13:45 <Maja_> isabella: i'm a few days late to the party because my quassel shat the bed, but this is absolutely wonderful

13:48 <isabella> Glad you liked it lol

13:56 <Maja_> isabella: hm, can you actually call a function called function without special characters, though?

13:57 <isabella> You need to quote the word function

13:57 <isabella> "f"unction

13:57 <isabella> funct\ion

13:57 <isabella> function''

13:58 <isabella> Or you need to find a way to make it not a keyword

13:58 <isabella> Like a=b function

13:59 <isabella> I'm not sure if it's doable without special characters

14:16 <Maja_> ooooh https://github.com/akinomyoga/ble.sh

14:44 <Maja_> in other news I've discovered oil shell

14:44 <Maja_> they claim to have a dialect compatible with bash et al

14:46 <Maja_> it's... pretty compatible

14:46 <Maja_> runs my impl of AES and x25519 correctly

14:47 <Maja_> but sha2 breaks with unexplained wrong outputs

15:21 <regis> Seems like a proper crowd to ask so please excuse off-topic question. On scale 1-10, how cheesy would be UNIX-y fork bomb tattoo? It's been popping in my mind for years now, recently I visualized it using IBM EGA 8x14 font and now I want it even more... https://sysartist.com/tmp/ce28a8da248ab5d0864cac32585e27dc660f347d2fe37811bb8828ca0c7bc5be.png

15:45 <Maja_> (the underlying issue: https://github.com/oils-for-unix/oils/issues/2072)

15:46 <Maja_> regis: can't speak of the taste issue, but as written this won't run, iirc you need a space after the { and &

15:47 <Maja_> definitely would be cheesy if you ended up making such a mistake ;3

15:48 <Maja_> ah, only the one after { is mandatory, but you might as well go for symmetry

15:48 <Maja_> shout out to tio.run for being the easiest sandbox to use for testing this https://tio.run/##S0oszvj/30pDs9qqxkqt1trq/38A

15:59 <regis> Maja_: Thanks. ZSH on FreeBSD works with no spaces but /bin/sh (non-GNU, not-bash stuff) indeed requires a space after "{"!

16:04 <regis> /bin/sh actually doesn't even allow me to overwrite built-in ":" function

16:06 <regis> but I can `alias :=false;:;echo $?` and get 1, lol

16:26 <Maja_> gah, those fuckers are trying to nerdsnipe me

17:03 <Maja_> hm, actually, why does read -u $fd exist when you can do read <&$fd

17:03 <Maja_> probably the latter didn't exist when they introduced it
