The more #sh scripting I do, the more I love it and wondering why I didn't learn it earlier. So for #wakegp now I have done this to have 256 runs for different values of deletion_mutation_rate and deletions_per_mutation:
➜ runs5 git:(main) for i in {0..255}; do
for> for size in nanod minid microd halfd thirdd majord; do
for for> for r in 1 2 4 8 16; do
for for for> w_run p4_"$size"_"$r" $i;
for for for> done
for for> done
for> done
w_run itself is a function I defined in my .zshrc
But of course, the syntax is hard. And it's not as easy to learn as something like Python. I wonder if #unixlike operating systems such as #Linux and #BSD would consider quitting the current sh in favor of something new designed from scratch.
Last time I remember, in the list of projects #NLnet had founded, there was a niche new shell invented for unix like systems. I'm gonna check it out. Also #OpenBSD people have something for themselves.
Edit: I had forgotten to add echo -n "$i "; date +%T

Do you know a utility tool for #archlinux with which I can review packages and remove the ones I haven't used in ages?
A #reboot is a solution to many tech problems. But if you are on #Linux, did you know you need to reboot only if your kernel has changed? Otherwise you can do a "soft reboot" and get the same thing. You need to kill the init process and make it respawn. It varies from distro to distro but on #systemd ones, you can do systemctl soft-reboot and it'll do the job for you.
Also if you have problem with your graphical shell, you can simply restart your graphical stuff. Not even a soft reboot is needed. For instance if your display manager is lightdm like me, simply do systemctl restart lightdm.
I think this applies to other #unixlike operating systems with the similar kernel and system architecture as Linux. Maybe #BSD people can share their experience?

Scheduling #wakegp experiments with #sh so tomorrow I have experiments done and I can just do T tests in R.
Edit: I'm testing different #FFT sizes. If you are interested, see my current status here:

Edit2: So it's morning and I realized I had to do f1 $i $j_800...

What #unixlike operating systems do you know which are easy to port? Something like #NetBSD. I wonder if there is anything written in #commonlisp or #rust
There are some options but I'm not sure how much easy are they to port. I've heard many positive comments about bare metal development using Rust. I wonder how is common lisp in this regard.
I have extensive programming experience but not on bare metal or kernel programming.
Boosts for wider participation in the discussion are welcome.
