@jesse_b It's still Seagal.

Segal means Legal, or Links does not mean en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser), I do say. Please do not tell me Lynx means something else, and someone better not start teling me that renaming systemd was bright, it's enough you're all making me question what "Lynx" meant. =/ What litany am I relying on if these kinetic nomenclatures be like broken pipes which do not regulate their spelling, what world has UNIX created if bash.org is Sense of Style, this broken UNIX English.

Q: How do you continue execution after using trap EXIT in bash?

Yzmir RamirezEnvironment: GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin20) I'm attempting to trap the exit from another function but then continue executing the program. In an object oriented language you could catch an exception and then continue execution without re-throwin; that is essentially ...

"I'm attempting to trap the exit from another function but then continue executing the program. In an object oriented language you could catch an exception ..."
doing exceptions and OO in Bash, oh dear oh dear
 
if you can parse a CSV with bash, you can make it object-oriented
 
@JeffSchaller this is old, but seeing it in the stars makes me want to say that if you do the kids thing properly, they'll want to do math voluntarily. :P
@JeffSchaller The unix.SE variant of a Turing Tarpit is the Bash Tarpit...
 
@ilkkachu it's mainly a result of me working with 1.5 of my kids on their math homework; I'm happy they're both relatively good at it
 
yep
(I don't think I dare ask about the 0.5 there)
 
then I won't say :)

He said the kids are good at math not himself

I still do not get why "SWAPPINESS" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging#Swappiness) is a range from 0-200 and not 100, and further, why it's not a default en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_(computer_science) GUI button yet. =/ (Dare I ask why I even need to change swap just to run Google Chrome Stable with 100 tabs open, when I have 10GB ram and nothing else open? I should tell Alexa to tell Chrome to swap itself. What's Chrome doing to my memory? Why do I even know what swap is.)
