In literature, genre has been known as an intangible taxonomy.

Geeks often enjoy aspects of pop culture, sometimes with an intellectual focus, alone or with friends. This can include things like board games, film (including favorite directors, composers, or key grips), tech gadgets, hacking, and techno music.

Nerds often enjoy aspects of "high culture" and intellectual pursuits, usually alone. Chess, classical music, go, and fine art are examples. Solitary pursuits, like programming and solo gaming, are also common.

If you want to write an awk script, which portable to any awk implementations and versions (gawk/nawk/mawk...) it is really hard, even if with --posix (gawk)

The function body can be any compound command, not just a group command ( {} ). Use a sub-shell: is_hello_world() ( shopt -s nocasematch [[ "$1" =~ "hello world" ]] )

foo () {...} just looks so natural, you never think that the braces aren't part of the function syntax, rather than the mostly commonly used compound command.

The reason it works when using one statement is that local swallows the return type of the right hand side (e.g. local foo=$(false) actually returns the zero status code); that's one of bash's many pitfalls.

I suppose it would be easy to make a pushshopt function like there is a pushd, and use bash arrays to remember previous option before setting them. Like pushshopt +extglob -nocasematch and popshopt

The other budgeting tool is the Spending Plan. Most of it flows out of transactions you’ve imported and categorized. This tool takes your income after bills, subscriptions, transfers, and savings are deducted, and subtracts planned spending, which can be one-time purchases or monthly expenses that fluctuate, like groceries and gas.

When you add to or withdraw from a goal you’ve created, the app doesn’t move funds between your accounts. You do that yourself. But the affected accounts’ balances will reflect the funds that are earmarked for a savings goal.

You can also see underlying transactions for each income and spending area. 

The app’s developers and early users found that people spend discretionary money differently each month, making it difficult to create a workable budget.

Some apps, such as Credit Karma and  Credit Sesame, suggest users open a new savings account that's affiliated with the app (but usually run by a bank) to help them put money toward savings. Simplifi doesn't offer any affiliated bank accounts, but it will do the bookkeeping for you if you want to set and contribute to savings goals. 

You can split transactions among multiple tags or categories and exclude them from reports and the Spending Plan.

I just wanted to clarify that Simplifi uses the "Appears on your statement as..." info to apply Payee Rules to downloaded transactions. This is the info that is provided by the bank, not the renaming logic that Simplifi uses. If you have a Payee Rule setup with certain keywords, Simplifi will look for those in the "Appears on your statement as..." info, and then apply the Payee Rule instead of using renaming logic.

Feature Comparison: Monarch Money vs. Simplifi​

Ability to mark transactions as reviewed

With the rising popularity of ebooks, it’s more important than ever that we have open hardware and software readers that work on our terms.

Limited rulesSimplifi only allows users to change merchant names and categories of transactions.

Edit: It's interesting I'm getting downvoted for expressing my opinion about this without attacking anyone or any product.

I agree with the majority of users, that Mint should have just started charging a modest fee. The Mint migration to CK is a train wreck. I can't wait to see the numbers on the backlash..... somebody is going to get fired.

Empower doesn't allow you to import legacy data from other sources (like Mint) or input manual transactions such as cash. The latter isn't important to me, but the former certainly is. I have 16 years of transaction data in Mint that I want to preserve.

The transaction does not show as two transactions on the transaction list post split. Instead, the transaction shows as split.

I found this strange too. I de-linked all the bills and subscriptions from the budget (spending plan) in Simplifi and added them to the planned expense section. After that, the budget is more Mint like for me.

I tried Simplifi a little bit more and I agree: their budgeting feature does not make sense to me. They separate bills and subscriptions from the spending plan, making it impossible to see every planned expense against my projected income. It also doesn’t offer an easy way to cover overspending by transferring available money from other categories.

It seems better now but I don't like how it you can't easily roll with the punches if you go over something. It's not as easy as taking from another category and applying the funds you can only increase the current category. So you don't really know how much you have to spend.

From what I looked, Simplifi does everything (but Forecast) Monarch does ( goals is even better) with a less pleasant layout, $29.

Simplifi's account connection is just faster. Simplifi provides real time updates every time you refresh, while Monarch's update rhythm is much slower and it's often unclear why some accounts are more updated than others.

