I kinda wanted to use windowmaker but idk how to properly set it up, and with which distro to run it (was thinking about alpine, but I tried it in a vm and it didn’t work as anticipated – no menus, and I was perpetually stuck), any ideas?

just testing the max numbers

that’s pointless

it very much depends on what your goal is

for instance, long double is compeltely useless if your scope is just numbers between 0 and 1

yes needless

and if you’re calculating very precise measurements, you should worry more about the order of operations being in a similar order of magnitude

or just use a meta-type

if you’re working with money, for instance, these errors are unacceptable. you’re better off using fixed point arithmetics (e.g struct, or built-in), for instance

get it

very nice of you

anytime

in case this isn’t obvious: 500 000 + 2, for instance, is the same as 5*10^5 + 2*10^0

e.g 5.00e5 + 2.00e0

which just yields 5.00e5

adding +2 meant absolutely nothing, it didn’t change your value

of course, we’re not in base 10 in computing, but the same logic applies

i on deb use wmker since y2k
i apt install it along xinit and xorg and startx via ~/.xinitrc

manually stack up the srts to a var and use in mpv cmd
i suggest mplayer from long ago btw

max numbers where
bash is 32 / 64 b
gawk is unlimited

For the sake of completeness, there are machines with a word length
that’s not 16, 32 or 64 or even any power of two. I don’t know if bash
runs in any such machine, or indeed if any such are actually still in
production use anywhere (probably not), but here’s one way to get the
maximum integer in any case:

a=$( printf “%x” -1 )
MAXINT=$(( 0x$(( 0x${a::1} >> 1 ))${a:1} ))

Not seriously recommended for any use other than having fun with bash
features. 🙂

this is some weird pro bash code from bash list to get max int .. was just few days ago

what’s hhe difference

yeah i thought about it

but i still feel this should be a feature

i just understood u wanted mpv to play srt with fixed args as it doesnt find them

nah, fixed works

i have no good imho about != mplayer[2]

then make small cmd to include it

u can stack args for multi srt i dunno your criteria though

mpv –sub-file=Subs/Our.Flag.Means.Death.S01E01.1080p.WEBRip.x265-RARBG[eztv.re]/2_English.srt Our.Flag.Means.Death.S01E01.1080p.WEBRip.x265-RARBG[eztv.re].mp4 works

something like:
mpv –sub-file=Subs/”$1″/2_English.srt “$1”.mp4 would do the trick

i see a small way
u make a wrapper script that has an array of ‘wanted exact srt s’ and play always with that cmd
then the cmd checks for srts in per arg and includes if found

.. what u say

guess i could also mpv –sub-file=Subs/”$(basename “$1”)”/2_English.srt “$1”

use ${1##*/}

but yes
