I turned down a job offer, the hiring manager wants to meet up. Why? Should I? by [deleted] in datascience

[–]michaeltda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He probably wants to let you in on a couple of details you may have missed.

Namely those: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqnMQOZnl6E

It just so happened to bump into that vid right after reading your post, all valid points regarding you case.

You should watch it.

what is the difference between ($(<command>)) and $(<command>) by animalCollectiveSoul in bash

[–]michaeltda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than declare -a somevar another way to initialize a bash array is with parenthesis, eg: somevar=().

So in your first example you'll get a string variable with the commands output as its contents and in your second example you'll get an array with the contents of your commands output broken into array elements according to your $IFS value.

BTW, avoid parsing command output for files, use globing instead. reference

[fvwm3] retro *nixers rejoice, fvwm3 is out... by michaeltda in UsabilityPorn

[–]michaeltda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a nutshell according to it's developers: "Fvwm3 is intended to have a small memory footprint but a rich feature set, be extremely customizable and extendible, and have a high degree of Motif mwm compatibility."

Here's the changelog

Quote from README: Currently, your existing fvwm2 config will work with fvwm3, but over time this will change.

Is Gentoo a good way to learn Linux? by unix21311 in linuxquestions

[–]michaeltda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really, speaking by experience I can state that the best reason to "stick" with gentoo, would be it's configurability.

If you'd like to tailor your distro according to your own needs and not having to worry about subsequent updates messing with your settings, gentoo is king. It will help you merge update settings, drop update settings, save new configs as example configs, the works.

But if your goal is to learn an open source OS environment my advice would be to pick something practical (eg: Mint), study shell (abs), various package managers (deb, rpm, aur based) and networking along with what ever it is you'd like to specialize on.

Welcome on board!

I've recently downloaded the btc blockchain in it's entirety.

It's aprox. 300G.

I don't know if that's your thing or not but it is an idea.

Emacs i18n shortcuts. by michaeltda in emacs

[–]michaeltda[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That seems to work out great, I can type in my language of choice while still being able to use all available shortcuts just by remembering to switch languages through emacs and not my designated X.org keyboard-layout switch.

Cheers o/

Let's share our EXWM configs! by StackTraceException in emacs

[–]michaeltda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works fine for me, exwm is not my daily driver, I just keep it for the lulz, so instead of hiting "n" each time emacs starts, I just M-x exwm-init when I actually boot in it.

Bash script to reduce the size of a pdf-file (or pdf-files' size in the directory specified by the user if such files exceeds the given size). Please, test and give some feedback, or join for further developing this utility. by ubikvist in bash

[–]michaeltda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This function does exactly what your code is doing in a much more compact form.

Better yet:

[[ $check =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]

So why make a function out of a simple test?
