Cosa si fa con cosa


Dice Devon (rockz! 💥):
When using my cellphone, I tend to become a passive consumer of the internet.
When using my laptop, I become an active creator of it.
The difference is the input mechanisms. The friction and inefficiency of typing on a mobile device is high enough to discourage most production.

[qui] e si prende 492 retweet e 3008 mi piace. Disclaimer: ho retwittato anch'io; e adesso ne riparlo perché dice cose che voglio dire anch'io.

Molto più immediato, dice se ho capito bene, perché il telefono è più a portata di mano, subito pronto e allora capita che si usa anche quando non è il mezzo più adatto. Ma vedi il post di Alex. E per contro Benedict (la fonte di quel 90%?). Michael dice --e Devon è d'accordo-- che i limiti del telefono ti costringono a essere focalizzato sul fare, vedi Twitter. Ma Blender Sushi (hey, nice nick!) "[u]sing iPhone and iPad, you are pushed to live stream, create photo and video"... ma aspetta, è vero? --OK leggete il thread.

Insomma vengo a me che ho visto che --giustamente-- ci sono diverse opinioni diverse (nota qui: scrivere espressioni come questa confonde il traduttore automatico, ne riparlerò; oltretutto non è nemmeno tanto sensato continuare con questo gioco solo perché  faceva inkats  la prof saltava su (non capiva il gioco?)).

Seguo solo due social media: Facebook e Twitter. Anzi solo quest'ultimo, l'altro lo apro solo perché i miei amici (di FB e reali) sono lì. Ci sono foto, video (autoprodotti altrimenti Zuck te li scancella perché potresti violare i diritti, a me è capitato, mi ha anche sospeso per un po', ma vale mettere i links), testi cortissimi, uno o due paragrafi. Se metti un testo più lungo capita che qualche laik lo rimedi comunque, dai più affezionati ma non leggono, non commentano rispondendo a tono. Manca la possibilità di formattare il post, puoi mettere una sola immagine (che finisce in fondo), tutto piatto e noioso come la messa delle 11. Su Twitter non mi piacciono i thread distribuiti in N (con N grande a piacere) cinguettii monoparagrafo (i constraints... max 280 chars).

Insomma il Web non è più quello di una volta, i blog si stanno estinguendo, i siti d'informazione hanno problemi di affidabilità (e tanti sono paywallati) e anche la politica...

Tornando all'hardware ecco un altro argomento: Yesterday, I had  to order a $130 Texas Instruments (TI) calculator for my son. It is required by the school.

Ma non sarebbe possibile fare --meglio secondo me-- con il 'puter portatile? No, non necessariamente con cose difficili come Maxima (la versione grafica), ce ne sono altre più amichevoli, per esempio GeoGebra.



Mi dicono (ancora prima della pubblicazione, leggendo la bozza) che il telefono ce l'hanno tutti, il 'puter no.

ghis - grep | history non mi funziona da script e allora alias


OOPS! 😶 ho già scritto tutto nel titolo, posso lasciare vuoto il post! Ma non si usa e allora racconto.

Mi capita spesso di richiamare comandi; per questo c'è history e il file ~/.bash_history e i tasti freccia su e giù e altro ancora (chi ha detto fc?) ma alle volte --sapete la memoria, la mia-- devo scorrere e --ma c'è grep!

$ history | grep chmod
 1021  chmod +x meter
 1214  chmod +x pter
 1673  chmod +x cdl-ck-1
 1674  chmod +x cdl-ck-2
 1871  chmod +x ptw0
 1927  history | grep chmod


ah! ecco, il nome era cdl-ck-2, mnemonico (kwasy). In questo caso non serve ma lo so anch'io (quindi presumibilmente tutti) che per ri-eseguire un comando si può usare !N dove N è il numero indicato, per esempio !1927 ripete history | grep chmod.

Comodo, se un comando lo ripeti due volte lo ripeterai ancora e allora conviene farci lo script (cit. riportata male ma la sostanza è quella). Solo che non funziona. Ultimamente ci abbiamo provato, PLG, EL, BA, io e altri ancora che adesso dimentico di citare. Inizialmente avevamo pensato (PLG e me) che l'indagine classica --googlare Stack Overflow e il web tutto-- ci avrebbe rivelato cosa non andava e come fare ma niente, qualcuno riporta varianti del nostro script:

#!/bin/bash

echo 'cerco per' $1
history | grep $1


ma eseguito (notare l'echo per il debug) non è come si sperava:

$ bash ghis chmod
cerco per chmod
$


🤢 Panico? no, nope! 💥 si può fare l'alias:

$ alias ghis
alias ghis='history | grep'
$


sì, l'avevo già fatto prima di scrivere queste note, messo nel file ~/.bash_aliases ed è già attivo (altrimenti per vedere subito le modifiche inserite in ~/.bash_aliases occorrerebbe attivarlo con source ~/.bash_aliases, risaputo vero?). Funziona:

$ ghis chmod
 2006  history chmod | grep
 2007  history | grep chmod
 2008  history | grep chmod 10
 2009  history 10 | grep chmod
 2011  bash ghis chmod
 2016  ghis chmod
$


Sì nel frattempo ho eseguito diversi altri comandi; e sto barando, riporto solo la parte finale dell'output di ghis. Un ulteriore suggerimento (lo so che lo sapete ma se del caso...) trovo molto comodo aliasare anche grep:

$ alias grep
alias grep='grep --color=auto'
$


così l'espressione cercata sarà colorata (rosso per me).
