@JohanLarsson I don't think I'll have a problem. Its an LRU cache wrapper with the underlying implementation being a LinkedHashMap. But its one of those "you know, I'd just like to make sure I'm doing everything right" things.

screen -ls can get you a list of the sessions. Why not try parsing that list or parsing the output of ps? Once you have the sessions, it seems like a straightforward for i in If you make an attempt at writing the script and come back with problems, you are more likely to get help. From a previous meta SO post: "The first thing to understand is that Stack Overflow, and especially Programmers.SE are not code writing services. You don't just throw some a question in there with something of the form "give me the codez" into the text area and hope that someone will answer the question" — ssnobody 50 secs ago

@Duga nice false positive there.

@RobertHarvey I believe it was put on hold because expectations were mismanaged by my boss which led to customer frustration. — BAR 6 mins ago

Same as his question.

@MichaelT Not a false positive. Question is closable.

Duga identifies closable questions with like 95% accuracy.

@RobertHarvey what I meant was "that was not someone suggesting a migration and actually saying nope don't go there at all for this question"

user55340

Depends on if the 'positive' is the 'this post needs action' or 'this post is someone suggesting a migration to P.SE that needs action' - I was using the second positive in which case it was false. You're working from the first, which isn't a false positive.

(I do like how they're using the short scale rather than the long scale... its 1.85B rather than 1850 thousand million)

user55340

Long and short scales

The long and short scales are two of several large-number naming systems for integer powers of ten, that use the same words with different meanings: Long scale: Every new term greater than million is one million times larger than the previous term. Thus, billion means a million millions (1012), trillion means a million billions (1018), and so on. Short scale: Every new term greater than million is one thousand times larger than the previous term. Thus, billion means a thousand millions (109), trillion means a thousand billions (1012), and so on. For integers less than a thousand million (< 109...

@MichaelT yeah, just a lame joke by me.

@Jimmy would you call immutability & purity patterns? I would.

You are absolutely right and because regular expressions are mostly used by programmers, I think StackOverflow is the right place to ask this question. Hopefully, the community will contribute to my post. — nowox just now

This question would be better asked on Programmers. StackOverflow is for more concrete, code-related questions. — sashoalm 16 secs ago

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it belongs to programmers.stackexchange.com — Anony-Mousse 12 secs ago
