I used to have a couple of bottles of coke and ginger biscuits for the first few days. My theory is that you need energy/stimulant and hydration. The coke is basically sugar and caffeine and liquid. The longer it is in your stomach the

Well, on unix systems unlinking a file and creating a new one is not the same as modifying the file. If a process has the old file open it will keep that open and remain running with the old file. The new file is a different file. Is bash c

Bear in mind that bash is obviously restarting from the character position specifically but other shells might not handle this at all, meaning that they just use buffered stdin. For such a small script the whole thing has been read into the
