I'm pretty sure they used a Monoprice Mini Delta[1], which is one of the cheapest fully assembled 3D printers available (about $160), so it's not even that bad without a printer. [1]: https://www.mpminidelta.com

Definitely very terse, but I'd call this idiomatic awk.

I'd like to point out that in German, "der Hunden" doesn't exist.

There is a very useful readline option to help with this: set completion-prefix-display-length 2 in ~/.inputrc replaces any common prefix longer than two characters with an ellipsis.

There is https://explainshell.com - not Bash specific, though.

Mint does this for some banks and uses proper APIs for others (Wealthsimple, for example).

Amazon kind of audits and reviews products, or at least has an official program for sellers to solicit user reviews: it's called Amazon Vine [0]. For the reviewers (the "Vine Voices"), it looks like this: on a regular basis

That page doesn't show up in preview for me, but I'm guessing it's the diagram showing the origin of Go as a blend of Alef, Oberon and C. The authors also say that the package concept was inspired by Modula-2, the syntax for

I think the answer is "yes"; it seems to be covered in the configuration page: http://dvorka.github.io/hstr/CONFIGURATION.html#binding-hh-t... It says to use bind '"\C-r": "\C-ahh --

Perl more or less does that [1]: > Perl also guarantees that the ranges A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and any subranges of these match what an English-only speaker would expect them to match on any platform. [1]: https://perldoc.pl/perl

"xform" I've seen elsewhere, like in GNU tar's --xform option to transform filenames. It does accept --transform as well, though, and I agree that "xfrm" doesn't readily map to "transform" for me

To clarify: "Perl One-Liners Explained" is self-published, and "Perl One-Liners" is based on it and published by No Starch Press. Not sure why that makes "matters worse"? He also self-published "Awk One-Li

Two small, but neat changes I'll incorporate into my daily usage: "git blame" now has an option "--color-by-age" that paints lines by age of last change. There is also a small change to a Perl script that improves d

A very boring, but instructive way is to read manuals cover to cover - for example the GNU Coreutils one [0]. This way, you become aware of the existence of a lot of tools (such as comm, which is part of the coreutils), and while reading yo

This uses field 2 to the end of the line as the sort field; would k2,2 have been faster, as it limits to just the second field?

I'm much more familiar with sed than ed, so here's how I would to this: sed '/baz/{s/.*/&\n&/;s/baz/elephant/2}' input.txt or, slightly more readable sed '&

The sed command doesn't get the indentation right, though, as the article says it could be indented by two or four spaces.

These remind me of the ASCII fluid submission [0] at IOCCC 2012 [1] by Yusuke Endoh. The source [2] itself can be used as an input to the program (see video [3]), and he also made a colour version [4]. [0]: https://www.ioccc.org&

GN looks like a neat Go-specific HN clone, I'll start keeping an eye on it. Unfortunately, it seems that there are almost no comments: from the 24 topics I see on the front page, only two have comments. Do you feel the submissions are

I think it's a great introduction to Programming, but if you already know some other language, it tends to be verbose - but Stroustrup always tends to be verbose. I, for one, really like his style.

Aurelio is the madman/genius behind Arkanoid in sed[1], Sokoban in sed[2] and sedsed, a sed debugger[3]. I have no trouble believing that he has a few shell tricks up his sleeve. [1]: http://aurelio.net/projects/se

No, it's "just" converting selected tags from Stack Overflow Documentation ( https://stackoverflow.com/documentation - now shut down) into PDFs.

As somebody who contributed quite a bit to Bash Stack Overflow documentation, I have to say that I consider it a total train wreck. Before (or rather, instead of) touching this, I highly recommend reading something like the BashGuide ( ht
