It sounds like you had a lot of bad behavior, but are not a bad person. Time will tell. Keep choosing to do good.

set -x configures the running process, your shell. This is a posix standard flag. See https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html

there has to be a hook somewhere for every command that executes

Why do think this? I’m not aware of any shells that have such a feature. I’m not saying it couldn’t be done, but it would be a new feature.

I like the other suggestion of having a wrapper script that does what you need.

It is quite odd to duplicate the name of a reputable budgeting software. Looking at the commit history though, most of this was written over 2 years ago, so not AI unless the commit dates are forged.

The myth that glass is a very thick liquid. It’s actually much weirder than that. https://gizmodo.com/the-glass-is-a-liquid-myth-has-finally-been-destroyed-496190894

Legend of the Mystical Ninja has a Gradius style video game inside of it that was so good that when I quit playing it I had completely forgot I was inside another video game.

Mario Party 5 has a side game (not a mini game) called Card Party that is good enough to be its own mobile game.

Gee, I never would have guessed that would be a result of Israel’s actions in Gaza.

I thought so too until I read this https://www.boristhebrave.com/2021/05/23/triangle-grids/ which touched on my biggest gripe with hexagons:

When working with hexes, you quickly realize their edges are a huge pain. They don’t line in a straight line! That makes it impossible to subdivide the grid with a line. You cannot build a big hex out of lots of little ones.

Triangles solve that. Squares also do not have that problem. Triangles work better on the surface of a globe than squares though.

No fucking shit. Income disparity does that to people.

macOS may not be FreeBSD, but it definitely is a BSD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Unix#/media/File:Unix_history-simple.svg

Thankfully I live in the USA where we’re totally safe because we reject science! But don’t you try coming here for safety, we hate everybody else. You’ll probably just be sent to gitmo.

I saw this one in my late teens, and it was good, but it was way better as an adult.

That is awesome!

Not powerful, but often useful, column -t aligns columns in all lines. EG

$ echo {a,bb,ccc}{5,10,9999,888} | xargs -n3
a5 a10 a9999
a888 bb5 bb10
bb9999 bb888 ccc5
ccc10 ccc9999 ccc888
$ echo {a,bb,ccc}{5,10,9999,888} | xargs -n3 | column -t
a5      a10      a9999
a888    bb5      bb10
bb9999  bb888    ccc5
ccc10   ccc9999  ccc888

Don’t run killall on aix before reading the man page!

Great call out! I first used ftp about 30 years ago, and lftp has been my go to for about the last decade. I rarely need it anymore, but I still use it for quickly transferring files with my homebrew switch.

I love jq, but I wouldn’t call it “surprising simple” for anything but pretty-formatting json. It has a fairly steep learning curve for doing anything with all but the simplest operations on the simplest data structures.

Also, you can make yes return anything:

yes no
