The "$@" doesn't do that you think it does in an alias. It gets expanded on alias creation.
Exact same. Sway's 1.0 release was March of 2019, and it did everything I needed.
Even playing games on my desktop, Xwayland worked fine for me.
You're deluded if you think that "everybody" let alone a large minority of people say that the Linux desktop is "good, perfect and polished".
Our group did a two-part Microscope-like after a "season" of 14 sessions to wrap up a ton of loose ends and set up the next season. It was super satisfying to zoom in on only what the players wanted to see and resolve.
Our first session of January is going to be another Microscope session too, we've got a giant pointcrawl to backtrack and see the fallout of our action or inaction.
type -p is a shell builtin though, and one character shorter :)
Although you may prefer tool=$(command -v tool)

It's interesting, the results here are way different than the Code Golf & Coding Challenges Stack Exchange. I would never expect Haskell to be that low. But after looking at code.golf, I realize it's because I/O on CG&CC is more relaxed. Most Haskell submissions are functions which return the solution.
Sidenote: I like the CG&CC method, it's semi-competitive, semi-cooperative.
- all languages welcome
- almost all users post "Try it Online"/"Attempt This Online" links
- most users post explanations under their submissions
- often people will post solutions beginning with "port of user1234's excellent Foolang answer" when there's a clever shortcut someone finds
- or people will post their own solution with "here's a solution which doesn't use user1234's algorithm"
- or people will add comments to answers with minor improvements
IMO It's geared towards what is the best part about code golf: teaching people about algorithm design and language design.
I learned Fish by helping someone else in a chat. There's a lot of cool things, and I think it's an excellent shell. Fish is an excellent choice for a shell.
Zsh is a much more featureful language (with globbing/subscript/PE flags, native floating point arithmetic, the whole man zshmodules), which doesn't necessarily make it a better shell. But I like those features, and I find it to be a natural choice to write more complex programs which normally would be a code smell for Bash.
The plugin ecosystem for is much larger than Fish's as well.
"Always configuring" isn't what Arch requires. It requires you to be tolerant of every so often dealing with a bug or two. Currently, the Arch-packaged version of Waybar has a regression which prints fractional seconds when using %T or %S specifiers. A tad annoying, and I could fix it by switching to waybar-git, where it's been patched. But that hasn't hit my threshold of annoyance, as I bounce between Sway and KDE.
The grub issue was a bigger deal, and while I knew how to resolve it (liveboot → lsblk and fdisk -l got me all the info I needed, then cryptsetup, mount -o subvol=@, arch-chroot, grub-install) the EOS blog had a nice guide.
But the reason why I chose it? Firewalld and Pipewire by default, customizable welcome app, and pretty simple otherwise.
NixOS will probably fully convert me in a year or two, but I've greatly enjoyed my time on Endeavour.
I was going to say "At least I can click 'Continue reading' and it actually goes away immediately" but actually, no. This is still enshittification, I've just gotten used to shittier versions of it.
I'm a fan of this; it's how Slide handled it.
I also prefer Slide's method of collapsing comments; it only collapses the child comments, not the one you pressed on. (although it also has an option to collapse it too)
I think each of 3.8 through 3.11 were substantial, just in different ways.