Nested categories. If I click into a spending group on Simplifi, I can see the breakdown of all categories within that group. Somehow I cannot do this on Monarch. I can only view by group or category as a whole. There's no nesting.

Monarch Money recognizes that every couple has unique financial management styles. It offers users the flexibility to select which accounts and transactions should be included in the shared household overview, accommodating different preferences and needs.

Yes, Monarch Money allows couples to view accounts and transactions of each other. It allows the invitation of additional household members to join. Each member receives their own login while gaining visibility into the collective household finances.

While this simplicity is appealing to users who prefer an uncomplicated budgeting experience, it lacks the depth of customization provided by Monarch Money. Simplifi’s straightforward design is excellent for quick budget planning but may not satisfy those who need more nuanced financial management tools and a customized spending plan.

Monarch uses AI to clean your transactions, and gets smarter over time. If you want more control, you can use transaction rules to predictably update merchant names, categories, tags, notes, and more to keep everything organized.

The best place to keep sinking funds is often a high-yield savings account.

If you’re saving for several different expenses, it’s worth checking with your financial institution to see if they offer savings accounts with customized buckets. This way, you only have one account to keep track of, but you’re still using the sinking fund strategy to save for specific future expenses.

Prepare for those inevitable expenses. When you see those tires are wearing thin, start saving for new ones. If you know the house you just bought has an old roof, start saving for a new one. These aren’t emergencies yet, and if you start saving up now, they never will be!

There’s also an extra perk: If you use an out-of-network ATM, Ally doesn’t charge a fee. If the ATM provider does, Ally will reimburse those fees up to $10 per month.

So with that in mind, the best option for sinking funds tends to be a high-yield savings account

You can create a sinking fund for any financial goal or expense you have. These can be ongoing expenses that occur irregularly, like car insurance that you pay every six months or once a year, or a big one-time expense, like a wedding.

Predictable expenses that you pay monthly, like your utilities, should remain part of your monthly budget.

Then it automatically withdraws money you can safely save and deposits it in the Oportun account you specify—either the Oportun savings or retirement account. Funds from your Oportun accounts can be moved back to your linked account at any time.

ask about that transaction.

Honeydue is a financial app for couples. You may prefer Honeydue over Simplifi if you're looking for a free budgeting app that helps you see individual and shared expenses.

Another simple way is to set up automatic deposits from your checking account into your savings account. Set the deposits to occur on the same day each month (like the day after your paycheck hits the account). This way, you’ll be saving a fixed amount of money regularly without even giving yourself the chance to use it for something else.

You can’t split anything, so that charge at the gas station is all gas, even if you spent a little in the food mart.

In fact, fully anonymized data may carry little to no value to your business, which makes data collection and processing completely irrelevant.

Striking a balance between data anonymization and data utility is crucial yet very challenging.

When Undodog runs, he rides the Reset Rocket.

Furthermore, there is compelling evidence that obtaining consent can result in bias, which, in certain circumstances, can affect the outcome of the analysis. Introducing bias into data would not be in the interest of any of the stakeholders.

In this case, the DPA ruled that the anonymization of personal data can be used to meet the law’s data deletion requirement.

however, choose to anonymize additional personal information (last name, first name, and address) so the data could be used in ongoing analytics projects.

And, does the PI actually need to be completely deleted or can some or all of the PI be anonymized?

Ironically, data brokers need to collect additional info to verify your identity and ensure they’re deleting the right person’s data.

If you’ve got some technical savvy, the open-source tool Privacy Bot can send mass data deletion requests from your email address.

Other companies ignore requests, hide forms or require unreasonable proof of identity — one company in Consumer Reports’s data opt-out study asked a participant to submit a notarized affidavit, Mahoney said.

But according to the EFF’s Tsukayama, de-identified personal data is an oxymoron. She pointed to studies — like this one from researchers in Europe — that have found ways to re-identify large percentages of individuals in anonymized data sets.

Additionally, CCPA doesn’t require companies to delete personal data that has been aggregated or “de-identified.” That means if they combine your data with data from other people in a way that obscures which data comes from whom, they’re allowed to keep it.

Lo said the whole process felt like an exercise in futility.

Does submitting a request mean my data will get deleted?Nope. Deletion requests are subject to some broad exemptions. Some companies — like financial services — have to hold on to certain data for legal compliance and reporting. The CCPA also allows companies to keep your data if they’re using it for security, debugging or fraud protection, or “to enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with the expectations of the consumer based on the consumer’s relationship with the business.”

