Pirating Windows is wrong, but the lesser evil compared to buying Windows. Ideally, you shouldn’t do either

You should ideally run your own node when using Monero

Allows you to scroll through / view a text file in the terminal.

Admirable dedication to the cause

Godspeed, keep the hacking spirit alive

Yup just need to pick it up from your local rescue shelter

I have never used any of these (except Uber once in 2016 maybe?) because of the exploitative model. Even though the situation here in Germany is a tad different with them. Fuck them. Regular companies are bad enough already

The issue is not only complexity, though it does play a role. You can also run into issues with pure text parsing, especially when whitespace is involved. The IP thing is a very classic example in my opinion, and while whitespace might not be an issue there (more common with filenames), the queries you find online in my opinion aren’t less complex.

Normal CLI output is often meant to be consumed by humans, so the data presentation requirements are different. Then you find out that an assumption you made isn’t true (e.g. due to LANG indicating a non-English language) and suddenly your matching rules don’t fit.

There are just a lot of pitfalls that can make things go subtly wrong, which is why parsing general CLI output that’s not intended to be parsed is often advised against. It doesn’t mean that it will go wrong.

Regarding Python, I think it has a place when you do what I’d call data set processing, while what I talk about is shell plumbing. They can both use JSON, but the tools are probably not the same.

It’s a cool shell, I like ita lot more since I found out you can use ? to mark a field optional

It’s true that compared to the other utilities, it’s rather new. First release was almost 13 years ago. awk, which I think is the closest comparison, on the other hand turns 50 in 2027… though new awk is only 40.

Thanks, I never used it and had forgotten about it until now.

From a quick glance, this is pacman with a yaml file instead of a shell script and PKGINFO (the latter was introduced for the same reason you’re doing it your way in the first place). The carcinization of package managers

That’s another win for the oat flakes, they don’t drive your blood sugar too high, but will keep it up for very long (no carb crash), plus they contain a load of micronutrients. Even their protein percentage is quite high - higher than chickpeas for example.

Long story short, I don’t understand why people here are mad that the US government will no longer subsidize unhealthy and overpriced garbage. I know this probably isn’t where it’s going to stop, but at least this particular instance makes sense I guess.

I’m not against did stamps being able to buy sweets. The issue I have is with a lot of breakfast cereals is that they too are in fact sweets, but people see them as a proper meal. They’re not. Occasional sweets are fine. Regularly eating a full meal consisting only of sweets is not.

I haven’t had sugar cereal in a decade. I don’t know how you could ever prefer them over oat flakes

I really like fish. It’s just so pragmatic, I don’t know how to describe it differently. No groundbreaking concepts (like nu or elvish), but the tools you need are right there and easily accessible with syntax that doesn’t make me scratch my head (bash).

Nah, they should rather build statues for people like the guy who shot the healthcare CEO, which Luigi did not do

NixOS as the first Linux distro is an interesting choice, definitely not bad, but probably not what most people would go for

Sorry if I sound dumb, but which kind of program would be the one to display the output of text based interfaces, also called terminal applications, if not a terminal?

Time to sell Tesla to xAI

I don’t buy from Starbucks because their coffee is bad.

We are not the same."
