    1. For much of this poem's history, readers viewed Ulysses as resolute and heroic, admiring him for his determination "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield".[1] The view that Tennyson intended a heroic character is supported by his statements about the poem, and by the events in his life—the death of his closest friend—that prompted him to write it. In the twentieth century, some new interpretations of "Ulysses" highlighted potential ironies in the poem. They argued, for example, that Ulysses wishes to selfishly abandon his kingdom and family, and they questioned more positive assessments of Ulysses' character by demonstrating how he resembles flawed protagonists in earlier literature.

      Is Ulysses a heroic poem? Or, is it selfishness?

    1. Always use a while read construct: find . -name "*.txt" -print0 | while read -d $'\0' file do …code using "$file" done The loop will execute while the find command is executing. Plus, this command will work even if a file name is returned with whitespace in it. And, you won't overflow your command line buffer.

      What mechanisms does the production of visual art involve?

    1. Yeshiva teaching in the modern period famously relied on memorization of the most important texts, but a few medieval Hebrew manu-scripts from the twelfth or thirteenth centuries include examples of alphabetical lists of words with the biblical phrases in which they occurred, but without pre-cise locations in the Bible—presumably because the learned would know them.

      Prior to concordances of the Christian Bible there are examples of Hebrew manuscripts in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries that have lists of words and sentences or phrases in which they occurred. They didn't include exact locations with the presumption being that most scholars would know the texts well enough to quickly find them based on the phrases used.


      Early concordances were later made unnecessary as tools as digital search could dramatically decrease the load. However these tools might miss the value found in the serendipity of searching through broad word lists.

      Has anyone made a concordance search and display tool to automatically generate concordances of any particular texts? Do professional indexers use these? What might be the implications of overlapping concordances of seminal texts within the corpus linguistics space?

      Fun tools like the Bible Munger now exist to play around with find and replace functionality. https://biblemunger.micahrl.com/munge

      Online tools also have multi-translation versions that will show translational differences between the seemingly ever-growing number of English translations of the Bible.

    1. And it’s easier to share a personal story when you’re composing it 280 characters at a time and publishing it as you go, without thinking about or knowing where the end may be. It’s at least easier than staring down a blank text editor with no limit and having to decide later how much of a 2,500 word rant is worth sharing, anyway.

      Ideas fill their spaces.

      When writing it can be daunting to see a long blank screen and feel like you've got to fill it up with ideas de novo.

      From the other perspective if you're starting with a smaller space like a Twitter input box or index card you may find that you write too much and require the ability to edit things down to fit the sparse space.


      I do quite like the small space provided by Hypothes.is which has the ability to expand and scroll as you write so that it has the Goldilocks feel of not too small, not too big, but "just right".


      Micro.blog has a feature that starts with a box that can grow with the content. Once going past 280 characters it also adds an optional input box to give the post a title if one wants it to be an article rather than a simple note.

    1. Actually, I ended up uninstalling Chrome and installing a chromium deb. Since no chromium deb exists in Ubuntu or Pop OS repositories anymore, I followed the instructions from https://askubuntu.com/questions/1204571/how-to-install-chromium-without-snap to add the Debian stable repo and install Chromium from there instead.

    1. The question is similar but its in a Rails context. The solutions would answer my question, but I'm almost certain that he could probably leverage Arel to solve his problem. The question I posted was designed purely as a Ruby question so that it was easier to search for. You might want to suggest an edit of the title of his question because it didn't show up when I searched for a solution to my problem.

    1. I had never considered it that in nearly a decade of using GNU find! Thank you for that! It will definitely change the way I think about -prune from now on.
    2. I think this structure is much easier and correlates to the right approach
    3. it isn't actually -prune itself that causes this, by the way. The issue is that the or operator "short-circuits", and or has lower precedence than and. The end result is that if a file called .snapshot is encountered it will match the first -name, -prune will then do nothing (but return true), and then the or returns true since its left-argument was true. The action (eg: -print) is part of its second argument, so it never has a chance to execute.
    4. If all you want to do is print the results you might be used to leaving out the -print action. You generally don't want to do that when using -prune.
    5. which means that it'll also print out the name of the directory you're pruning, which usually isn't what you want. Instead it's better to explicitly specify the -print action if that's what you want
    6. The thing I'd found confusing about -prune is that it's an action (like -print), not a test (like -name). It alters the "to-do" list, but always returns true.
    1. Did you expect the temp directory to get printed? In the last example, we saw the directories ./temp and ./C/temp got printed, but not now. This is the effect of the -print option. By default, the find command prints all the files matching the criteria. However, once the -print option is specified, it will print files only on explicit print instructions. In this find command, -print is associated in the other side of the OR condition, and hence nothing will get printed from the 1st part of the condition.
    2. 12. Same using the wholename option and prune to exclude directory: $ find . -wholename "./temp" -prune -o -perm 644 -print ./area.pm ./C/temp ./C/f2.c find has a switch with the name 'wholename'. Say, in your directory tree, there might be more than one temp directory. The earlier approaches will prune all the temp dierctories. In case, if the requirement is to prune a specific temp directory, then you can give the path of the directory itself. Note: The path specified in the wholename option should be relative to the search path specified, not the absolute path.

    1. Using find and cpio is a more unix-y approach in that you let find do the file selection with all the power that it has, and let cpio do the archiving. It is worth learning this simple use of cpio, as you find it easy to solve problems you bang your ahead against when trying tar.
    2. find

    1. o leaving a a longer a trade history on there would be useful is what attracts.
    2. awesome. Maybe like 100 trades back or something because I've run into that same issue on some of the other sites. Even the exchanges themselves, despite being bittrex being such a shitty place to trade, they actually do a good job of leaving, you know, 10 pages of 10 trades each or something on there for you to look. Which is nice because I do find a lot of people or an algorithm will place a really big sell order and an immediate buy right after, at the previous limit. Um, say a sell order for 100 coins and then a one person, one percent of one coin. Or point 01 at the buy order back. So it gets hidden and the candles may show up green. But if you're not looking at the order book, you're going to miss that.
    3. Um, the one thing I did want to see some more of is like under your portfolio, uh, when you're going through the, you know, the rebalancing, the correlation and the optimization, um, would just be some more information about, okay, here's how we did, um, are efficient frontier. Like here's the calculation we used. I know it's one basic calculation, but there are different parameters that people can use in them based on the risk above. So just having more general research on there, just saying, or maybe a link to another page that explains like, here's the calculations that we're using. Here's the portfolio theory, with the correlation index, you know, so setting that up, just showing people some math behind it.
    4. but the order book and the trade history are really important to me.
    5. e benefit. Like I don't have any benefit in blocfolio, like sharing my position size and i know what my position size is, i look at it 10 times a day. I don't see any need for me to put it into blocfolio. I'm mostly concerned with just price data.
