  • no, i think azerty takes the absolute cake, but the german layout is also dogshit. it’s qwertz for one, which is shit. and the placement of { [ ] } are absurd.

    and it’s not necessary that these languages have shit layouts. look at the polish programmer’s layout, that’s a sane way to add extra letters.



  • she’s from the “alter” artist generation(s?) i think, or nearly so. none of them really became popstars, it was more of an underground thing.

    often no musical talent, really shitty instruments, weird artsy stuff, deliberately bad music (as a joke i guess?), funny/nonsense lyrics.

    they had fans from my parents’ generation to mine i, or something like that. i was never really into this scene, except for a couple of absurd songs from AE bizottsag.












  • when you create the alias, the shell substitutes the $1 (to nothing, probably) since your alias is in "" (double quotes).
    now, if you swap the single and double quotes, then the substitution still happens, but at invocation time instead of at definition time.
    you actually want perl to deal with this $1, so neither is good.

    you have three options:

    • write a function instead, as has been suggested
    • use $'' quoting, which lets you put ’ (single quote) inside ’ (single quote) without going mad: alias cica=$'foo \'$bar\' baz'
    • go insane and do this: alias cica='foo '\''$bar'\'' baz' (this is the old way, without bash’s $'')
