Programming Leftovers

Bash Command Line And Shell Scripts (Mercury Learning)
but sometimes it just looks like the Linux command line. As a result books on the "language" have to make a choice of targeting programmers or users. Books that target the programmer tend to assume that the reader knows most of the basics of the Linux command line and proceed from this point to introduce programming features that make scripting possible.This Pocket Primer spends a lot of time discussing the Linux command line and so is much more suitable for the beginner.
It starts off with a look at what Bash is and what shells use it and what you are likely to encounter in the real world. From here we have a fairly standard account of the command line mostly working with files. My only complaint is that there isn't enough distinction between the features that are Bash and those that are simply Linux/Unix utilities. Chapter 2 continues with an in-depth look at file commands. Chapter 3 lists "useful" commands - of course what is useful depends on what you are trying to do, but this is not a bad selection.

Make a Countdown and Pomodoro Timer in Python
In this tutorial, we’ll be creating a countdown timer that asks the user how much time (in seconds) they want to set the timer for—once time is up, print out “Blast Off!”.
We’ll also be creating an extension to this project where we’ll make a Pomodoro Timer with 25-minute and 5-minute intervals—the Pomodoro technique is a productivity method that is often used while studying or working. It uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short 5 minute breaks.

Print Debugging Should Go Away
There are many reasons why print debugging is still the best option for many developers. rr, Pernosco and similar tools can't even be used at all in many contexts. However, most of the limitations of these tools (programming languages, operating systems, hardware platforms, overhead) could be mitigated with sufficient investment in engineering work and a modicum of support from platform vendors. It's important to keep in mind that the level of investment in these tools to date has been incredibly low, basically just a handful of startups and destitute open source projects. If the software industry took debugging seriously — instead of just grumbling about the tools and reverting to print debugging (or, at best, building a polished implementation of the features debuggers have had since the 1980s) — and invested accordingly we could make enormous strides, and not many people would feel the need to resort to print debugging.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
