Taking courses which involve subjects that you will likely never encounter in the workforce is a thing in every discipline. Most engineers don't need to manually solve differential equations in their day jobs, they just need to know that they exist and will often require numerical solutions.

I see that you want it to be a function so you can get the chdir as a side effect, but mixing that with updating doesn't make sense to me.

When in doubt, ~/.zshrc
. It's the right choice 99% of the time. Otherwise, there's a chance you fuck up scripts you've installed which assume no shell options have been changed in non-interactive contexts.

What kind of functions do you write which you share between your scripts? Generally if I'm wanting to reuse a non-trivial function, I extend the functionality of the first script instead.

Select the color which matches the steps before filenames ((non-)login and (non-)interactive), then follow that arrow the rest of the way. There's more colors in Bash because Bash makes a distinction between remote and local shells.
Another way to look at the same data for Zsh (note: $ZDOTDIR
will be used instead of $HOME
if it's defined at any step along the way):
File | neither | interactive | login | both |
---|---|---|---|---|
/etc/zshenv |
x | x | x | x |
${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshenv |
x | x | x | x |
${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zprofile |
x | x | ||
${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshrc |
x | x | ||
${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zlogin |
x | x | ||
${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zlogout |
x | x |
One confusion on the Bash side of the diagram is that you see branching paths into ~/.profile
, ~/.bash_profile
and ~/.bash_login
. Bash will use for ~/.bash_profile
, ~/.bash_login
, and ~/.profile
, in that order, and execute only the first one that exists and is readable.

Optional crash reporting was merged. Most of the backlash in the PR is about the significant dependencies (Google's BreakPad) which were pulled in with it.
However, by default Audacity isn't built with it, you need to specify a CMake with the URL to send data to. No distros that I know of enable reporting.

IMO the NUL-delimited options are by far the biggest win for shell scripting. $' '

was always an option before. You don't really have an alternative read -d ''

Others have mentioned disk usage and desktop integration. There is some truth to them, but shared runtimes keeps disk uasge down (although worse than native apps). Desktop launchers now search /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications
by default, but I'm still having issues with themes in one or two niche apps.
Trust is the big one. The benefit of your distro's packages is that they are maintained by a limited number of maintainers. Flatpaks have a much, much larger number of maintainers, which is where sandboxing comes in. Flathub now marks apps with lax permissions as "potentially unsafe", which is a huge step in communicating this to the average user.
Most desktop apps can get away with having next to no access, as long as they support the appropriate XDG desktop portals.
Ultimately, your mileage will vary, as there are many classes of application which are ill-suited to being sandboxed. Program launchers, programming languages, IDEs, file managers are a few.

I grew up with Fahrenheit, but switched my weather app to use Celsius for a while, and I've internalized it pretty well. It works fine. The "human experience" angle doesn't work anyway because that experience is very locale-dependent.
This release of fish includes a number of improvements over fish 3.6.4, detailed below. Although work continues on the porting of fish internals to the Rust programming language, that work is not included in this release. fish 3.7.0 and any future releases in the 3.7 series remain C++ programs. ## Notable improvements and fixes - Improvements to the history pager, including: - The history pager will now also attempt subsequence matches (#9476), so you can find a command line like `git log 3.6.1..Integration_3.7.0` by searching for gitInt. - Opening the history pager will now fill the search field with a search string if you’re already in a search (#10005). This makes it nicer to search something with `↑` and then later decide to switch to the full pager. - Closing the history pager with enter will now copy the search text to the commandline if there was no match, so you can continue editing the command you tried to find right away (#9934). - Performance improvements for command completions and globbing, where supported by the operating system, especially on slow filesystems such as NFS (#9891, #9931, #10032, #10052). - fish can now be configured to wait a specified amount of time for a multi-key sequence to be completed, instead of waiting indefinitely. For example, this makes binding `kj` to switching modes in vi mode possible. - The timeout can be set via the new `fish_sequence_key_delay_ms` variable (#7401), and may be set by default in future versions.

I'm sure some of you have absolute monstrosities of sigils (I know I do, in my .zshrc alone). Post them without context, and try and guess what other users's lines are. If you want to provide context or guess, use the markdown editor to spoiler-tag your guesses and explanations!
This came out of playing around with `curl` and the Lemmy API. I wanted a repeatable way to declare a bunch of shell parameters from a json object, so I wrote a `jq` module! Take a look at the README for examples, or once you install, run ```shell source <( curl 'https://programming.dev/api/v3/community?id=267' | jq -r 'import "shell" as shell; .community_view | shell::param' ) ``` Currently this project only provides a `param` function, and only supports Bash and Zsh. If I think of other useful helper functions, I may add them to the project. This uses `_` as a default prefix for each parameter. This is so things like `{"PATH": "..."}` generate `typeset _PATH='...'` and don't mangle your $PATH, for example. The prefix can be customized by passing in a string: `param("mypfx")`. Before declaring a `1.0`, I'm planning on expanding shell support, and have the function determine how to output using the the `$SHELL` parameter: ```fish # This does not work (yet!) eval (curl $URL | jq -r ' import "shell" as shell; "fish" as $SHELL | .community_view | param ') ``` Always up for feedback!

A huge part of programming in general is learning how to troubleshoot something, not just having someone else fix it for you. One of the basic ways to do that is by [tracing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracing_(software)). Not only can this help you figure out what your script is doing and how it's doing it, but in the event that you need help from another person, posting the output can be beneficial to the person attempting to help. (If your shell isn't listed and you know how to enable tracing, comment below and I'll add it to the table!) Shell | How to enable tracing ---|--- Bash | `set -x` or `set -o xtrace` Fish | `set fish_trace on` sh | `set -x` Zsh | `set -x` or `setopt xtrace` Also, writing scripts in an IDE that supports your language. syntax highlighting can immediately tell you that you're doing something wrong. If an IDE isn't an option and you're using Bash or Sh, you can paste your script into https://www.shellcheck.net/ (Inspired by [this post on /r/bash](https://old.reddit.com/r/bash/comments/xcejrb/set_x_is_your_friend/))
