The competition wasn’t between Linux and Windows, but rather Linux with some dedicated server OSes like Solaris, HP-UX and whatnot — mostly variants of Unix, but idk which ones exactly.

P.S. You get much more enjoyment from this thread if you imagine it in one of thick English accents.

Most albums by Mamaleek. They change up the sound on each record, and still stay unlike anyone else. Check out ‘Diner Coffee’ and ‘Vida Blue’.

Lovage is actually quite similar to instrumental hiphop/breaks that was released on Ninja Tune in the nineties. DJ Food, The Cinematic Orchestra, Wagon Christ, Coldcut, that kind of stuff.

Not to be mistaken with ‘The Beach Sounds’ by Pet Shop Boys.

‘Rockit’ was pretty much entirely made by the production team of Bill Laswell and Michael Beinhorn, from the band Material, with GrandMixer DXT and three other dudes doing the scratching. Hancock basically came in at the end to play some synth lines.

‘c’ and ‘t’ should definitely be hit with different fingers if you do touch-typing. But with one hand, that’s true.

I’m gonna bet yes for the simple reason that various helper scripts exist that do advanced cd history, with fuzzy search and whatnot, and they can’t be implemented as anything other than functions.

where in your pipe you got a non-null exit code

First thing you want is set -e and set -o pipefail. That should report the errors in human-parseable form.

Second, to capture exit codes from each command/program, you have to run each of them in sequence yourself, connected by pipes that you create via mkfifo — the same way as you would do it in any other programming environment. Bash’s | pipes are just a convenient shorthand for this, so if you want full control, you have to ditch the convenience.

In Emacs Lisp, you use one of these two:

(defun funcname (arg1 arg2) (+ arg1 arg2))

(lambda (arg1 arg2) (+ arg1 arg2))

— with the latter typically being an argument to another function or macro.

In Lisp, at least the Emacs Lisp with which I have experience, it’s customary to put in nil (Lisp’s null) for any omitted arguments in the middle that you can’t be arsed to specify — aside from just leaving off arguments at the end. In JS, typing in undefined in every such case would probably be an annoyance, so I’m guessing coders need to check for both undefined and null in these circumstances.

Overall, it’s remarkable how Lisp teaches one to be much more relaxed about programming practices than is typical for mainstream languages. Design patterns? Data structures? Shit, just pass in a list or an assoc array, and maybe a function here and there. Also everything is an expression, enjoy your ternary (if) at any point anywhere.

Remarkable how if the parenthesis is shifted from lambda() to (lambda), people lose the ability to comprehend things.

Functions are definitely not subshells in Bash, seeing as anything modifying the environment, like pyenv and such, is implemented as functions instead of scripts — specifically because functions are run in the same shell instance.

Unless ‘subshell’ means something in the vein of ‘like a new shell, but not really’.

I mean, the go-to approach in Lisp, for example, is to have null as the default value (which doubles for false in there). And check for that in the function.

Lisp programmers seeing these ‘amazing things’:

But yeah, every time I’m trying to do a ternary in Lua, I miss being able to just throw in an if. Thankfully it can be amended with Fennel.

‘There Will Be Blood’ depicts those early days quite graphically.

I’m pretty sure that good music helped me greatly through my rather questionable youth and made me an okay adult. It was pretty much a godsend, and without it, my life would already be quite shit. Likewise, since it’s a big part of my life now, taking it away would make the rest suck a lot.

‘Assetto Corsa’ the original one for me, I’ve just played it all year.

As it happens, China does have dual dating since 1912 (with some fluctuation), using the Gregorian calendar for most things except traditional holidays, which are celebrated according to the Chinese calendar.

The Gregorian calendar is generally one of the safer things to bet on, in this day. What could be that person’s thinking with the languages, however, that I don’t know.

TBF it’s kinda true for pistachios. The seed itself, excellent. But the thin brown skin that’s left in the shell? Outstanding. It seems to absorb all the salty flavor that’s bestowed upon the pistachios.
