But in my example it only found out at runtime too.

I had a hard time getting your examples into a state that worked. Even after that, I don't see how what you are doing improves over a switch. It actually looks less readable to me, with no gain in functionality at all. https:/&#x

Correct. If the utility on Linux is not the exact same as Windows (or doesn't even exist, the horror!), then modifying your behavior or expectations is insane and is considered "ricing" and a complete waste of your time.

What about trying Gnucash, or any of the plain text accounting apps?

Part of Plain Text Accounting family: https://plaintextaccounting.org/ I really prefer having complete control of my financial data this way, and reports can be as custom as you'd like. Better than something like Mint

This is an interesting idea. I've wondered myself about doing something similar for interview processes in an attempt to remove bias. Assigning every candidate a random number, address them by the number on all correspondence. Remove n

Because prohibition worked out so well in the past. And the war on drugs is a supreme success.

I think the biggest benefit of Linux is the likelihood of most of the software you are using to have some kind of terminal/shell/text-based interface which allows for automation of tasks if you are so inclined. Pipes are fantastic

Why do you even notice, or keep track? Is there a way to disable visibility of stars? Vanity, stop it.

Sure it did. You got more gas per dollar in your car last year than the year before/after.

Yes, and for people like that, Apple has you covered with iCloud.

I'm sure you'll get customers, but I just don't understand people that go for things like this. So I'm afraid of Apple scanning, and uploading unencrypted files I create on a closed-source (unable to verify anything) OS

bit rot is your second paragraph. zfs has ways to handle bit rot in hard drives as an example. Not sure there's a word defining what you mean. Sounds like something related to library related terms perhaps (reference links breaking) or

Nice, after looking at all the other bash attempts I learned about ncal today. ncal 09 2021 | grep "^Th" | awk -F' ' '{print NF-1; exit}'

I think the fed, and the market, are basically under the belief that inflation isn't going to sustain at above 2% for long. I mean, look at it from their side. They've been doing everything they can think of to hit 2% for a decade

Wow, 14 years ago. I hope the current progressive correct-thinkers realize the takes they make today have to hold up over a decade from now, otherwise the next wave is going to cancel them.

So it seems the overriding tide right now is for workplaces to be more woke-aware? Increase tensions by discussing more politically hot topics at work. At least that's what I'm getting from the Silicon Valley type folks I follow o
