I'm genuinely curious, why? If you're writing generic scripts designed to run across multiple platforms then fine, but in the context of Google (or most other companies) they'll have a standard set of tooling available on all their machines, which presumably includes Bash if they're making that statement.

What about POSIX shell makes it superior for scripting?

I dunno. I see a lot of people who take sole credit for their actions and outcomes and don't give a thought to the fact that they didn't choose their parents, place of birth, genetic makeup, talents and temperaments or simply the role of luck.
This is a plugin for rofi which abuses rofi a little bit in order to do live calculations. This is a tool that I've needed a lot in the past. Usually when I conversions like these I spin up WolframAlpha or such but it's so slow as compared to hitting Super+C and just typing in what I want.

Since this uses the qalc tool from libqalculate you can even type in things that are kind of natural language (just like in WolframAlpha). For instance, try `250 + 30%` or `5000 EUR to BTC`.

Hopefully somebody finds this useful.
I don't think much, to be honest. In fact I think the excitement of the 90's and the advent of the internet acted as sort of a fountain of youth for people that didn't want to go the corporate route. I have been an independent consultant for 20 years and have never had to buy into the corporate life because of the freedom the internet gave me coupled with my desire to learn and understand it and share that with people. Now it just feels like everyone is selling something. There used to be a genuine sense of community far and wide but now it just feels like everyone is out for themselves. Blogs are written in a very methodical way to get that sweet SEO juice. Everyone is "witty" and sarcastic, everything is cute and silly to the point that none of it is cute and silly and so contrived that it just feels gross.

I seriously sit here some days and think, "does mark zuckerberg have no real self awareness?" I mean, this guy is the poster boy for everything that is wrong with the internet today. I guess when the inevitable shift from the open internet to the corporate internet happened, this is the result. Facebook is a multinational advertising platform, why can't they just admit that? What is wrong with this guy? But the real problem is that Facebook and Google make BILLIONS of dollars doing this.

I read an answer to a question on quora awhile back in which someone asked "what's it like to be a millionaire?". The best answer was something along the lines of many people ask this question but what they really want to know is "what is it like to spend a million dollars". I feel like this type of thinking is what is wrong with the internet today. No one wants to start a real business, they just want to start a business to get VC funding. No one wants to figure out how to really write, they want to figure out how to write a blog to make $10,000 a month from affiliate marketing bullshit. Every bit of "friendly" advice I see, I think, "ok, what's the catch here, what are they selling". And you know what? the people that just come out and say, "hey, this is me, this is what i'm selling" are the people that I will gladly give my money to.

Sorry for the rant, probably doesn't make a lot of sense but none of this does anymore.

The interplay between content and presentation is a symbiotic relationship where either side can drag down the whole. I loved the content of the Frisby egghead course, but have to admit that I had trouble finishing it because the presentation became tiresome for me. I also felt like I couldn't listen to it within earshot (or view) of anyone for fear of looking like a child watching cartoons.

There's no point in attacking the course based on this aspect of its presentation. If it were super polished but made a bunch of mistakes, that's when you need to shout loudly to anyone you care about "don't watch that course! It's full of mistakes!"
But very different things are being measured--comparing them this way is very flawed.

You need to fix your mentality. HCL not being a complete language is a feature. Bash is a liability. If you honestly think you can build more reliable modern systems in bash, you deserve to be laughed right back into the 70s where you belong.
Same here. Dropping non-bash support just for [[ ... ]] over [ ... ] seems a little odd.
Can't you do this right now by specifying exact dependency versions in package.json? Lock files should be for applications, not libraries.
You're getting voted down (likely for only saying the article is wrong but not why), but I'm curious your reasoning. I've tended to write in POSIX sh (for maximum compatibility - and because it was just the way I learned) - but am happy to use bash too when the project allows and it makes sense so not sure I get the hard line stance. Wondering what I might be missing to evoke such a response.
I have been there, porting ksh scripts to Java.

As much as I might like Java, this surely did not make any sense, but when people want to pay you for doing it, oh well.
I think there's a degree of unspoken contract that comes with buying through a single ecosystem like this. You're buying into an ecosystem that isn't supported by other hardware providers because it works well. By failing to upgrade the hardware on a regular basis—something that, specifically, can be said about the Mac Pro, and to a lesser degree about the Mac Mini—the company is failing to follow up on its end of the deal in supporting that ecosystem.

It's egregious in Apple's case because the company is not struggling and the user base of macOS is still large enough that there's no reason for it to ignore that user base. The business model works, and it's not outdated; it's just not as attractive as the iPhone business model.

The issue is less about them adhering to the terms of purchase and more about them failing to give its users a path forward. People have spent thousands of dollars on software that only works on macOS, and to change their operating system because the technology isn't keeping up creates a real conundrum in professional environments. IT departments spend real money on these products and a lack of an upgrade path is a big problem.

There are apps I use on macOS that have deep integrations with iCloud—which means Apple makes money off of my use of that third-party app. I can't switch from that tool very easily, which means that I'm tied down to their ecosystem. In an age where computing goes beyond the product you buy, ecosystem neglect is a real problem.

You're not buying the current MacBook Pro. You're also, hopefully, putting a downpayment on the next one. And that's where Apple is falling short.

I don't think they mind the ads. They've always had them, and when the internet took their generation mainstream it already had an ad problem like TV.

In my experience, people of this age don't seem to get into streaming TV because it's just such a jarring experience from what they're used to. They'd much rather flip through the channels on a guide, or leave the TV on and watch the news, compared to going to Netflix for A, Amazon Prime for B, and some proprietary streaming app for C. Even if it means less ads.

Then a lot of people don’t understand the limits of what they’re doing.

