» Bugs!?

Since i start in development i have had a question in mind, why the f*ck program errors are called Bugs? It seems that it’s for a whimsical reason as it’s said on How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python:

For whimsical reasons, programming errors are called bugs…

But the question finally has been answered!!! The firsts computer errors, given the size of the firsts computers, where caused by real Bugs interfering on the circuits and make the computers do unexpected operations.

» My commands top 10

As the meme goes on Planet Ubuntu, here are my most used commands:

On Buster (my new laptop):

[buster:~] nxvl$ history|awk ‘{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] ” ” i}}’|sort -rn|head
64 cd
58 ls
42 sudo
33 buscar
33 bajar
30 clear
21 nohup
20 bzr
14 irc_amctl
13 iwconfig

It only says it’s new and i have installed a lot of packages, in a month i need to update this list.

At LaFume (work):

[LaFume:~] nxvl$ history|awk ‘{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] ” ” i}}’|sort -rn|head
89 cd
86 ls
53 sudo
32 oowriter
30 vi
28 clear
15 history
12 ping
10 ssh
9 nohup

Some aliases you see there:
alias bajar=’sudo apt-get install’
alias buscar=’apt-cache search’
alias irc_amctl=’ssh XX.XX.XX.XX -l YYYYYYY’

And yes, if you have already notice it i pick my hostnames from here.
