In case I can save anyone a click, there isn’t a single sentence of that article worth reading. The author simply fails to understand that BMI is a helpful indicator for population metrics, and contorts into crazy positions to fill out a “t

Jonathan Haidt is not a random guy. I don't think you're being fair to the article or to this forum.

Exact same thing happened with rats in Hanoi under French rule.

I guess I see fewer under-concerned parents than I do over-concerned parents. Of course there are both.

Children are not clay to be molded, and they are not computer systems to be planned and carried out. They are individuals. And there are no clear solutions to mental health, substance abuse, or suicide--but there are clear non-solutions lik

So much of the "research" is not research at all. It's no surprise to see anti-vaccine sentiment run strong among Grace Manning-Devlin types.

It's possible you're coming from a very different background than me... I can understand your point of view if your context is being raised under real impoverished conditions; I agree a parent should do anything they can to meet a

I've recently move to using a git repo has my store for notes, and different clients for access and editing. On Desktop I use Obsidian (although most anything will do) and on mobile I use GitJournal which easily links into an existing

Forgot to say it in the other comment but regardless of whether we proceed with this, thank you for offering to help. It means a lot to get a positive response from people, especially to the extent that individuals will contribute to the pr

I agree, if it were entirely Perl it would have essentially no dependencies. Right now the audience is limited to those with a currently functioning Python3 environment or willing to configure one. My only concerns are: I do not know what t

I wish I could disagree, but your point is true. Hopefully soon the python 2 vs 3 disease will be mostly cured, but right now anyone not currently using python3 is unlikely to use bsed given that the value is convenience and simplicity--a v

Good to know this, thank you.

The interpretation is only translating into standard Perl one-liners, and by default the execution writes to stdout instead of modifying the file. I haven't written code to actually do the text transformations. My normal workflow is to

Perl is actually executing the text transformations. The python is a translation layer between the bsed syntax and the Perl command, so you get the performance of Perl with a very minor time cost for interpretation done in Python.

Fair point. I mostly put those commands together to illustrate concepts. Two things you've touched on though that I haven't implemented yet: compound conditionals, and a nice way to indicated word boundaries (as opposed to the reg

Can you elaborate? The tool doesn't require you to learn/know perl, that's just what operates under the hood. I actually chose to exclude any reference to Perl in the title, though it appears a moderator changed it.

by bihla 8y ago
The python code only carries out translation into Perl. The actual execution of the text transformation is Perl, which is generally the fastest of the available tools.

by bihla 8y ago
I agree. For anything longer term, I'd recommend finding the right bsed command and then using -t flag to get the Perl translation. Perl is installed by default on common operating systems.

by bihla 8y ago
In my experience, Perl outperforms sed on most equivalent commands. I should do some benchmarking and add it to the documentation.

I'd love to hear any questions or feedback. I've gotten quite a bit of use from this tool personally and have had a lot of fun making it.
