No, they work in zsh, with one extremely small change: The referenced variable needs to exist. Try this (tested with zsh 5.9 on archlinux): foo='PWD[$(echo hahaha >&2)0]+42' [[ "$foo" -eq 5 ]] In bash

Fish has always used utf-32 codepoints stored in wchar_t, from the first git commit in 2005. Unfortunately it's pervasive throughout the entire codebase (which does a lot of string shuffling). So it's a historical mistake, but not

>Matrix's moderation should be at least as good as Gitter Well, yes and no. The moderation features might be the same, but: 1. It's a lot easier to make matrix accounts, especially if you run your own server. 2. The user interf

The idea behind this series of posts is to see how much of python , concretely, is syntactic sugar and how much is necessary. How much could you do with e.g. doing macro transformation on top of a minimal core? The last post before this wa

Arch already has the nvidia drivers in the normal repos. You can just install them. This isn't something Manjaro adds.

Depends on your echo. Zsh's interpretes escape sequences by default unless the "BSD_ECHO" option is used, bash's doesn't unless "xpg_echo" is on. And xpg_echo is on by default for bash on macOS, so for use

One issue is that make will default to only using one job (i.e. one cpu), and you need to pass `-j NUMBER` to make it use more, while Ninja is parallel by default. For my uses, I've not found `ninja` to be much faster than `make -j8` o

Bash also turns off the bracketed paste, because it can't know if the command it is about to launch supports it. So that command would have to re-enable it itself. Something like emacs or vim might do so (or another bash, you can nest

"\r", "carriage return", is what the return/enter key sends (either that or "\n", it's configurable). So what's being sent from the terminal to bash here is "ls" (which is echoed back)

The original performance claim was about https://vimuser.org/cat.c.txt . Which just does read/write - so it's the same as the "cat-simple" example, which is the slowest listed. GNU cat [0] does copy_file_

First of all: Your code is missing braces around the `if` blocks - the `goto out` would be run unconditionally. But anyway, the case for `goto` here is that it jumps immediately to the cleanup that needs to happen always. If you put somethi

These files are already in toml , so it's only "unnecessary" if you ask for them to switch the file format. Otherwise, adding tools to the standard library to read file formats required by the ecosystem is a good idea, regar

The first two lines are setup, real code would already have done that. You could maybe count the import, but you'd have to do that once and could do multiple bisections, so it's amortized. Setting the variable doesn't count

CentOS 7 may have been released in 2014, but the software it shipped was already quite old then. As a datapoint, CentOS Stream 9 [0], which was released in 2021, and which RHEL 9 (released in May 2022) is based on, is already ~60% out of da

Fish also enables bracketed paste and does smart escaping when you paste inside single-quotes. (I'm a fish developer)

Well, yeah, if you source the file (for which `.` is a shortcut) it runs in the current shell so the environment is intact. If you just run it it won't work. So instead of running `boop` you would always have to `source boop` or `. b

For python code, yeah, most of it. Python does sometimes have backwards-incompatible changes, e.g. for 3.10 they removed a bunch of stdlib modules and methods, like the "formatter" and "parser" module [0]. So if you us
