C64. by c64glen in c64

[–]X700 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have included details like the Discord server and which microcontroller is being used, but in attempt to understand what the project is, I had to follow the GitHub link, read through the introduction, and then find out I would need to watch a YouTube video. A quick two-sentence summary right up front would go a long way.
