In honor of Meta's latest announcement, a thread on 175 years of 3D failure. Let's first go all the way back to 1851 with the Brewster Stereoscope. No less a person than Queen Victoria was impressed, kicking off a fad that quickly sold over 250,000 units. Turns […] [Original post on sfba.social]

One of my coworkers refers to Open Source as “the most incredible thing humanity has ever accomplished.” When he says that, he’s not making a socioeconomic or political statement, nor is he ignoring technical shortcomings. Rather, he is making an observation about how millions of people have […]

here's the final version of the "redirects cheat sheet" draft I posted a while back! ("The Secret Rules of the Terminal is finished! 95 beta readers have read it! the copy editor is done! technical review is done! the illustrator has made the cover! It's […] [Original post on social.jvns.ca]

cmd > file.txt
cmd >> file.txt
cmd < file.txt
cmd 2> file.txt
cmd > file.txt 2>&1
cmd1 | cmd2
cmd1 2>&1 | cmd2

three gotchas:

1. cmd file.txt > file.txt will delete the contents of file.txt

some people use set -o noclobber (in bash/zsh) to avoid this

But I just have "never read from and redirect to the same file" seared into my memory.

2. sudo echo blah > /root/file.txt doesn't write to /root/file.txt as root. Instead, do:

echo blah | sudo tee /root/file.txt

or

sudo sh -c 'echo blah > /root/file.txt'

3. cmd 2>&1 > file.txt doesn't write both stdout and stderr to file.txt. Instead, do:

cmd > file.txt 2>&1

panel 3: cat vs <

I almost always prefer to do:

cat file.txt | cmd

instead of

cmd < file.txt

it usually works fine & it feels better to me

using cat can be slower if it's a GIANT file though

panel 4: &> and &|

some shells support &> and &| to redirect/pipe both stdout and stderr

(also some shells use |& instead of &|)