For instance piping though commands works fine until one character sequence is interpreted as EOF. The fun part is it will work most of the time, and when it fails nobody will understand why (“we didn’t touch anything”), and rewriting the thing will be a political nightmare (“it was working before and was only 3 lines, why you need so much time to redo it ?”)

I think most people (me included) don’t do enough shell programming to really know the trade-off of the one-liner vs doing it in groovy, so the latter becomes the safer option (rightly so IMO)

Ethics to AI is more like 1s and 0s.
I absolutely hate coding in bash or looking at bash or suddenly being in Windows and being up a tree because bash isn't supported well (it is now if you install WSL). I only use bash to set environment variables and maybe string together 2 or 3 build commands. If I need so much as an if statement, I'm going to switch to a real programming language.
Maybe one day there will be another cool and dominating shell. That shell is more likely to be POSIX compliant than bash compliant.

Google also makes it difficult to compile Chromium on platforms where /usr/bin/python is python 3, because their shebangs are:

#!/usr/bin/env python

Rather than the more portable:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

Notably this causes problems for people on Arch Linux, and in the near future, Fedora. This post is presented as a style guide that others should adopt. Google may have bash ubiquiotously available internally, but their approach should not be taken as a model for others. Google's approach has caused real problems for their software's portability in exchange for dubious value-adds.

>What about POSIX shell makes it superior for scripting?

To address this specifically, I have written a blog article on the subject:

https://drewdevault.com/2018/02/05/Introduction-to-POSIX-she...

The main points are:

- bash is far from as ubiquitous as some people seem to think it is

- sh is formally standardized and has multiple competing implementations, whereas bash is defined by its implementation and there is only one

- sh is perfectly competent and easy to target, bash's value add is questionable

- By the time you need the things bash offers you might as well not use a shell script at all

You don't know true terror.

I've seen an "ETL" solution (minus the "T") written entirely in SQL but using XML instead of tables and columns. After traveling through multiple servers via OpenQuery it eventually gets loaded into a domain-specific piece. That piece passes the data into a frontend that can only run in quirks mode.

That frontend has 60-80 separate projects that all parse out basically the same data but from different fields and with different parsing/mapping logic. There is no ability to load shared libraries or otherwise de-duplicate code and no authorization to call out to any internal web services that could be written to handle it. Nor is there any form of templating available, it's all static files with no nesting of folders allowed. And the whole thing is managed in a domain-specific editor that effectively precludes the use of version control thanks to the way it stores files.

Two people are responsible for managing that frontend piece and more.
I don't feel as strongly about it as Sir_Cmpwn does but I agree with him. The logic goes something like: you should only use shell scripts for small scripts and not complex applications. Ergo the added functionality of bash scripts should not be necessary anyway and might actually lead you to believe that it's a proper programming language.

Or to put it the other way around: if you find yourself writing a POSIX shell script and find that you'd like to use more advanced features then one of two things can happen:

- You need portability to SunOS 4, so you suck it up and keep hacking your script because bash is not an option anyway;

- You don't need portability, so then why not use a proper programming language like python, perl or ruby rather than upgrading from crappy sh to slightly-less-crappy bash?

> If you find you need to use arrays for anything more than assignment of ${PIPESTATUS}, you should use Python.

This is exactly why I wrote my last script in Python. I started googling for how to do some simple stuff with arrays in Bash and after 10 minutes decided "I'll write it in Python".

I disagree. I want things to move forward as soon as possible. I've been waiting so long for a dependency management solution and for GOPATH deprecation!

Russ came with his "greenfield" proposal because he was not convinced that dep could become the long term solution to dependency management in Go.

Sam and the whole dep team have been working on package management for more than a year now. If they see important issues with vgo, I think they should be able to explain them succinctly in a post, at least to convince other gophers to hold on.

With the important exception that there are no blocks. If you're doing transactions one at a time, it's just a long ledger with checksums. Which are just a timesaving techinque so you don't have to replay log segments and compare with snapshots.

In practice, many of these organizations talking about using in-house blockchains have legal trust relationships and systems of laws in common, and they won't only be relying on a transaction log to make sure the record isn't getting fiddled.

And often the threat model isn't related to changing the historical ledger anyhow; there is a lot of fraud, embezzlement, and other financial crime that attacks other points in the system. That requires a significant system of financial controls, which will be sufficient to catch ledger tampering as well. Meaning that the checksums become a modest nice-to-have, not a significant anti-fraud technique.

It's a good question(without the flare) There seems to be lots of work on the AI part. Is the safe part access to everyone? AI seems like a tool that could have good and bad uses. adding a G doesn't by itself make it safer. So, what things should we be doing to make it safer.

giving guns to terrorists doesn't make us safer. I suspect that giving AGI to terrorists wouldn't make us safer either.

Spinoza was to the medieval Europe what Socrates had been to the Ancient Greece. Their ideas came to free human mindset from the enslavement the religious. Those ideas were a threat to the establishment of their days that were using gods to prey on the masses. No wonder Socrates has to be sentenced to death. Spinoza found refuge in the then tolerant Netherlands.

Reason number 650 why I love Ruby: it offers ridiculously gradual transitions from shell scripts. One time I built up a pretty weighty conditional-heavy script in Bash and didn't want to keep adding to it. So I simply made all the bash calls use backticks. Took me all of a few minutes to get option parsing working again.

One day I'll learn the Ruby way of doing shell one-liners and that'll hopefully keep me out of man pages for that sort of thing forever.

Yes, but "npm install" will by default add a semver-compat package version. The vast majority of packages out there use what "npm install" gives you be default.

Furthermore, even if I use exact versions in my package.json, that doesn't stop my referenced packages from internally referencing semver-compat versions.
