pff no, they ask you how sorting works and then put you to work using sql’s ORDER BY. at that point, why ask?

vim will load some other rc file if it cant find your ~/.vimrc. check what it has loaded with :scriptnames

also, try starting vim in a brand new terminal with vim -u NONE and check if it’s still happening.

ah, but only some of it was good. i disliked the czech ones or the ones by chuck jones.

oh yeah, mine expects me to fix the weather too. or to open the window to the other outside, the one that doesnt have rain.

she once caught a mouse without hurting it (much), brought it inside and then sat on it. just sat on the mouse. and the mouse just cowered there, sunk in her chest fur.

is this about the copper again?

in that case, i’d prefer a ~/bin/zcat with the contents

#!/bin/sh
exec gzip -cdf "$@"

this way, it’s exec’able, unlike an alias or shell function.

zgrep . * should do the trick

oh, there’s also zcat -f *

my whole elementary school class visited my dad’s workplace once, cos it was cool. it had a huge anechoic chamber.

and the cantine had canada dry.

no, there’s also documentation that is 10 years old, entirely out of date and very incomplete.

does anything flush the buffers after the print, but before the break? otherwise, if the stream you’re printing to is buffered, you’re not necessarily gonna see any output

everything randomly distributed between ~/dl and ~/tmp (i dont even remember why i have both), and then i use lr to find stuff (alias lr='ls -lrth'). or find.

i’m afraid it’s M$ or MiKKKroSSoft. your choice.

i’d probably do

function cap() {
        prename 's/(^[a-z]?)/\U$1/' "$@"
}

it means it has to be invoked as cap *, but it also means that you can do cap foo* or whatever

when you create the alias, the shell substitutes the $1 (to nothing, probably) since your alias is in "" (double quotes).
now, if you swap the single and double quotes, then the substitution still happens, but at invocation time instead of at definition time.
you actually want perl to deal with this $1, so neither is good.

you have three options:

• write a function instead, as has been suggested
• use $'' quoting, which lets you put ’ (single quote) inside ’ (single quote) without going mad: alias cica=$'foo \'$bar\' baz'
• go insane and do this: alias cica='foo '\''$bar'\'' baz' (this is the old way, without bash’s $'')

but without traditions, we’re just drifting aimlessly through life
