I don’t know FORTRAN, but here’s a python version. :)

@Rinzwind 8086 assembly if you fancy that

it's long

well it is assembly :)

closer you cannot get to machine language

This is short:
perl -e 'print "Good ",qw(night morning afternoon evening)[(localtime)[2]/6]," all\n"'

Zanna

nice :)

PerlDuck

@Zanna Indeed. Unfortunately it isn't my invention.

Zanna

that's ok

EEEEK! @ThomasWard what is that symbol? I used to doodle that as a teenager and have always wondered if it was actually used anywhere, but I've never seen it drawn by anyone but me before.

another freaking gold badge? Site, you troll me. You troll me so hard.

@terdon hexagrams in general are used in various contexts, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagram#Usage_in_Dharmic_religions and the following sections

@Seth deepest sympathy, you certainly don’t deserve that

@PerlDuck nice! where did you find that?

ah, found the perl version: perlmonks.org/?node_id=883070

Seth

@dessert now more than just the site is trolling me :P

PerlDuck

@dessert Almost. I googled for "perl date morning evening ..." and was pointed to perlmonks.org/?node_id=981123. The actual question was different, but one of the PerlMonks (Utilitarian) has this snippet in his signature.

terdon

@dessert That's a different shape though. Still a hexagram, but different

PerlDuck

I'd like to write a (simple) app for Ubuntu which includes a README (or documentation in general). Does anybody know where to put the docs?

Zanna

/usr/share/man/man1/? Do I misunderstand you?

PerlDuck

No, it's not a manpage. It's just an HTML file. Or maybe *.txt.

Hmmm. Now that you mention it: maybe I should generate a manpage instead. The doc's source is Markdown, so manpage would be feasable.

Zanna

I think users would expect to look for documentation that way...

PerlDuck

LOL. Users like us, yes.

PerlDuck

18:40

I found it: it seems to be /usr/share/doc/$appname/html or similar. At least sth. below /usr/share/doc/$appname.

Q: Can't permanently assign additional IP addresses to USB ethernet adapter via /etc/network/interfaces. Why?

I want to assign multiple IP4 addresses to a USB->Ethernet adapter in an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS system. I have removed netplan, since I find the yaml-based configuration even more obscure than the traditional way of configuring the network. Since I want the extra addresses to be permanent, I put them ...

@PerlDuck A lot of packages place things into /usr/share/doc, for example /usr/share/doc/systemd/README.Debian.gz Other applications keep things in application's directory, like /usr/share/atom/resources/app/apm/node_modules/npm/node_modules/is-cidr/README.m‌d And then there's /var/lib/ispell/README
