🌈 ☯️Teresita🐧👭The <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unix</a> tool called <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/more" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#more</a> lets you browse <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/text" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#text</a> files but you can't go backwards so there's another tool called <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/less" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#less</a> that has more options, on the theory that less is more. Now there's still another tool called <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/most" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#most</a> that has even more features than less! I'm holding out for least. <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/G3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#G3</a>

Mark T. Tomczak(Possibly relevant to <a href="https://social.jvns.ca/@b0rk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@b0rk</a> 's interests)So I hit a flag in diff, <code>--unchanged-group-format</code>. It does not show up in the manpage. It does not show up in --help. You can search both those channels for that string and you will not find it.You know where it shows up first? If you Google it, you'll get an example in <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/manual/html_node/Line-Group-Formats.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/manual/html_node/Line-Group-Formats.html</a>.So why doesn't it show up in the manpage? Well, it does! If you read the entire manpage. With your eyes.<pre><code> -D, --ifdef=NAME output merged file with '#ifdef NAME' diffs --GTYPE-group-format=GFMT format GTYPE input groups with GFMT --line-format=LFMT format all input lines with LFMT --LTYPE-line-format=LFMT format LTYPE input lines with LFMT These format options provide fine-grained control over the output of diff, generalizing -D/--ifdef. LTYPE is 'old', 'new', or 'unchanged'. GTYPE is LTYPE or 'changed'. </code></pre>"What do you mean it isn't documented? Of course it's documented. You did read every line and do some template-substitution in your brain, didn't you?"This isn't advocating for not reading the manpage. If you really want to understand how the tool works, you read the whole manpage. And probably the source code. 😉 ... but I don't want to understand how the tool works. I want to diff two files and not have the lines that are the same get emitted.And I think a lot of application- and solution-generating computer people, most of the time, in most of their careers, are operating on that level of depth. Problems come in too fast and with too much variety. You absolutely go deep on some things. There is no time to go deep on everything.So how do we address this (other than throw up our hands and say "Relying on Google's fuzzy search of the whole Internet and vibe-coding LLMs is the future actually")? I don't have magic bullets, but a "fuzzy search" mode in something like <code>less</code> that could take an input like <code>--unchanged-group-format</code> and twig that it if there's no exact match, it might be related to <code>--GTYPE-group-format</code> would be nice.Maybe I should mock that up in emacs. Actually, I bet someone already put it in emacs. ;)<a href="https://mastodon.fixermark.com/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emacs</a> <a href="https://mastodon.fixermark.com/tags/manpage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#manpage</a> <a href="https://mastodon.fixermark.com/tags/less" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#less</a>

Chuck DarwinElon Musk’s charity may bear his name, but it can’t seem to match his penchant for high-dollar spending. According to a New York Times analysis of his charity’s giving in 2022, the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musk</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Foundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Foundation</a> gave out just $160 million in grants —a whopping $234 million <a href="https://c.im/tags/less" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#less</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/than" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#than</a> the five-percent <a href="https://c.im/tags/legal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#legal</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/minimum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minimum</a> it needed to distribute between 2021 and 2022. It was the fourth-largest shortfall of any U.S. charity in 2022, the last year for which records are available. The revelation was one of multiple in the Times’ report on Musk’s charitable giving, which has often benefited his own associates or those of his companies. Musk reportedly filled some of the foundation’s coffers by donating Tesla stock, which he is allowed to claim as a tax deduction. Not all of the charity’s donations have benefited his own interests, however: The foundation donated more than $1 million to schools in Flint, Michigan, and a charity aimed at helping children there. But where that foundation donates is still up to him and the foundation’s board—which includes just him and two other volunteers.<a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/elon-musks-charity-missed-its-minimum-giving-by-over-dollar200-million-report" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thedailybeast.com/elon-musks-charity-missed-its-minimum-giving-by-over-dollar200-million-report</a>

Ricardo HarvinTo be clear, though my last <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/web" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#web</a> job was two years ago, it's been almost seven years since I've had to do any type of <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/server" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#server</a> admin or <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#software</a> installs as a standard part of my job, mostly following prescribed steps, and command line work has been limited to <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LESS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LESS</a>, mostly, since then.
