cmd > file.txt
cmd >> file.txt
cmd < file.txt
cmd 2> file.txt
cmd > file.txt 2>&1
cmd1 | cmd2
cmd1 2>&1 | cmd2
three gotchas:
1. cmd file.txt > file.txt will delete the contents of file.txt
some people use set -o noclobber (in bash/zsh) to avoid this
But I just have "never read from and redirect to the same file" seared into my memory.
2. sudo echo blah > /root/file.txt doesn't write to /root/file.txt as root. Instead, do:
echo blah | sudo tee /root/file.txt
or
sudo sh -c 'echo blah > /root/file.txt'
3. cmd 2>&1 > file.txt doesn't write both stdout and stderr to file.txt. Instead, do:
cmd > file.txt 2>&1
panel 3: cat vs <
I almost always prefer to do:
cat file.txt | cmd
instead of
cmd < file.txt
it usually works fine & it feels better to me
using cat can be slower if it's a GIANT file though
panel 4: &> and &|
some shells support &> and &| to redirect/pipe both stdout and stderr
(also some shells use |& instead of &|)

Not all samurai during the Edo period (1603–1868) wore suits of armor. Some, like rōnin who were not in the employment of a lord or samurai police officials in the large cities like Edo, today’s Tokyo, wore chain mail (kusari) for protection. This is a matching set of chain mail jacket (kusari katabira) and gloves (kusari han kote). The linked chain is attached on layers of indigo dyed cloth, decorated with family crests in gold. The collar was once furnished with hexagon shaped iron plates (kikkō) that are now lost.

Nissan NV200 van that has seen many better days in NYC taxi livery, complete with dents and multiple improvised repairs.
Not sure if there are any fans here of The Autopian, but a dozen or so of us readers got to hang out will Jason, Matt, and Griffin yesterday evening as they drive their $800, 375,000 mile salvage ex-NYC cab project car across the country. I’ve been following the disaster of a project for months as they resurrected it from dead. The cab was absolutely as janky as expected, and the Autopian crew were great.

(Side note - the taxi had a working meter programmed with current rates. A cab ride from NYC to Columbus would run you roughly $2880.)
Update: I'm (kind of) on The Autopian! https://www.theautopian.com/taxi-tre...

Cool, I wasn’t aware of this and will enjoy catching up. Jason and I live in the same town and have crossed paths a few times. No surprise he’s a really nice person.
@jive_t He really was. It's nice when the people whose work you've been reading for years turn out to be exactly like you expected.
Longtime fan. They’re my kind of car nerds.
@MackReed It's pretty amazing what they've built with that site, but they have definitely put in the work. Independent journalism in the internet age at its finest!
I’m a sucker for a fix-it story
@jive_t Oh wild, where in NC? I'm always impressed by the famous people who live in Durham that I've never, ever crossed paths with. That I know of. I'm pretty nearly celebrity-blind. Despite being a fan of Superchunk for decades, my wife had to point Mac McCaughan out to me when we attended one of the Mergefests. He was working the gate and took our tickets. He's also, like, 6'4".

Missing: DC
Californian, Mississippian and Missourian are both labeled "an," against all evidence. I'd also argue that New Jerseyan is phonetically an "ian."
Hawaiian is an ethnicity, then? So we don't use it for residents?
Illinois is quite the outlier

Newspaper ad for Silver Spring, MD's "Vinyl Ink: The Record Store! Specializing in New & Used LP's & 45's". Its logo is an LP dripping, inkblot-like, from a fountain pen. A person with spiky hair in black shirt and patched jeans is dancing to music on their turntable, surrounded by LPs from Siouxie and the Banshees, the Beatles, the Damned, Springsteen, Joy Division, Madness, and the Cure.

I was living in Virginia, but would drive to there and Yesterday & Today in Rockville all the time. There a so many records that I passed on that I *wish* I had bought at this time.
@meatadelic There was Go! in Arlington that I sometimes went to as well if I was kicking around DC.

Picture of a group of lovely horses cloned from the same mare, and text reading
'Inside the pasture were seven clones of the same mare, all two years old or younger and being kept for a polo client. The chocolate-brown fillies looked so similar, it felt like a trick of the eye, although it was their behavior that caught me off guard. Instead of scattering around the meadow, they all grazed in a clump, and when they saw us walking through the pasture, they trotted over, moving in unison like a murmuration of starlings. Each one explored me in the same affable way as they took turns sniffing my sneakers, notebook, and hair. All seven trailed us back to the car.
'To many of ViaGen’s clients, cloning is appealing because of the potential they see to replicate an animal’s physical and mental makeup. ViaGen’s website assures customers that a clone can share the original’s temperament and intelligence. But some people have come to believe that clones get even more from the founder animal than that: They theorize that past experiences can be recorded in an organism’s cells through a process they refer to as “cellular memory,” and transmitted just like eye color. “There’s not a scientist in the world who will agree with me, except that I’ve seen it,” Veneklasen said.'

Every clone requires a surrogate to gestate it. This article contains a LOT of passages that are bone-chilling in light of the recent attacks on women's bodily autonomy.

Bet Musk is working on a clone
@Kevin He literally has a business subsidiary that exists solely to insemnate surrogate mothers with his sperm and manage their monthly stipends. I could believe that he's got people working on cloning him but the known reality is already pretty bad.
I read an article recently about genetic transfer between mother and offspring post conception, and a lot of interchange happens. So the surrogate mother adds to the mix, in the case of cloned creatures.

red background with white text that reads, "Normalize asking 'is that a furry thing' whenever a guy say's they're an alpha"
Don't underestimate Mean Girls/ highschool power, look at how much Gretta has accomplished in her young life!
Don't guys usually say they're an alfa, because they aren't?
I interpret that as in alpha software versions: unstable, barely functional, will probably break stuff, and definitely not intended for the general public.

A sarcastic chart called “how to be an adult.” It includes “feel owie,” be excited for bedtime,” “existential dread,” etc.
None of it seems fun.

My daughter called me the other day and hollered “I didn’t even ask to be here and I owe taxes!” I’m sorry she had to grow up.
jokes on them I refuse phone calls and I love mac n cheese!!! I love bedtime! Sleep time is great time!
also I just don't get what broom and trench coat means? Like is that for shooing off racoons or black bears? I love racoons! I love bears! so muahahahaha, even better (don't tell me)

@williwaw I am almost middle class now that I have this new soul-sucking job, so it’s deluxe velveeta shells and cheese around this fine palace. No more of that powdered… cheese… food… process… substance…
Iron, lol.
I have an iron and a full sized, and mini, ironing board, which I haven't used in a decade, here. I ironed my besties, daughter's wedding gown, 20 years ago, that is the last time I ironed anything. No commas were falsely incarcerated, starved, beaten, deprived of their rights, or deported in this post.
I ironed a shirt this morning. I am traveling to meet with the rest of our team in person and I like to look as professional as I am able for a fat guy with a handlebar moustache.
I usually toss a shirt in the dryer in "touch up" mode or whatever it's called instead of ironing. I think last time I ironed was for a funeral.
I iron my handkerchiefs and mrs roonie's.
That's right. I own handkerchiefs. It can still be a thing.
I have everyday hankies and special, going out hankies! So there!
