Safe ways to do things in bash Why bash? Bash has arrays and a safe mode, which may make it just about acceptable under safe coding practices, when used correctly. Fish is easier to use correctly, but lacks a safe mode. via Pocket

Most testing is ineffective - Hypothesis
hypothesis.works
Hypothesis is a modern implementation of property based testing, designed from the ground up for mainstream languages.
Hypothesis runs your tests against a much wider range of scenarios than a human tester could, finding edge cases in your code that you would otherwise have missed. It then turns them into simple and easy to understand failures that save you time and money compared to fixing them if they slipped through the cracks and a user had run into them instead.

I’m a relatively recent convert to GNU Emacs; Haskell mode is what made me make the switch, but Org mode is what has kept me here. I’ve tried several applications for todo management before, but have not been able to make one stick. via Pocket

“You Americans, you’re all the same. Always overdressing for the wrong occasions” said Major Toht (Raiders of the Lost Ark). Sometimes… that’s how I feel about the continuous delivery process. We overdo the delivery process for the wrong reasons. via Pocket

Outliners are ideal for jotting down thoughts and ideas. Some people may prefer mind-maps, but in the end the underlying data structures are mostly identical. The outliner lists are certainly more efficient for a proficient typist and are easily mixed with other parts of a text. via Pocket

When I came across Charlie Munger’s 1995 Speech, The Psychology of Human Misjudgment, I realized that I could learn more from him than my MBA. So I spent the next few years reading and researching about cognitive biases and how we mislead ourselves. via Pocket

A grasp of Git - Technical Blog - Future Processing — Technical Blog – Future Processing

Git is simple but different – it is probably the most popular version control system (VCS) used in IT projects around the world. It is also very often misused because although it is very similar to other VCSs at the API level, it is very different underneath. via Pocket

BashFAQ/050 - Greg's Wiki

I'm trying to put a command in a variable, but the complex cases always fail!
Variables hold data. Functions hold code. Don't put code inside variables! There are many situations in which people try to shove commands, or command arguments, into variables and then run them. Each case needs to be handled separately.
For the simple case in bash, you can use an array to store arguments to pass to a command (similar to constructing a command using args only known at runtime, below):
#code #bash #command #variable #array #pub
