Is 1312 the new cool number? I thought we were still at 67?

1312 has been the cool number for as long as it has stood for ACAB.

not waiting for 13.37?

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 11 points 7 months ago* (23 children)

Am I the only one that is annoyed with version numbering in which 13.12 comes after 13.4?

It creates a numerically out of order version increment that bothers me to a degree that it shouldn't.

13.04 and 13.12 would really make much more sense. If you need more than 100 versions, well, you probably should have hit a major release cycle or started with %03d format next time and just pad out x.99... until you go to x+1.

[–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 11 points 7 months ago (1 child)

Version "numbers" are actually period seprated lists of integers.

Equally valid could be (13(12(0))).

All i ask, as a humble admin please dont make breaking changes in the minor or patch colums.

Nah. It's not meant to be decimal points. It's separation between numbers

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 24 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (15 children)

%YYYY.MM format is a separation between numbers. But still increments in a numerically ordered way. I'm not saying I don't understand version numbers. I'm saying padding zeros makes it easier to read.

It doesn't really matter with a release cycle that has less than 10 version increments. Which is fine if you're only ever gonna hit 13.9 in very rare cases.

But if you constantly have x.yy version numbers. You should probably start with some zero padding. All I'm saying.

Is ugly and annoys me.

Have you seen formats that use unpadded seconds, minutes and hours? 11:4:7 is just beautiful time formatting 🥹 /s

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago (12 children)

But they're integers not strings, so are sorted differently...

I'm sorry if your head treats them as strings but that's like, a you problem, man...

Welcome to the thread. It's something that annoys me in which I asked if it annoyed anyone else. I'm not sure why you're trying to explain away my annoyance with information I already know.

Also, filenames are quite literally strings. That's how the image binaries will be sorted. As filenames.

release_1.1.bin
release_1.10.bin
release_1.2.bin

And yes I'm aware of sort -V. I can still have an OCD annoyance with it. I swear to God if someone replies again telling me why I shouldn't be annoyed.

At this point I'm more annoyed with replies than I was version numbers.

ls | sort -V now that I've cursed you.

But I'm running out of mental storage space for bash commands. I wish I could clear some space.

Make a bash alias once, get the correct behavior forever.

parent

hideshow 4 child comments

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 1 point 7 months ago (3 children)

What's worse is making a bunch of bash aliases that are easier to remember and then you hit an environment you can't use your bashrc in for whatever reason. Then you have no idea how to actually do anything.

I try to only use aliases for things that I repeat often but are only going to be used in my specific environment.

Unless you mean

alias ls="ls | sort -V"

Which would be really awful to do for obvious reasons.

[–] everett@lemmy.ml 1 point 7 months ago* (2 children)

That example is indeed what I meant. What's awful about it?

edit: I use a customized ls alias. Most of the time it's fine, and when I occasionally need the default output, I can type /bin/ls, no new alias to memorize. The history command suggests I do this pretty infrequently, though ymmv.

parent

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago (1 child)

ls doesn't have the version sort option so since you're aliasing a piped command to sort you'd be passing any additional commands to sort

So

ls -r

Would actually be

/bin/ls | /bin/sort -V -r

You could overcome this with xargs but it's just definitely a bad idea in general to alias a standard command piped into another command. Will cause headaches.

Where as something like

ls="/bin/ls -r"

Just defaults ls to a reverse sort and you can still safely add additional args.

Thank for explaining, I hadn't really thought about trying to add additional flags at runtime.

By the way, my ls actually has it:

       -v     natural sort of (version) numbers within text

i get that and it was my initial reaction too, but doing it differently would force a major update after versipn x.9 which makes no sense either
