>the or later part alone makes that risky. You are entirely free to pick a GPL version and don't add the "or later" clause. Many projects, including the linux kernel, do.

The idea is, if something hardcodes e.g. /bin/grep because it was written on a system where that's where grep is, it will suddenly start working because now grep is also accessible via /bin/grep. So it's compat

Raw package count doesn't really compare, considering that Debian splits up packages a lot. For example they have a lot of "-dbg", "-devel" and "-doc" packages that other distros might just choose to leave

GNU grep doesn't take a value for `-E`, so it interprets this as `grep -i -E -t`, which explains the error. It doesn't have a `-t` option. I don't know of any grep that does take a value for `-E`. It does support taking a v

It's possible , yes - by adding yet more easy-to-get-wrong boilerplate. My point isn't that it's impossible. My point is that it's hard and annoying.

This article seems to have been started from the position of "I want `set -euo pipefail`" and the points are just geared towards it. And those options have big issues! `-e` ("errexit") can just kill a script for no obv

Okay, now do grouped short options - `yourscript -vo /path/to/file`. Note that getopt(3) (what CLI tools written in e.g. C would use) allows this - `grep -qf /path/to/file` works the same as `grep --quiet --fil

Pipewire was started by Wim Taymans, one of the gstreamer people. Originally it was supposed to allow video-streams in sandboxed environments like flatpak (and was known as "pulsevideo"), but then he noticed that it could be exten

PHP is still full of awkward decisions. One that baffles me is that 8.0 changed it so all scripts default to a "C" (i.e. english, ascii-only) locale. [0] So this is now a scripting language that requires you to call `setlocale`

If you add the table name you could, and that's what "x." here is. So yes, you can autocomplete SELECT employee.Na<TAB> to "employee.Name", but it requires you to type the table name "employee." firs

That proposal unfortunately requires you to name the foreign key constraint, which is quite unergonomic. E.g. instead of the wrong `FROM a NATURAL JOIN b` you would use the correct `FROM a JOIN FOREIGN a.foo_fkey`, which not only needs that

Yes, you can work around some inadequacies of SQL by bolting more features on top. That doesn't mean that the basic design of SQL isn't awkward.
