  • Both are right, depending on who you ask:

    most people see:

    8 / 2 * (2+2) = 16
    

    math people see “juxtaposition” instead of multiplication, it has precedence over multiplication and division:

    5 / 2a = 5 / (2 * a)
    

    Math notation just sucks and is not standard in general, everyone just tries to avoid ambiguity like in this equation.





  • If you are me, there is no brain space for remembering new commands. I can already barely hold on to few dozens that I use often. And occasionally when I need “that one that does that niche thing… how was it?” program - I just sit there sifting through logs for couple minutes.

    Today it was od (tbh it’s od almost half the time; not really the best name to memorize (I really need to make a note or something, so I stop forgetting it, lol))

    Also, for this reason I went to great lengths to keep my ~/.zsh_history protected from being randomly deleted/overwritten by mistake, as it happened a couple of times. Currently it’s sitting at around 30_000 lines, oldest command is 2 years old.
