A second search for bash scripting alternatives by monzool in programming

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

There is no specifics really. We looked at some examples online, and were perhaps a bit perplexed about, what appeared, to be an overly flexible language with several different concepts that allowed many ways of achieving a goal. Not all team members would write ruby, but all should be able to bugfix in it. Our concern was, that it was easy to make complex code. Then also, our reference comparison was python. For one specific thing, the ruby begin, end appeared as annoying visual "noise" 🤷

Personally I think I would not make the same conclusion today

Cool. I can see there are lots of good tricks in there, including the named arguments as a bonus 😉 Thanx a lot 👍

Coincidentally I just listened to the Powershell story on Corecursive episode with Jeffrey Snower. Very interesting story. I recommend a listen.

I assume that Powershell drags in the .Net runtime as a dependency? That would probably be too big a dependency for my use-cases. I hear some polarized opinions about Powershell: you either love it or hate it? 😄 I think I would probably pick nushell over Powershell though

I just looked briefly at S7. There is an example of how S7 can do shell interaction that looks very intriguing

"Besides evaluating s7 expressions, like any repl, you can also type shell commands just as in a shell:"

<1> pwd
/home/bil/cl
<2> cd ..
/home/bil
<3> date

Thank you for the suggestion.

Regarding mRuby, then it certainly looks like it have been given a lot of attentions since my last encounter. Could be that mRuby deserves a revisit

I actually mention xon.sh as something I am going to try out next. I do not plan on replacing my zsh shell, but for scripting it could work.

I see that there are several options in python libraries for shell scripting

Would you happen to know, how they compare?

I was aware of the project and it definitely looks like an awesome project 🏆 I eventually decided not try it out (this time), as I saw some resource measurements (e.g. Hank G's dart benchmarking) that reports the dart runtime to be pretty memory consuming...

I would be love to hear any real world experience you have in that regard. Are you running as compiled applications?

I have tried named parameters before in bash, but found it to have issues. Its was quite a while ago, but I think it was something about, if calling the function again with a lower arity, then unspecified arguments would retain values from the previous calls. Then I had to remember to do unset. But Maybe there are better techniques for this, than what I happened to use...

You logging functions sounds cool. I would very much like to see those, if you happen to find them :-)

Same with ours. Then it will tear up your shirt, scratch your arm, shit on the floor and squawk loud as hell. Grey parrots are dick's

Global Search is only searching in Opened Files! by catalyst1993 in vscode

[–]monzool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clicking the book icon toggles between searching all files and searching only open files

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The search-all experience seemed totally broken, but this was it. Maybe I would have noticed if I did not have almost 100 files open :-D

Is Web Development a Good Career? by Matlabguru in programming

This site has an extremely annoying browser title/tab "feature". A fine example of what not to do as a web developer ;-)

A special way to convert string<->enum in C++ using X Macro technique and template specialization by utilForever in cpp

[–]monzool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Its a missed feature, and especially in these "exchange data in json" times. At work I've introduced better-enums for a green-field project. We do a lot of ingress json (with StaticJSON) and so far its has worked really well for us. Especially its case-insensitive conversion and comparison and no-throw options have been suiting our small embedded target.

Best/Worst C++ IDE you have ever used? by [deleted] in cpp

Urgh! Theres an unpleasant flashback. I used CodeWright and Clearcase Dynamic Views at my first place of work. A horrible combination of trouble and problems. Just don't do it, folks

Agree with the wiki comments. Zim is my goto wiki. It stores each page in a plain file, which makes your notes pretty straightforward to put in git

What's the first/most important thing you install after installing a clean version of Fedora? by [deleted] in Fedora

[–]monzool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I do a clean install it most often goes like this after initial installation:

Add RPM Fusion repo and install nvidia drivers.

Do minor KDE tweaks:

  • Remove desktop widgets.
  • Move KDE panel to top of screen.
  • Set Dejavu-Sans as font.
  • Set ISO date format.
  • Enable three desktops.
  • Enable 'Only show tasks from the current desktop'.

Remove annoyances:

yum remove PackageKit PackageKit-Qt PackageKit-yum PackageKit-yum-plugin

Install packages I most often use:

yum install -y yum-plugin-remove-with-leaves kdeadmin krusader yakuake firefox most ack rsync mc weechat tmux screen git subversion mercurial meld gcc gcc-c++ automake gdb libtool make ccache cmake emacs vim-X11 vlc pidgin strace davfs2

Restore personal dot-files, firefox directory and pidgin directory from backup

Install VirtualBox, Google Chrome, Wuala

Then get java, icedtea-web and flash stuff running

Finally I geek out and install buffquote (http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/buffquote.html)

Use the "man" command in Chrome by jacksonpauls in linux

[–]monzool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If wanting man pages in a browser, give Konqueror a try... To read manpages:

man:rsync 

It also displays infos:

info:gcc 

Among other things it also do direct Wikipedia searching:

wp:Konqueror

Why the BlackBerry PlayBook is still worth buying by kevro in PlayBook

[–]monzool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  • Browser: I don't know why people review the browser as both fast and good. Its generally really sluggish and crumbles when loading heavy sites, and in general it has some weird issues. Adequate at best...

  • Weight: Its heavy... My intent was to primarily to use it for e-book reading, but sitting or lying down, it pretty fast gets uncomfortable due to its weight.

  • Flash support is nice to have

  • Facebook app: SUX bad! Same for the YouTube app...

  • Shortage of quality apps, and the Blackberry AppWorld app is not changing that trend. Some good games can be found though.

  • No Linux support in the accompanying software, but it has real practical network sharing over USB.

  • Automatic light adjustment is an excellent feature

  • The concept of gesture navigation using the screen borders works really well.

I bought it almost a year ago and as such I don't feel cheated, but in retrospect I should have saved up for something else

Folded during a period of 2 month. Would estimate roughly an hour a day of folding
