I recommend you gnu parallel. It does similar things, but runs the commands in parallel. And it’s way easier to pipe than xargs. If you really need it to run one command at a time you can give number of cores to 1. And it also has progress bars, colors to differentiate stdout fo different commands, etc.

Basic example: to echo each line

parallel echo < somefile.txt

To download all links, number of jobs 4, show progress

parallel -j 4 --bar ''curl -O" < links.txt

You can do lot more stuffs with inputs, like placing them wherever with {}, numbers ({1} is first) that allow multiple unique arguments, transformers like remove extension, remove parent path, etc. worth learning

Inkscape can generate QR code

But you need tdf installed on the server for that right?

I realize I rarely have to do it so I tend to just download and open the pdf, or use X forwarding. Or while using emacs I just open the remote file (which basically downloads and opens I guess).

Arch also kinda allows that if you write custom PKGBUILD file. It’s easy to write for simple stuffs that are based on make/cargo etc.

It’s time consuming if some program gives you 100s of lines of code in bash script to install their program though.

Edit:

Another disadvantage of building from source is dependency management. You might accidentally uninstall some dependencies, the standard library versions might change and break your packages, etc.

Using package manager mitigates that.

Wait, are there repo that just has dating info? You just make PR for your profile. Honestly with GitHub free pages we could definitely do that lol

The android auto equivalent for cars would be something I’d be interested in, that’s the only reason I had to reenable google on my phone. I don’t see any open source software that do it.

You can’t use phone calls or texting when your family lives in the other side of the globe. Many parents are not tech savvy for them to be able to use something else if you aren’t there to set it up. Lot’s of them got into Facebook, and their friends are there, and we need to be there for them to reach us. It’s the network effect.

Also for many parents, internet = Facebook. They don’t even use emails, or any other services for that matter, maybe news websites that are bookmarked in their browser years ago by their children.

Internet looks very different without it.

Can’t see instructions on how to use it, do I need to do anything non trivial on my phone? Should I test it on an old phone?

I am really liking iced right now.though it’s not mature yet.

Writing GUI has always been a complicated thing for me and I try to avoid as much as possible. I moved to iced from gtk because of easier compatibility with multiple OSes. It makes a lot of things easier if it’s already there, otherwise it’s a hassle to make new things. Like the network view is custom widget I made.

Yeah, I could only find one that works on kde plasma with Wayland, but it doesn’t even have a tab key. Does anyone know how hard it is to make/modify one?

My understanding is this:

It’s just the principle of AUR wrappers. Yes they are very useful, but anyone and their uncle can put a package in AUR name it whatever they want as long as it’s not taken. AUR wrapper makes it easier to install things without knowing much, but manually searching for something, finding it, and installing it involves conscious choices. Arch cannot be responsible for people installing malware from a software they recommended, that’s why it’s kept this way intensionally.

Imagine if yay/paru came with the os, or could be installed from pacman, then people would just recommend doing that to new users and then they might just install whatever and break the system a lot more.

That’s what I thought, but then when arch install fcks up it seems even harder to fix. I ised it because I have been getting new computers so it was easier to run run it. It messed up the SSD in a way, and trying to run it again wouldn’t work because it can’t find the SSD that it did something to. It took a while to manually fix all that.

Also idk why arch install doesn’t have easy way to partition home and root, the default suggestions’s root is too small, changing it requires manually making each partition, just take an integer(%) allocated for home and calculate from there.

Yup, considering they deprecated so many functions and removed them I’d imagine switching would be really hard.

Even while writing my new projects in gtk4 (tiny projects) I run into problems of many solutions no longer working because the functions are removed without any replacements.

Yes thank you. I am using it. I’m good with finding things on the Internet but I’m struggling with parts that are deeper and not well documented. There are big projects that use pyo3, but not plugins. And there are big projects with plugins but not pyo3.

There is a python library as well. But the core algorithm and the plugins are in rust. The GIS component also is computationally intensive or memory intensive, that makes Rust have advantages over python. And the Whitehouse is also talking about more memory safe languages so it seems like a good choice to do it in rust over c/c++ for computational parts and the plugin architecture.

Edit: As for professors. I need external professor for my committee, and this is a good option as I’m not familiar with any CS professors in my university that do grad research.

I’m trying to do computationally intensive things, and I didn’t want to do them in C/C++ because of practical reasons. I am making a python library as well, so people using the program can either use the CLI/rust library or the python library. The plugins and the core program is in Rust.

\1 is group 1 which is inside (), so second part is repeated 2 or more times of 2 or more char.

You forgot empty line. Since first part is ^.?$ it’s one or zero of any character.
