Please, I don't wanna hear "oops I guess you're right and that was wrong, ChatGPT must have inserted an error when it generated this statement for me" anymore

Accountability is critical in human relationships, it should be critical in our "AI" relationships too, and definitely you can't pass the buck to "well haha we don't consider that thing accountable and I used it"

I'm going to have to write a "Unix is not POSIX" techblog article, aren't I. And it's all because of GNU Grep (3.8+).

Hey linguists: you know how stage directions, IRC, and text messages have special markers for descriptions of actions, to set them aside from normal dialogue? Like:

runs and hides

What's the word for that? And what even is that kind of thing? Obviously it has distinct typographical and syntactic structure, but it's also sort of a... Case? Mood?

EDIT: I am too tired :-p

WTF grep?

$ cat mwe   
needle  
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa  
$ grep -q needle mwe && grep -qv needle mwe && echo true  
true  

How does a file match both needle and the inversion of needle?!

TIL, the German #Datev uses #IBM #zOS for paycheck #PDF generation. PDFs are generated through PDFlib by the Munich based company of the same name:

PDF producer: PDFlib+PDI 9.0.4-m (zSeries z/OS)

The API ref is promising some fun:
"For use with C, C++, Cobol, COM, Java, .NET, Objective-C, Perl, PHP, Python, REALbasic/Xojo, RPG, Ruby"
(https://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pdf/manuals/PDFlib-9.0.4-API-reference.pdf)

As well as:
"PDFlib is available on a variety of platforms, including Unix,
Windows, OS X, and EBCDIC-based systems such as IBM i5/iSeries and zSeries."
(https://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pdf/manuals/PDFlib-9.0.4-tutorial.pdf)

And since IBM #zSeries does everything in #EBCDIC, this, of course is also supported:

"stringformat ebcdicutf8: All strings and option lists are expected in EBCDIC-UTF-8 format with or without BOM."

And although I do hope that Datev uses Unix System Services #USS instead of plain #MVS on z/OS, this does give me the creeps:

"MVS versions of PDFlib GmbH products are not thread-safe"
(https://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/System_Requirements/PDFlib-9.0.4-system-requirements.txt)

Truly curséd. But PDFlib on zSeries doesn't support networking ... unfortunately?

Do you have a file full of arcane #shell #commands?

Well, I do. And I'm sharing it here on my #blog, including commentary:

I hope you find the commands as useful as I do!

Wenn man eine Mitfahrer*innenfreifahrt bei der #DB bucht gilt angeblich nur der Ausdruck, die #DBNavigator App weigert sich, dass QR Ticket anzuzeigen.

Der QR Code kann aber einwandfrei vom Display des PDF gescannt werden, es gibt nicht einmal eine Rückfrage des Personals.
