FOREWORD
I prefer to create documents in formats such as LaTeX, Markdown or RMarkdown. They're platform and version (of the particular editor) independent. You can export them to good looking PDF that is (I think) de facto standard for the CV.
Unfortunately some recruiters force to "provide the...
@FaheemMitha If I sit down to try to learn Python, I have a whole bunch of passwords and PIN-numbers that I'm assuming I will forget in the process :-) My head is full and I have no desire to learn more stuff I'm not going to use.
@PrabhjotSingh If you want to learn LaTeX just use it. Start with a very simple document. You can find tutorials on the web. Do you use Emacs? Because AUCTeX makes things easier.
@FaheemMitha I am not. I wrote a lot in LaTeX 25 years ago. I even wrote a 100 page tutorial that was in use in my old department for over a decade. I've forgotten everything now.
Speaking of Faheem. Is it just me or does his name look italicized in the left hand column? Everyone else's name seems normal font but then it's Faheem Mitha
I was in a room and one of the characters there whose name was in italics, didn't like the discussion another was engaged in.
The person whose name was in italics, then wrote some incorrect information (probably trolling saying something blatantly wrong)

>The expression whip in its parliamentary context has its origins in hunting terminology. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the term whipper-in as, "a huntsman's assistant who keeps the hounds from straying by driving them back with the whip into the main body of the pack".
>According to that dictionary, the first recorded use of the term whipper-in in the parliamentary sense occurs in 1772. However, P. D. G. Thomas in House of Commons in the Eighteenth Century cites two examples of the use of the term that pre-date 1772."
Monsieur Odus is my name when I try sudo commands.
@Jesse_b Monsieur odus is getting:
To diagnose the problem, try running: 'rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest'. You probably have corrupted RPMDB, running 'rpm --rebuilddb' might fix the issue. The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction. You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.
Is there a way to check which profile I'm running in terminal (Mac)? If I'm running "basic" I want to run a script to change my atom theme to be light, if I'm running "homebrew" I want to change my atom theme to be dark. Any ideas?
By "profile", I mean the color of the window. Basic is a white background with black text, homebrew is a black background with green text.
At the time I didn't find any of the answers in the following question understandable or didactic. Therefore I've yet to mark any as correct/most helpful. I feel I didn't find an answer for Are if-fi segments necessary when iterating on a pushd-popd directory list there. If someone wants to add (or maybe improve) an answer, this by itself could be helpful. Thank you for your time anyway:
I use the following code which is part of this script that I use to update my WordPress websites:
#!/bin/bash
drt="/var/www/html"
for dir in ${drt}/*/; do
if pushd "$dir"; then
wp plugin update --all --allow-root
wp core update --allow-root
wp language core update --a...
But I loop only on a directory that does indeed exist and that does indeed have the permissions to be changed (my aim is to update the entire dir trees I run on).
But I understand the point of defensive programming (especially in delicate environments like operating systems and when working from shell after I destroyed my own environment in the past).
@user9303970 Well, if there is no reason to believe that the directory would vanish between the evaluation of the for loop's first line and when you need to go into it, the if statement may be removed.
I see your point, I agree it's generally best, especially in a case like this where it doesn't add much.
I think you actually answered my question with:
1. This explanation that this is not obligatory and that it's defensive.
2. Mentioning that `if there is no reason to believe that the directory would vanish between the evaluation of the for loop's first line and when you need to go into it, the if statement may be removed`.
3. With the example to a non defensive alternative.
@PrabhjotSingh I see it and have been accused of it. I think many people read too much into text based forms of communication and there is no way of knowing the writers inflection or intent from reading it
I also think people on here are very blunt and to the point and many people see that as rudeness
