@vaporeon_ does that include if you were to eat just plain old nuts by the pawful?

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ the classic computer toucher pitfall: working so hard on the code to make the blog and then burning out when it comes time to write posts

re: computer touching 

@wallhackio the sepurrator fur sed’s s command can be any character, so long as it is consistent throughout the length of the command

sed s@/dir@/otherdir@ requires no escaped furward slashes

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio i think it might be pawsible to nest backticks with backslash escaping, but at that point, maybe just use the new syntax instead

i might be wrong about not being able to purrevent backticks from splitting btw, besides the universal copout of unsetting IFS

so apparently there was an animated mario movie from japan in the 80s, a fact i learned from this affectionate semi-gag dub that earnestly tries to create the feeling of a dub that would have been created at the time. it’s a comfy watch; i enjoyed it

@aschmitz inadvertently

Line 3:
echo "hi `shellcheck` lovers"
^-- SC2006 (style): Use $(...) notation instead of legacy backticks `...`.

Did you mean: (apply this, apply all SC2006)
echo "hi $(shellcheck) lovers"

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio i’m very much the type of cat to write code like it’s getting checked by a fairly strict linter at nearly all times

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio (he did know this at some point though actually; it’s at least been mentioned to him on the fediverse befur. he just furgor)

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio i made a point of not teaching him backtick because you can’t quote it to purrevent splitting

fur me purrogramming time is purrobably a 1:1 ratio of writing code to just staring at it over and over again because it just feels so good to write something that works

backtick in double quotes doing sneaky command substitution is a very funny shell scripting bug. very feasible to make that error unless you are really judicious about avoiding double quotes where pawsible
