I don’t like being cryptic at all, but “free speech” doesn’t always include discriminatory ones. And being flawed, I can’t stop my brain from generating those thoughts, so I just tried to be a slightly friendlier a*hole.
Otherwise I could have said: PhD, yeah of course, so many of them are so used to writing shitty code without peer reviews for so long, that totally checks out. And Indian…again. well, no wonder.
Yeah that’s a stereotype. Some many brilliant people and somehow the fuck ups (not the people but their fuck ups) generate all the attention. I didn’t think of that stereotype and was curious. But seriously blaming a (maybe even a fresh)PhD for being bad at coding is both fair and unfair but no peer review is not on them.
Putting aside the “should/shouldn’t do” argument, I was also wondering if the code is even viable. I imagine that ‘ls’ and ‘sudo’ are probably pretty ubiquitous, but I bet there exist some Linux installs out there with a different shell than ‘bash’, and some might not have ‘grep’ too. That would lead to some pretty cryptic bugs for the end user, eh?

geez I tried my best not to be stereotypical, but…I am a flawed human being and I searched for their linkedin profile, it suddenly all checks out
I don’t like cryptic message like this, especially if the repo seems to be gone

FYI, the Intel code used to be here (https://github.com/intel/thunderbolt-utils) but apparently was archived a week ago. So instead, the video creator posted the fork here: https://github.com/rxrbln/thunderbolt-utils
I don’t code, but is hardcoding sudo EVER a reasonable thing in C?
It’s not reasonable in any language
it is not

I believe POSIX mandates grep and a shell that should be able to handle everything this code uses, but sudo is a problem
That code is a crime against nature and humanity.
100%. Alpine is one such distro.
Iirc Void too.
Also, doas instead of sudo
I might be wrong, but I believe Debian ships without
sudo, onlysuby default (or at least if you configure a root password in the setup).You’re right ! And I really should get used to how debian works with
su.But with docker it’s very convenient to add an user in the docker groupe with sudo :/
I only know because installing
sudois usually the very first thing I do whenever I have to install it haha.Debian doesn’t come with
sudoand it’s always annoying running into stuff that has it hardcoded (or just added by default to a command)
