I need to inspect from time to time the output of something with tail -f while the above code is continuing its execution, any idea?

Yeah but you let them break things AFTER gving the instructions that can be xonsidered a manual?

In suckless software I think the source code is the configuration file!😂

which is my complaint

smol_mazunki 2022-09-18 00:40:27

(not the only complaint, btw)

smol_mazunki 2022-09-18 00:40:38

there ARE patches to split the configuration off into a file, btw

Xresources patch and I love it

dwm is broken by design xd

smol_mazunki 2022-09-18 00:41:54

to have a working dwm you have to fix it yourself

smol_mazunki 2022-09-18 00:41:58

which is a dumb approach

smol_mazunki 2022-09-18 00:42:01

far from pragmatic

Jamerive 2022-09-18 00:42:36

I don’t hate the way of suckless. l but the lack of docs it is my complain. They assume you know C!😂

it’s self-documented! 😀

Jamerive 2022-09-18 00:44:15

It would be fun to see him use a saw without a manual. Selfdocument yourself cutting your hand in the process of learning how to use it!😂

smol_mazunki 2022-09-18 00:44:33

i cut my finger today 🙁

smol_mazunki 2022-09-18 00:44:50

throwing out the trash

Jamerive 2022-09-18 00:45:08

But looking the good side, I love the proposal of having small but productivity tools

smol_mazunki 2022-09-18 00:45:09

i do think breaking stuff is an important step towards learning

smol_mazunki 2022-09-18 00:45:19

i’m a teacher, and my students keep on asking me “is this correct?”

Are you joking, right?

smol_mazunki 2022-09-18 00:45:26

and i’m like “idk, why don’t you try it out?”

smol_mazunki 2022-09-18 00:45:37

and when they see the wrong results i make them reflect upon what they did wrong

smol_mazunki 2022-09-18 00:45:54

it’s more valuable for them to see their own mistakes, and realize that fucking up is not a sin

Yeah but you let them break things AFTER gving the instructions that can be xonsidered a manual? And the community is not that approcheable either

smol_mazunki 2022-09-18 00:46:42

tbh i don’t think i’ve ever seen a dwm community

smol_mazunki 2022-09-18 00:46:49

and i think that’s a result of their approach

smol_mazunki 2022-09-18 00:46:55

“fix it yourself haha yes”

Jamerive 2022-09-18 00:47:10

They are, in IRC

while true; do echo -e “onentwonthree”; sleep 1; done | sed -ne ‘s/(.*)/look: 1/p’ | tee -a something

I’m starting to wonder if the flow of data between theses pipes is sync, sed keeps it for himself and as a consequence cat something is empty.