What if I don’t live in California?Only California residents have the right to data deletion under CCPA. (Why companies have the right to your data and you do not is another story. And here’s another. And another.)But some companies have said they’ll honor deletion requests no matter where you live. Spotify, Uber and Twitter said they treat deletion requests from any geographic location the same. Netflix, Microsoft, Starbucks and UPS have also said they’ll extend CCPA rights to all Americans.

The company will probably ask for you to send over additional information or set up an appointment to verify your identity — that’s so no one can pretend to be you and steal or delete your data. To verify, you may need to confirm your account username and password, provide a piece of data like your phone number for the company to cross-check, or, rarely, show your government-issued ID. You should never be required to set up an account to get your data deleted, according to CCPA.

The companies behind six of the 11 apps, including Southwest Airlines and Twitter, were not sharing how many requests they’d received and honored. Twitter said it plans to add the information.

People have to verify their identities before companies can delete data, which poses an extra obstacle.

or were left with no idea whether it worked

Nobody can see deleted accounts - not even developers. Deleted accounts are fully deleted. There's nothing to see basically by definition.

There is no active user with that ID, so you cannot search by it. The whole point of deleting an account is to make it inaccessible, unreferenced, and unlinked. We're not going to implement "soft" account deletion.

You cannot. And you're not supposed to. When an account is deleted, it is disassociated from all existing posts by design.

I am currently working with a system presently where every table has a Deleted flag for soft-delete. It is the bane of all existence. It totally breaks relational integrity when a user can "delete" a record from one table, yet children records which FK back to that table are not cascade soft-deleted. Really makes for trash data after time passes.

Don't worry about performance too early though - it's more important to get the design right, and "right" in this case means using the database the way a database is meant to be used, as a transactional system.

The only issue left to tackle is the performance issue. In many cases it actually turns out to be a non-issue because of the clustered index on AgreementStatus (AgreementId, EffectiveDate) - there's very little I/O seeking going on there. But if it is ever an issue, there are ways to solve that, using triggers, indexed/materialized views, application-level events, etc.

Udi Dahan wrote about this in Don't Delete - Just Don't. There is always some sort of task, transaction, activity, or (my preferred term) event which actually represents the "delete". It's OK if you subsequently want to denormalize into a "current state" table for performance, but do that after you've nailed down the transactional model, not before. In this case you have "users". Users are essentially customers. Customers have a business relationship with you. That relationship does not simply vanish into thin air because they canceled their account. What's really happening is:

Now you have something with all of the benefits of soft-deletes but none of the drawbacks:

The truth is that both of these approaches are wrong. Deleting is wrong. If you're actually asking this question then it means you're modelling the current state instead of the transactions. This is a bad, bad practice in database-land.

In any system even remotely tied to money, hard-deletion violates all sorts of accounting expectations, even if moved to an archive/tombstone table. The correct way to handle this is a retroactive event.

So, soft delete is better, right? No, not really: Setting up cascades becomes extremely difficult. You almost always end up with what appear to the client as orphaned rows. You only get to track one deletion. What if the row is deleted and undeleted multiple times? Read performance suffers, although this can be mitigated somewhat with partitioning, views, and/or filtered indexes. As hinted at earlier, it may actually be illegal in some scenarios/jurisdictions.

The industry’s first standard for handling user data deletion requests

This is the first technical standard of its kind for the digital advertising industry

Avoiding one-off, proprietary builds per partnership and policy, or just as bad, manual processes to reach out to partners for deletes, can save the industry real money and reduce room for error.

I find it ridiculous that we spend energy on debating whether an alternate spelling is "correct" - real people, not English professors and dictionary authorities, are the authorities on English-as-used, and will ultimately make the distinction irrelevant.

nowadays many people work with docker containers. Most default docker images do not have bash and something like [[ $string == *foo* ]] will not work.

It's not so much a criticism as the preference of a more universal solution over a more limited one.

Multiline scripts (we mostly target one-liners)

When you need to publish multiple packages and want to avoid your contributors having to open PRs on many separate repositories whenever they want to make a change.

when projects want to keep strict boundaries within their code and avoid becoming an entangled monolith. This is for example the case for Yarn itself, or many enterprise codebases.

This pattern is often called monorepo when used in conjunction with a repository.

