This just concatenates the lists, in Tcl (or CL's loop), you can iterate on multiple lists in parallel. Like Python's zip, but cleaner since you don't need said zip.

Just a notice that all Blu-Rays of the 95 GITS are completely and hopelessly mangled (cropped, blurred and black crushed). The only "good" version is an old HDTV rip that was hand-remastered by Judgment; but with heavy smoothing i

At this point, I'd just use Tcl: foreach x [glob *.jpg] { exec gm convert $x [regsub {\.jpg$} $x {}].png } (bonus, you can use `foreach x [glob *.jpg] y [glob *.png]` to iterate on more than one list at once) The truth is:

Because empathy being applied to other species is an evolutionary bug, not a feature. Bug probably triggered by the luxurious abundance and the accompanying decadence acting on brains a bit too disconnected from the reality of the animal ki

His very close-miked sound still containing a tasteful (i.e. light) amount of reverb is such a recognizable signature... A true legend, and big coincidence since I discovered yet another of his production a week ago: Zeni Geva's last t

As much as I dislike cryptocurrency, you're being unfair here. Some people of that crowd have privacy as central principle, Tor is then more than clearly related.

Probably the natural consequence of shebang limitations and the "chicken and egg problem" of env(1) that isn't always in /usr/bin. If only we could write #!sh to do a PATH lookup... Thanks for finding the exact POSI

Scripts using #!/bin/sh instead of #!/usr/bin/env (ba)sh won't use your shiny new shell. Including scripts deep inside the build system of misc. software that you won't modify. The only way is to set their

I said /bin/sh, not /bin/bash.

What's even more comical is that they also ship dash, as shown in my example! But the reason why is obvious: people using a /bin/sh shebang with bash features. So I understand, but patching bash to fix the --posix mode should

You imply that lack of confidence is the most common issue one has to fix. What if you're introverted, intellectual and not part of the bread & circus tribe (which should be the case for some people on HN)? What does "get out&

Attacking the authority of people who start their article with an appeal to said authority isn't really far-fetched.

Only reason I used it was to force MSVC to understand my u8"" literals. Should've forced /utf8 in our build system, in retrospective. For UTF-16/32, knowing the endianness doesn't seem to be a frivolous functio

The big problem is that gcc/clang don't seem to have a concept of optimization notices, like SBCL does. Nobody is more appropriate than the compiler to warn you that it couldn't optimize something costly and why.
