@aliss@outerheaven.club @helene@p.helene.moe yes, you could
I do still think my plain "debian" grep is better fwiw
"robustness" is fake news

@helene@p.helene.moe @aliss@outerheaven.club shell-dependent, not generally a good idea unless you're targetting a specific one

@aliss@outerheaven.club pro tip try
"$pattern"debian

I'm really thankful for all my friends being here ?

@solidsanek I'm not asleep ?

@aliss@outerheaven.club it's just basic caching stuff tbh

@aliss@outerheaven.club it may be shorter, but is it more concise and readable? ?♀️

im already there in my mind

@solidsanek@outerheaven.club separating the platforms by whether they're depressed or schizo

@aliss@outerheaven.club it depends tm tbh

@aliss@outerheaven.club basically "don't worry about performance in cases like this"

@aliss@outerheaven.club the short version is
if the file you're reading is under 4kb, reading it many times over is "free", especially if you're doing it with the same utility

@aliss@outerheaven.club older everything
can't take advantage of newer glibc stuff, or newer coreutils optimizations, or stuff like readfile, etc

@aliss@outerheaven.club I've been a distrodev ptsd voice

@aliss@outerheaven.club it's not super relevant because it's small N and the files in question will get cached tbh

@aliss@outerheaven.club enjoy and have fun :nko_3c:

@aliss@outerheaven.club no, actually

@aliss@outerheaven.club you can skip the *s in 2, and also the quotes all over (because you control the input)

@Johann150@genau.qwertqwefsday.eu I'm down for lua :nko_3c:

@helene@p.helene.moe @Johann150@genau.qwertqwefsday.eu it'd probably be in deno tbqh
