Bash Reference Manual > Aliases
page's description: Bash Reference Manual "Aliases are expanded when a command is read, not when it is executed" "Aliases are expanded when a function definition is read, not when the function is executed, because a function definition is itself a compound command" note that if statements are also "compound commands", which have aliases expanded when their definition is read (i.e. at the beginning of the if statement, for the entire if statement), not when they are executed, and any aliases for function names in them need to be unaliased *before* the if statement containing the function definition. this is necessary even if the if statement is *not* executed, because the expansion of such aliases will cause syntax errors in the parsing of the if statement itself. "If the last character of the alias value is a space or tab character, then the next command word following the alias is also checked for alias expansion."
Bash Reference Manual > Filename Expansion
page's description: Bash Reference Manual "If GLOBIGNORE is set, each matching filename that also matches one of the patterns in GLOBIGNORE is removed from the list of matches. The filenames . and .. are always ignored when GLOBIGNORE is set and not null."
Bash Reference Manual > The Set Builtin
page's description: Bash Reference Manual -e: "The shell does not exit if the command that fails is part of the command list immediately following a while or until keyword, part of the test in an if statement, part of any command executed in a && or || list except the command following the final && or ||, any command in a pipeline but the last, or if the command’s return status is being inverted with !. A trap on ERR, if set, is executed before the shell exits."

"a way to take the exit status into account is to use the command substitution in a simple assignment: then the exit status of the assignment is the exit status of the last command substitution in the assignment(s)." the following doesn't work: "Only other solution that came to mind at this moment would be to use read: ls -l ghost_under_bed | read name" "Another case to watch for is explicit subshells: (somecommand). According to the interpretation above, the subshell may return a nonzero status, but since this is not a simple command in the parent shell, the parent shell should continue." this is why errexit doesn't work properly for subshells on Mac

screen

scrollback

note that viewing scrollback is much more difficult to do in screen than in the surrounding terminal program (which usually has graphical scrollbars). this is because screen provided scrolling before GUIs were available, so it had to rely on terminal rendering and keyboard commands. the ability to reconnect to a running shell (which is what screen is primarily used for nowadays) was actually an extra feature, rather than the primary purpose (providing scrollback), so it is not as well-engineered for that particular purpose as today's GUI users would like. for a better way to support reconnecting, see persistent shells.

sed : using colons as separators instead of forward slashes | commandlinefu.com
page's description: sed : using colons as separators instead of forward slashes - sed \"s:/old/direcory/:/new/directory/:\" <file> - Having to escape forwardslashes when using sed can be a pain. However, it's possible to instead of using / as the separator to use : . I found this by trying to substitute $PWD into my pattern, like so $ sed \"s/~.*/$PWD/\" file.txt Of course, $PWD will expand to a character string that begins with a / , which will make sed spit out an error such as \"sed: -e expression #1, char 8: unknown option to `s'\". So simply changing it to $ sed \"s:~.*:$PWD:\" file.txt did the trick.

page's description: The pros and (mostly) cons of MySQL's ENUM data-type (as compared to reference tables), as well as when it is okay to use and how to use it if you must. "With an ENUM we're actually storing pieces of data in a place that was only intended to hold crucial information about the model" "in large systems the effect of normalization can already tax the limits of human comprehension and complicate queries" "Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered." [Donald Knuth]

page's description: Kawoolutions,,SQL Database Design,8. User-Defined Types,8.3 Enumerated Types "some people claim, that MySQL ENUMs are much faster than separate tables, especially on large databases. Furthermore, enums can give you some savings in database size, depending on the implementation. For example, a MySQL ENUM occupies only one byte for up to 255 values and two bytes for up to 65535 values."

Since Java is more widespread than CPython, there is in general more interest in speeding up JVM's than in speeding up the CPython byte code interpreter."

BitTorrent Sync

SECURITY WARNING: There is an important security hole in the Linux version of BitTorrent Sync: when btsync is run with no arguments, it makes all your files suddenly *world-readable and world-writable*, via a publicly-accessible, unprotected web interface (the WebUI). The WebUI by default allows anyone on the web to create a sync folder to view and edit any files in directories writable by you. To fix this, you apparently *must* use a config file (with the --config option) which is appropriately secured by setting webui > password. If you are currently running btsync without a secured config file, you should run `killall btsync` to turn off the WebUI. You can use `lsof -i` to verify that the WebUI is not running. The security hole has been reported at http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/18612-security-hole-in-linux-webui-makes-all-your-files-publicly-accessible/ , but it's not clear when/whether they will fix it.

page's description: Question about the webUI - posted in BitTorrent Sync: Because I'd like to run this on a headless linux server, I'm obviously not going to be connecting from localhost. When I connect from a LAN interface on it's LAN IP I get "Invalid request" as shown below:- However, if I create an SSH tunnel so I'm connecting from localhost (In this case, 0.0.0.0:8889 --> localhost:8888) it works:- Is there anyway to get BitTorrent Sync to accept LAN requests?

security hole in Linux WebUI makes all your files publicly accessible - BitTorrent Sync - BitTorrent Forums
page's description: security hole in Linux WebUI makes all your files publicly accessible - posted in BitTorrent Sync: Running btsync on Linux will by default create a *publicly-accessible, unprotected* WebUI, allowing anyone on the web to create a sync folder to view and edit files your files (i.e. files in directories writable by you). Could the defaults (used when running btsync without a config file) be changed to prevent this unintended data leak? A temporary workaround is to run `killall btsync` to tur...

.SyncIgnore is great but... - BitTorrent Sync - BitTorrent Forums
page's description: .SyncIgnore is great but... - posted in BitTorrent Sync: .SyncIgnore is a file where you can filter out files you don't want synced.  However it seems that when I put files in here bittorrent decides to delete those files rather than leave them un-touched.  That is unexpected.  Is this a bug?  Expected behavior?  Am I using it wrong? Cheers

Move synced directory - BitTorrent Sync - BitTorrent Forums
page's description: Move synced directory - posted in BitTorrent Sync: I would like to move where a directory is synced to without re-syncing it. Suppose I have given a read-only key to 10 other people, and now I want it stored in a different place on my machine. Is there any way of doing that without having them all delete the old and add a new key?

Bug #788256 “inkscape cannot dock toolbars” : Bugs : “inkscape” package : Ubuntu
page's description: Binary package hint: inkscape I installed Inkscape for the first time on Ubuntu 11.04 and I see that the main toolbar and the toolbar for sticking lines and segments where on the right side (later noticed the "wide" and "standard" views). 1) I tried to move the main toolbar and it worked like expected in vertical mode. I could however not dock the toolbar on top, horizontally. 2) When I tried to move the other toolbar it would not dock anywhere, not even where it was at the beginning. Pro...
