Java (since version 9) has -version which prints to stderr and --version which prints to stdout (also with slightly different content). Same for -showversion and --show-version and to get back on topic -help -h and -? print to stderr while

I would prefer if Debian also had alphabetic release names. With Buster, Bullseye and Bookwork I just can't memorize the order and age of those versions.

Not very convinced yet. I would expect it to fail/not work quite quickly for cases which are "worth" debugging. For the first example I would just place the breakpoint on the return. The highlighting is quite nice but I see n

Annoying. Had recently trouble with a translation file (Java properties format). Traditionally it is all ASCII with \u1234 escape sequences. Well except for that recently added "single quote" which is actually some unnecessary (an

Another variant which I overlooked to often is if you have a construct which returns an error but does not exit the script later move it in a function and now it does exit the script. set -e [[ 0 == 1 ]] && true echo Status:

What I miss from jq and what is implemented but unreleased is platform independent line delimiters. jq on Windows produces \r\n terminated lines which can be annoying when used with Cygwin / MSYS2 / WSL. The '--binary' o

One thing that make Windows paths wired is that Windows API, NTFS and most Windows tools have different restrictions on file paths. NTFS would accept almost anything. The Windows API (I think of the old Win32 one) would apply most restricti

Are you sure we mean the same thing? You seem to talk about a specific command line argument of the compact command with a Windows typical (and IMO ugly) option style with '/' instead of '--' as option marker and &#

Any data stream which is not the first one. Data stream is basically the file content and on NTFS a file can have more than one. In practice it is comparable to extended attributes in the Linux world but somewhat superior. But like extended

It wrote a lot of incorrect tests at this point not only when non-Latin characters where involved. Look at the mixed case tests below. Always the same string but sometimes a palindrome and sometimes not. Same for the trailing whitespace tes

The less variant is good if you only want to follow for a short time or check for new output once since it can be enabled/disabled in less itself with 'F' and Ctrl+c and then you can again scroll and search in less. And regar