Given that we historically didn't release many majors, some people have started to colloquially call "Yarn 2" everything using this new codebase, so Yarn 2.x and beyond (including 3.x). This is incorrect though ("Yarn 2" is really just 2.x), and a better term to refer to the new codebase would be Yarn 2+, or Yarn Berry (which is the codename I picked for the new codebase when I started working on it).

The purported reason seems to be the claim that some people find "master" offensive. (FWIW I'd give that explanation more credence if the people giving it seem to be offended themselves rather than be offended on behalf of someone else. But whatever, it's their repo.)

Also unclear why the answer is criticized for providing a "more general case" since the OP said "You are right, this [base64] was just used as an example, though.

target_utility

The lonesome cat isn’t useless.  UUOCs are typically characterized by having exactly one filename argument; this one has none.  It connects the input to the function (which is the input of the if statement) to the output of the if statement (which is the input to the base64 –decode statement)

Well, here’s a non-recursive solution in which the main commands appear only once:

resolved through use of recursion

(It seems reasonable to assume users are often expected to occasionally adapt answers rather than expect to use them verbatim.)

This answer is one of various possible solutions for a "Bash function that accepts input from parameter or pipe" since the OP indicated [in a comment] that base64 was not the actual problem domain. As such, it makes no attempt to assure input is able to be directly read from a file.

but in a different situation target_utility "${@}" could represent more complex code

Though the OP's issue may not present a problem ideally resolved through use of recursion, other reader's problems may benefit from using it, or, from considering use of an wrapper function:

Duplicating non-trivial code in both the if and in the else could create unnecessary issues.

If one had to deal with the drain of such critique for every answer, perhaps site usage would go down. People have lives to lead and the OP is apparently already happy. IMO, it is time to move on.

n the end, this site is about helping community. All the associated answers and comments are available for a visitor to peruse and consider. It is decidedly less valuable to the community when all answers are identical.

he value of what really seems to be nitpicking seems questionable even if there is also value in a judicious hunt for theoretical ideals.

The title of the question is what triggered the process of finding this Q/A for material that aided development of the above to solve a real life problem described by the title. The OP declared that base64 decode was not the "real" problem; pedantic constraint of answers to a particular "example" seems less helpful. When this question and its answers were key to helping solve real problems, alternate answers can be gifts to the community in recognition of the fact that many more people will use this Q/A to solve problems. Since the answer is on-topic per the title, I feel it is "game on".

The answer credits others while solving a problem that wasn't optimally solved by other (helpful) answers at the time. I shared to help others. It is up to a reader to select answers and review for appropriateness to their needs. This almost looks like an attack when all that was required was an alternative answer standing on its own merits or demerits.

You should never rely on the presence or contents of anything under the .git directory. That's git's territory, not yours or the build system's. Use it's plumbing commands to get access to the information you need, rather than trying to read files directly. Git provides no guarantee about the location or contents of any of those files as far as I'm aware.

Note that UTF-8 characters can be used in branch names:

>, ==> and -> are valid branch names

This is not specific to Git-- it's part of how POSIX shells process commands. When you don't have quotes (or a preceding backslash), $ign is interpreted as an empty shell variable, so git only sees 'pew'.

Regression in 3.13: custom matcher hash argument improperly converted to keyword args, results in ArgumentError

Its a bit tricky because of the ambiguity of how the args get presented. You can see through the little demo the args are presented the same way whether its a straight kwargs or a hash, but the assignment of the args to parameters is different. def foo(*args) puts args.inspect end def bar(x=1, a:2) puts "x:#{x} a:#{a}" end foo(:a => 1) # [{:a=>1}] foo({:a => 1}) # [{:a=>1}] bar(:a => 1). # x:1 a:1 bar({:a => 1}). # x:{:a => 1} a:2

“…” would be cool, but (unless I’ve missed something in Ruby 3.2+), it can only delegate all args, and foo(1, …) is impossible.

The main change with Ruby 3.0 is that it differentiates between passing a hash and passing keyword arguments to a method with variable or optional keyword parameters. So def my_method(**kwargs); end my_method(k: 1) # fine my_method({k: 1}) # crashes

my_func(1, 2, 'foo' => 1, :kw => true) # ArgumentError: unknown keyword: "foo" even though Hash.ruby2_keywords_hash?(args.last) returns true.
