Then I'm reminded that it's not a know file or directory.
I understand that DEC TOPS 20 influenced CP/M and MS-DOS, so that could be the source for type.

Edit: type has its own wiki, and TOPS-20 implemented it.
I've had it on every Windows computer I used at work since forever now, and it is extremely useful to be able to use things like `sed` and `gawk` (and even `make`) from the command prompt
set filepath="C:\some path\having spaces.txt"
for /F "delims=" %%i in (%filepath%) do set dirname="%%~dpi"
for /F "delims=" %%i in (%filepath%) do set filename="%%~nxi"
for /F "delims=" %%i in (%filepath%) do set basename="%%~ni"
echo %dirname%
echo %filename%
echo %basename%
$file = Get-ChildItem "C:\some path\having spaces.txt"
Write-Output $file.DirectoryName
Write-Output $file.Name
Write-Output $file.BaseName
$file = gci "C:\some path\having spaces.txt"
echo $file.DirectoryName
echo $file.Name
echo $file.BaseName
Kudos to the author for their honesty in admitting AI use, but this killed my interest in reading this. If you can use AI to generate this list, so can anyone. Why would I want to read AI slop?
HN already discourages AI-generated comments. I hope we can extend that to include a prohibition on all AI-generated content.

Unfortunely at work it isn't as easy with all the KPIs related to taking advantage of AI to "improve" our work.
Most of my issues with it are probably just skill issues tho since like i said i dont really use or know it alot so i am happy to be corrected :) I mean if every Windows Sysadmin tells me how great powershell is, i cant just assume that they all are wrong (Or maybe its just the only way todo something thats otherwise simple over the terminal on windows, idk)
Just because it's the mess we are all intimately familiar with, doesn't make it less of a mess.
> Linux: find / -name "config.txt"
This is not how you find a file across the entire system, you use plocate for that. find would take ages to do what plocate does instantly
Use one of these instead:
-TERM then wait, if not
-INT then wait, if not
-HUP then wait, if not
-ABRT
It could also monitor the target process and inform you immediately when it exits, saving you the trouble of using "ps" to confirm that the target is actually gone.
Usually the process is either working correctly and terminates when asked, or else not working correctly and needs to be KILLed.
Signal 9 cannot be ignored.
Is it still passed when a terminal is disconnected? I understand a dial-up modem was involved in the original intended use.
ctrl+r
netstat works perfectly fine on linux as well. If you're looking for https connections it's certainly far more efficient than 'lsof'.
also if you use '-n' then you're not going to get service names translated, so that probably should be:
netstat -n -a | find "443"
Ah, I see, googling the equivalent of "clear" was too much work and you had to get an LLM to do it for you. Well at least you were honest about it
