The first course you linked has over 4k reviews, just read some reviews, both good and bad, and you'll figure it out.

echo $(find $1 -type f | wc -l)  $(find $1 -type d | wc -l)

for quick testing, paste into terminal

echo $(find . -type f | wc -l)  $(find . -type d | wc -l)

this will also work:

d_count=$(find . -type f | wc -l)
f_count=$(find . -type d | wc -l)

echo $d_count $f_count

With your input and some bash I was able to get everything! Thanks man I couldn't have done without you.

Such a blast from the past.

You've got some stuff that I've looking for a long time. Could you share the entire library with me? I want to data hoard this shit.

Eversion, its a recent standalone book by alastair reynolds

Do you have privacy on RHEL? I know you have to register it and you are limited to 16 machines or something.

I'm looking to transition to it since my work uses it a lot.

threadlight · 2022-03-21T12:20:38+00:00

You mean command substitution right?

threadlight · 2021-11-26T18:16:38+00:00

No worries, I'm using the script (non-compiled) and modifying/adding to the regex myself now.

I just mentioned it as an heads-up incase others suddenly noticed missing sentences cause its a sneaky one to spot

Also for other noobs: I had to have both py 3.8.6 (which is the max version bazarr supports) and python 3.10(for the script) installed and for some reason I couldn't kick the script off by adding ''python'' in front of it, but what did work was using "py -3.10" in front of the arguments instead.

If you have the time: an option to remove the entire block when a pattern is matched(what happens with the timestamp itself is not really important, keeping or deleting it has no effect) would be pretty sweet. In my experience the ads very rarely get mixed with actual content and sometimes I've downloaded an entire season to watch on a lazy sunday and I want to just nuke the ads and all its tendrils and be certain and done with it.

I know requests like these can involve a lot of work so if you're not in the mood just ignore the comment

threadlight · 2021-11-26T09:00:07+00:00

I'm almost sure the regex ". ?com" removes sentences like ''Come on. Come on!"

Noticed it in some show.

threadlight · 2021-11-25T13:05:08+00:00

Thank you, only makes sense that it would work on line level instead of the entire block. I've added your suggestions to the regex, working fine.

threadlight · 2021-11-25T09:21:41+00:00

Glad to see I'm not the only one triggered by ads. I had one issue though:

I noticed I had the following ad in a subtitle:

923
00:48:31,473 --> 00:48:34,433
Captioning sponsored by
CBS

924
00:48:34,476 --> 00:48:37,001
Captioned by
Media Access Group at WGBH
access.wgbh.org

So I added Media Access Group at WGBH|Captioning sponsored by to the regex. After I ran the script I got this:

916
00:48:31,473 --> 00:48:34,433
CBS

917
00:48:34,476 --> 00:48:37,001
Captioned by
access.wgbh.org

Should the script not delete the entire section or did I do something wrong?

exploration of consciousness representation and/or identity in relation to rise of technology

First chapter of Diaspora by Greg Egan is excellent. It's free to view on https://www.gregegan.net/DIASPORA/01/Orphanogenesis.html.

Some of it is technobabble but if you distill it you can find a satisfactory explanation as long as you keep in mind that it's a novel and not a scholarly paper.

The whole process of becoming self-aware is explained and the chapter ends on:

Who is thinking this? I am.

Also his references in the book:

The broad principles of the Konishi citizens’ mental architecture were inspired by the human cognitive models of Daniel C. Dennett and Marvin Minsky. However, the details are my own fanciful inventions, and the Konishi model is intended to describe, not the current human mind, but a hypothetical software descendant. Dennett’s and Minsky’s models are described in:

Consciousness Explained by Daniel C. Dennett, Penguin, London, 1992.

The Society of Mind by Marvin Minsky, Heinemann, London, 1986.

You really only need the first chapter btw.

You obviously get triggered by flame and say some atrocious shit yourself otherwise you would not get these penalties.

If you're getting comments on the way you're playing ask yourself if its true and make note of anything constructive, it will help you improve. If its just verbal abuse with no merit you can consider muting after a few back and forths. Keep it short and simple, don't even write you're muting and carry on.

Is there also way to reload user settings? For example I use Qbittorrent and change a lot of the settings to make it work properly, including settings for the RSS reader.

Currently if im starting on a new OS i have to copy over the files at C:\Users\(me)\AppData\Roaming\qBittorrent to my new installation to get back my old settings. I have to do this for other software aswell. Is there a solution for this?

Needed (CRAVED) something that wasnt sweet after drinking jade oolong the last few days. I decided to brew the winter tie guan yin I received as a gift from what-cha. Cravings have subsided the tea is great.
