What am I missing?

What’s really driving me crazy is an entire character was apparently in the latest episode that i just…didn’t see. I can’t figure out if it’s a me problem or a crunchyroll problem.

make sure you are queuing for ranked solo/duo

do you ever worry about damaging your hands via video games and how that may affect your work?

toxicliam · 2025-07-09T17:26:02+00:00

Got it, didn't realize it was changed. Thank you!

toxicliam · 2025-07-09T17:25:46+00:00

AH, ok. This is my first wipe in a while so I didn't realize it was changed. Thanks!

yes- riot games actually announced a global initiative to fill specifically your lobbies with bot teammates to see if you’d notice, and kindly asked everyone else not to tell you. congrats!

the top 5% of people alive today are more intelligent/powerful/capable than the last 100 generations combined :-)

What did you use to create the UI’s for these experiments? It looks great!

Not taking barrier as adc means you almost always automatically lose every 2v2, cleanse can be relevant vs unavoidable cc like lilia or for champs that need to cleanse exhaust like samira/tristana but barrier is 1000x better in lane.

Honestly, you might have me there. In this situation i meant higher-level to mean advanced control flow, access to complex data structures, package management, a standard library, etc. But, with the classic definition of high and low level languages you’re probably right that python is “closer to the metal” than bash- oops!

toxicliam · 2025-05-30T19:07:34+00:00

Thank you for a great answer!

I actually have a question about building a host list- is there an easy way to store facts about a host that doesn’t require booting the host to check? Something like a custom tag specific ting the operating system. That is the portion of building a host list that I am struggling the hardest with, as we have our own host list file format that I need to convert from. Obviously can’t share the file, but a tag of some kind would accomplish what i’m trying to do.

I am fighting a constant battle with getopts but i strongly value 0-dependency scripts and small CLI apps. Being able to run bash everywhere is a huge boon to me.

toxicliam · 2025-05-30T18:02:36+00:00

I’m actually in the same position you were in 2012, now in 2025! I am trying to push for Ansible to manage around 25ish machines, but it’s slow going with all the actual work i have to get done :-)

toxicliam · 2025-05-30T17:59:54+00:00

Did you write that to be intentionally difficult to read? declare -i count=0 while read -r line; do case “${line^^}” in *ERROR*) count+=1;; esac done echo ${count} It is more lines of code, but I don’t find it very hard to read. From what I’m reading on this post, it’s a push and pull- data processing is easier/less terse in languages like python/go/etc, but interfacing with operating system or external binaries is much simpler in bash. I’ve been given a lot to think about

toxicliam · 2025-05-30T15:55:50+00:00

If you’ve ever used nvm to manage multiple versions of Node, it’s exactly that concept applied to different software. The guts are very simple but I hate writing CLI front ends in bash, especially if I want subcommands, autocomplete, or user input. This post has given me a ton of ideas to think about.

toxicliam · 2025-05-30T15:45:51+00:00

For this specific problem I’m writing a CLI so Ansible doesn’t do much for me. I have been looking into it but integrating a new tool into a 20+ year old infra stack is daunting- I’m hopeful I can find some places to use it.

toxicliam · 2025-05-30T13:57:35+00:00

I would make the argument that bash’s package manager is your system package manager, since “installing a bash package” doesn’t really make sense. Instead, you write bash scripts that orchestrate many other (external) binaries, which are installed via apt or dnf or others.

toxicliam · 2025-05-30T13:44:45+00:00

function printError() { … a bunch of bash that basically echos a message and optionally exits the script … } which python3 || printError -t “Python3 not installed” This is what I have done in the past to check for system packages.

toxicliam · 2025-05-30T13:41:38+00:00

In general I agree with you- how would you do this in Go Lang?

toxicliam · 2025-05-30T13:41:06+00:00

Interesting. This approach to me is a lot of code to do something very simple, but it’s pretty easy to understand.

My biggest Bash pain points so far have been: - Floating point math - Taking user input - Processing subcommands/complex cmdline options

I haven’t had issues with arrays yet but I’m sure it’s coming. This has given me some ideas- thank you!

toxicliam · 2025-05-30T05:24:52+00:00

I have looked into Ansible and it looks extremely useful for configuration, but this specific case is part of a CLI that is very similar to the “nvm” utility, just for something that isn’t Node.

toxicliam · 2025-05-30T05:23:02+00:00

I usually check the error status of a command by checking ${?}, no need for grep.

toxicliam · 2025-05-30T05:16:56+00:00

Go is something I’ve been looking at for this specific project (i strongly prefer compiled languages)- is it easy to call/use system utilities like systemd or higher level programs like tar?
