as a kid i didn’t think Bartimaeus and Harry Potter had much to do with each other but as an adult i recognize that “actually, the magic of British exceptionalism is a farce upheld by colonialism and slavery” is definitely responding to Something

i don’t love depending on G·N·U Make but there simply isn’t another option for what i’m trying to do

i have multiple times done something like $(and $(VAR), -e $(VAR)) when actually what you need is $(and $(VAR),$(space)-e $(VAR))

for the record, G·N·U Make strips white·space from each argument to $(and …) and $(or …) before expanding, not just the first one, which is confusing and definitely not documented

@jamey or

("date +%s" | getline); print ($0 - mean) / 86400

worked for me if you want to keep it in awk 😂

(macOS uses a fork of "The One True AWK”, not GNU awk, by default so the question isn’t purely hypothetical)

@jamey `systime()` isn’t POSIX but i imagine that’s doable to replace? awk probably is the easiest solution here huh

my girlfriend is up and about Doing Things and i am not here for it
