I once used xargs because my arguments were in a NUL terminated list. Didn’t know about the argument size limit before.

Great video! I feel like I learned a lot in just 8 minutes. I had a question but I ran a quick experiment isntead and indeed you can use the xargs token multiple times inside the commad. eg: ls file* | xargs -I{} cp {} copy_of_{}

Another feature I like about xargs is the -P/--max-procs flag, which specifying the max number of process that could be spawned to run the command you need, allowing for a bit of concurrency (since, by default, xargs only spawns 1). I found it particularly useful for then times when I needed to run a long-running command on the each of inputs I feed to xargs, but I didn't have the time to wait for the command to reach to completion one-by-one. Being able to specify the max is also nice too. Prior to this I just for-loop'd everything to spawn a single subshell for each argument I needed a command run on. Turns out you can't do much on your sys when there's an arbitrarily large number of processes vying for your poor processor's attention :d Anyways, I love your vids! (I particularly enjoy the tone and aesthetic.) Please keep up the great work!

Great stuff, never knew what xargs was and I had a binary that needed the arguments to be appended after the program.

I'd say always clear your terminal when you see yourself typing at the bottom of it, because KZbin's video controls get in the way. I, otherwise, inject this CSS: .ytp-gradient-bottom, .ytp-chrome-bottom { display: none; }

@@FunctionalIndustries Good luck. few notes and random ideas: - try to say more in less time with a minimal introduction. (I'd say you took more time than you should explaining pipes/stdin/sdtout;) - don't compete with man pages. try to find the most interesting use case for what ever you are showing. (how you one-lined this 12 line script that uses multiple coreutils with good old xargs or something.) - Don't shy away from including real life examples. You'll eventually have comments that say they were just looking for how to "ls | dmenu | xargs mpv". (mpv -- playlist=- is better, though) - always assume some knowledge on your audience's part. That way, you don't bore more experienced users, while challenging less experienced ones (that's the sweet spot in my opinion); - separate rice for video content? the color palette is a bit muddy and the transparency, IMO, is too much. I think a clear distinction between what is a prompt and what is a command would go a long way. Look up zsh fast-syntax-highlighting plugin (if you use zsh). I think that would introduce some visual hierarchy. A video suggestion: I would love someone to spoonfeed me how to maintain an AUR package.

@@FunctionalIndustries also, if you are using something unorthodox or interesting, like exa instead of ls, make sure to display it, people will ask you why is your ls -la output so arousing. all in all, give as much value as you possibly can.

You are not using about 70% of your recorded space. Try to make the fonts bigger for better readability on mobile devices. Also, pretty and transparent prompts are awesome on personal machine, but terrible for being able to read during a video.

constructive criticism: you need to be at the top of the screen and to clear the screen regularly by being at the bottom you cannot use the video control because their at the bottom and it blocks what your typing so i cannot freeze what your doing and read it.
