I agree, Greg's Wiki has a lot of amazing content. Certainly there will be a bit of overlap, but the focus of the book is a bit different: - It is more relevant for scripting than the interactive command line. For example, it include

I remember reading (sorry, can't remember the source) that it's been proven mathematically that there's no way to write code which will run the same on any Turing-equivalent processor. Obviously that's not saying much si

Thank you for the feedback! It's not a beginner's guide; it really is intended for people with at least a reasonable understanding of programming concepts such as scope and the difference between imperative and other types of prog

It was originally a book, however the publisher reformatted it to a book just before release, possibly because of the length.

You're right, I should probably have used `patch` instead.

Certainly there's a lot of stuff in common. I read every single article on Greg's Wiki a couple years before starting this book, and it's informed a lot of my opinions and understanding of the fundamentals of Bash. I do disag

If a package transfer does need to occur, then the only method to do so should be the owner doing it. The registry itself shouldn't have the ability. This might be fighting fire with napalm. Namesquatting is very much a thing,

This one hopefully has a bit of an original twist by being focused on maintainability and understanding some of why Bash is different from most programming languages, and by being aimed at software developers mainly working in other languag

Let me compare the ones I might've disagreed with as a newbie (out of college, maybe a few tens of hours total programming) and what I think of them now, after 17 years as a programmer. - "Browsing the source is almost always fa

Ticketing (really, work tracking) needs to be adapted to each organisation. This is of course not a complete list, but some patterns I've seen: - In a three-developer startup a ticketing system might very well be just needless busywork

Not stable enough for production. Every time I've tried to use them (3-5 times since they got started) they've lost emails and calendar events in inexplicable ways, possibly by not taking a careful enough approach when dealing wit

Although there's some good stuff in here (some of which may be considered "obvious" these days), the tone is so typical of computer security: "Everybody else is dumber than me! No, seriously! I'll just enumerate a b

Python type annotations have a fairly steep learning curve. First it's all `name: str` and suddenly it's all Unions and Optionals and TypedDicts. These are some exercises to get from the basics to the advanced stuff, with some bac

So much advice in software development presupposes that everyone has the same single goal and at least one inexhaustible resource. In this case, time: - To read and understand all relevant parts of the build pipelines for each performance

I googled for `php mysql email register`. This returns tutorials, how-tos, code snippets. Most results include flawed DB statements. Nothing to do with Google itself, Google being vulnerable to SQL injection, or completely arbitrary

Could've been funny if the interviewee was someone like Descartes rather than one of the most lucid, funny and friendly voices of the 20th century.

Any large enough pile-on, whether real or orchestrated, pulls in real people with nothing better to do than being outraged at things they have little to no insight into. The bots are just there until the attention is self-sustaining.

The advantage of having it in a commit message vs a comment is that there's no chance of the comment just hanging around once it inevitably becomes irrelevant. Once it's irrelevant it's anti-productive to leave it in. Since t

Arch Linux is amazing. The biggest surprise for me was that it's more stable than so-called stable distros, probably because the various packages don't end up drifting several months from each other when keeping up to date. Hope

It seems almost inevitable that Windows will eventually become a Linux distro. Microsoft could replace incredibly resilient cruft like NTFS with EXT4 or ZFS and the registry with human readable configuration files. On the other hand, they c

A little discipline will go a long way here: - If the annotation is thought to be necessary because of a bug in the tool, add a link to the bug next to the disable comment. This makes it easy to get rid of the comment when being alerted tha

Good question! From a template repo commit at work[1]: Advantages: - Separates development and production dependencies. - The dependency version is specified separately from the lock file. In practice this means that the version in pyprojec
