Here's a #ShellScripting puzzle. Suppose you have a shell script run with the "-e" flag, i.e., it's supposed to exit immediately if a command exits with a non-zero exit status. But there's one particular command you want to capture the exit status of so you can check if it's a particular failure code and ignore it if so. What's the cleanest way to do that?
I ended up using
set +e
command-to-check
ret=$?
set -e
This seems gross. Is there a cleaner way?

@xabean @mjd Nobody’s claiming #Perl is a shell, only that #Bash has been pushed past its limits as a #scripting language.

@jamesbritt oh, neat! did you finish it or did it just become a gist? i've written, upon request, lots of section / pattern sequencer things, and also, this low-level one:
i've been so busy with EQ30 (a mutilated 4xEQ10 with Canvas) and Groovebox8120 updates that i haven't gotten around to also putting in BPM & LPB print but i really should stop just thinking about it and do it quickly since it takes zero effort, I've got all the pieces already. #renoise #paketti #lua #scripting
There should have been a Jr developer intern ( just #scripting work ) thing in 2000-2010 , was it there ?
How does being able to write SQL helps you in understanding database of any type
Have you ever needed to time your #powershell scripts and see what is slowing them down? Or even need to find out what is the fastest process between multiple options?
Here’s a few ways you can do that.
TIL that software (especially #scripting runtimes like #Python, #Perl, and #NodeJS) running in #Alpine #Linux containers is often slower than in other distros like #Ubuntu. This is despite Alpine being faster on startup and often vastly more efficient with CPU, memory, and storage.
It mostly comes down to Alpine’s use of musl libc rather than #GNU’s glibc. musl is optimized for minimalism, not raw performance. Also, the Alpine packages are often not compiled with as many optimizations.

I created an AquaShell script to quickly and easily run API requests on a HortusFox workspace instance. 
Here is the script:

Preparing scripts to bump KDE gear libraries/applications, this has been in my todo list for quite some time. For the KDE frameworks this already works fine.
First draft looking promising, now need to fine-tune/add what's missing.
So far already up to 178 packages. :)

Ich wollte mal schauen, wo bei mir in der Nähe Jellycat Stores sind (Jellycat stellt ganz süße Kuscheltiere her). Zum Glück gibt es auf deren Website ein Store-Finder, leider jedoch werden diese nur via Suche und Google Maps abgezeigt und sind nicht via Mausklick exportierbar.
Aber: Es gibt eine versteckte JSON-Datei mit den Standorten und die kann man dann zu eimer GPX-Datei umwandeln:
