unix.stackexchange.com/questions/520300/bash-script-help ok well the bot should also say why am I in trouble immediately after posting i mean assuming they are bots, but probably not. do you have bots that assess for formatting immediately and downvote oddballs instantaneously?

i need like a chad bot that demonstrates a well formatted question and decorates it with frat symbols n stupid stuff like that actually no don't make that i struggle taking reality seriously enough as it is

This is an interesting expansion of “regex”, and an oddly appropriate one in many cases:

Q: bash + regular excretion + capture java version

how to capture the jdk1.8.0_112 under /usr/jdk64 /usr/jdk64/jdk1.8.0_112/ while jdk1.8.0_112 is example and could be any other version as jdk1.7.0_112 jdk3.8.2_112 jdk1.8.0_117 jdk1.2.0_112 jdk2.7.66_112 jdk1.8.2_111 jdk1.23.0_117 jdk9.2.093_112

@StephenKitt I was wondering why you are learning Go. Is Java not working well for some kinds of work?

Stephen Kitt

11:46 AM

@Tim no, but I’m working on Kubernetes and OpenShift, and all that ecosystem uses Go

Faheem Mitha

@StephenKitt Rust seems increasingly popular, for some reason.

Stephen Kitt

@FaheemMitha Mozilla are pushing it a lot, but apart from that I’m not seeing it much — there’s Suricata and SŌZU too, and a bunch of libraries of course, but not a huge community (yet)

Glad someone changed the title from "regular excretion" to "regular expression".

Rui F Ribeiro

@JeffSchaller That user as a pattern of not so well thought out and not researched questions, that kind of error does not surprise me at all. But it is funny.

Tim

@StephenKitt Are you implementing or extending Kubernetes and OpenShift, or just using them?

Does just using them require to learn Go?

Stephen Kitt

@Tim extending them; using them doesn’t involve learning Go, thankfully.

Is there some JVM-based equivalence to Kubernetes and OpenShift, so you can utilize your Java skills?

YARN is similar to Kubernetes, but doesn't seem to work with containers?

Zookeeper is unrelated to the field of Kubernetes and OpenShift?

Are YARN and Zookeeper some outdated technologies?

Stephen Kitt

@Tim similar, yes, and yes, it doesn’t work with containers (or rather, “containers” in Hadoop YARN don’t mean the same thing as “containers” in Kubernetes and the general OCI world).

@Tim right; its Kubernetes equivalent is etcd, more or less.

@Tim no, but they never gained much traction outside the Hadoop world.

Tim

I am learning Hadoop (MapReduce, HDFS), but heard that it is outdated. I am not sure now. Shall I keep learning Hadoop or something else? My goal is to move to Spark (Scala or Python). I also feel HBase and Hive can be useful, but not sure if they are also outdated.

Zookeeper is on my todo list. Is it true that Zookeeper has grown out of Hadoop ecosystem? What is used more popular outside Hadoop?

more popular than Zookeeper

Stephen Kitt

1:03 PM

@Tim I don’t know how valuable Hadoop knowledge is nowadays; I suspect general “data scientist” knowledge is more valuable than implementation-specific knowledge.

There are a lot of key-value datastores, their popularity depends on the use-case...

Wow, another substantial bounty yesterday -- "only" 97% of their rep:

Q: cmake cannot find some libraries in GuixSD

I am trying to compile Xash3D on GuixSD v1.0.0 and gcc 8.3.0. In essence, ld cannot find crt1.o, crti.o, and libgcc_s.so, and it is quite possible that just like before, after linking or installing these 2 c objects and libgcc, cmake will halt with yet a further error regarding other other depen...

@StephenKitt There's talk of Mercurial using Rust. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Faheem Mitha

1:29 PM

@JeffSchaller I don't understand the point of this. Does it make a useful answer more likely?

Jeff Schaller

@FaheemMitha the point of me announcing it here in chat? Or bounties in general? Or a large bounty? Or a large-percentage bounty? I have so many questions

Faheem Mitha

@JeffSchaller A large bounty.

And a fortiori, a large-percentage bounty.

Jeff Schaller

@FaheemMitha for the people who like the reputation points, an accepted answer would be a windfall of points, so it hopefully attracts answerers and (useful) answers

Faheem Mitha

@JeffSchaller It's hard to imagine anyone caring that much.

Jeff Schaller

@FaheemMitha it's a pretty big part of Stack Exchange :)

Faheem Mitha

1:34 PM

I answer questions before I'm trying to be helpful and stuff. Pay it forward and all that.

Jeff Schaller

(the fake internet points)

Faheem Mitha

@JeffSchaller Hmm.

Jeff Schaller

@FaheemMitha 250 points jumps you nearly halfway up the privilege list

Faheem Mitha

Actually, in one case, someone did post a bounty on one of my questions. I've never posted a bounty myself.

And it did have a marked effect. I think the question was at 0. It suddently got a lot of upvotes, and a bunch of answers.

But it had been so long I no longer cared much about the question.

I think it was some C++ thing.

That's the trouble with all these hideous technologies. It's hard to care about them after a while. While you're working on it, you somehow do care. But I think it's a Stockholm Syndrome kind of thing.

Stephen Kitt

Way to go @JeffSchaller, I love the way you handled unix.stackexchange.com/q/520414/86440
