~robby / is on Nostr

@npub1sg4…xslc Semantically I am thinking of something like:
a | b | c 1| d 1| e 2| f
which would pipe the output of a into b, and the output of b into c, d, and e, and the output of c into f. This would intermix the output of d, e, and f into stdout because nothing is capturing their outputs.
A similar indexing could be used for redirection.
a | b | c 1| d 1| e 2| f 3> d.log 4> e.log
This would write the stdout of d and e to d.log and e.log respectively, and only the output of f would be displayed.
As for actual syntax to do this, I think the pipe-bracket syntax you use for selecting a fd to pipe would actually be perfect for this. I am having a hard time thinking of another syntax that I think would be a great fit for this feature.

@npub1sg4…xslc The only thing I can think of is something like the shell syntax for redirecting / piping a specific fd (stdout or stderr) for selecting the index of the program in the pipeline.
Maybe not worth it, just a thought :)

@npub1sg4…xslc Would you also be able to capture intermediary standard output streams? Something like tee but built into the shell?

@npub1gr8…c639 One of my coworkers has a name that is commonly misspelled so that made sure to ask if I spell my name with a y or an ie, since they really don't like when people misspell their name. After I told them I use a y, they soon after started using ie, which has now spread to *all* of my coworkers using ie, no matter how often I sign my emails with "Robby" e.e

@npub1w66…rc58 @npub1f3s…jzfc I would like to be without a mobile phone at all. My plan is to use a laptop with a cellular modem for my mobile computing needs, and https://jmp.chat/ for texting and calling.

@npub12h2…zru6 I might have some in my uploads folder! I'm not sure if there is a way I can dig around and specifically see your profile pictures though. I'll take a look later today :)
