Is anyone using awk?

I use awk all the time, nothing too fancy, but when you need to pull out elements of text it's usually way easier than using cut.

awk {' print $3 '} will pull the third element based on your IFS variable (internal field separater, default is whitespace)

awk {' print $NF '} gets you the last element, and awk {' print $(NF-1) '} gets you one element from the last, and so on.

Basic usage but so fast and easy for so many everyday command line things.

Weird, right?

I never quite noticed that before, but honestly, that's probably part of the reason I like the first season more than the others. It really felt like they were out there exploring instead of just the pew pew action combat it became.

That Voyager is one clean burning starship though, I’ll tell you what.

The cannon answer is that it doesn't work that way, it coverts you to energy and that energy is turned back into you so "nothing changes". In cannon it doesn't kill you and assemble a new copy, and you can't duplicate a person because you only have one copy of their energy.

Accidents like Thomas Riker are not supposed to be possible and only happen when they encounter strange energies which cause reactions that aren't understood, so they can't just make duplicates on demand.

Especially this meme

Reply in thread

I have never interpreted this as making fun of Rick Astley, just a stupid joke to trick people into watching something. I totally agree, he is very talented.

The meme has been a huge benefit to him as well, his popularity skyrocketed with a generation that wasn't around when he was first popular and led to tons of listens and sales of his music, heck they even had him play at the Macy's day parade!

As I recall, I read an interview with him, and he didn't quite understand the meme, but he was thrilled it had blown up his popularity again and introduced so many new people to his music.

What Do People Think of Apple's Vision Pro Headsets?

What would you use it for? Honest question.

I can't see using it for work. Writing a long email with an onscreen keyboard is not realistic.

It doesn't really play games.

So it's for watching YouTube on your face? I have a TV and couch that do that, and a phone in my pocket 24/7 that will do that. I honestly can't figure out the use case.

contempt of rule

What's a good solution for a remote control and "TV like" interface for browsing accessing things? I really just want a good YouTube and jellyfin interface with a normal remote.
