That quote was in the context of simply separating values with newlines (and the list also included “your language’s split or lines function”).

Technically you don’t even need awk/sed/fzf, just a loop in bash doing read would allow you to parse the input one line at a time.

while read line; do 
   echo $line # or whatever other operation
done < whateverfile

Also, those manpages are a lot less complex than the documentation for C# or Nushell (or bash itself), although maybe working with C#/nushell/bash is “easy when you’re already intuitively familiar with them”. I think the point was precisely the fact that doing that is easy in many different contexts because it’s a relatively simple way to separate values.

For the record, you mention “the limitations of the number of inodes in Unix-like systems”, but this is not a limit in Unix, but a limit in filesystem formats (which also extends to Windows and other systems).

So it depends more on what the filesystem is rather than the OS. A FAT32 partition can only hold 65,535 files (2^16), but both ext4 and NTFS can have up to 4,294,967,295 (2^32). If using Btrfs then it jumps to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 (2^64).

Yes… “metadata” is becoming an overused term. Not all data is metadata.

My first thought when I read the title was about those .nfo files used by Kodi/Jellyfin and other media centers to keep information relative to the media files.

Ironically, I think it’s the younger ones the ones pushing for discord the most. Some projects opened a discord because it actually made it more attractive to young people.

The question is how to make an open source alternative more attractive.

If the original footage is so bad that “nonsense that people assume is part of the actual show” “could plausibly be there”, then the problem is not with the AI… it wouldn’t be the first time I’m confused by the artifacts in a low quality video.
