Só porque eu queria sair hoje... 😢
As férias de janeiro são mais longas mas é sempre essa bosta de não conseguir aproveitar por serem ou dias infernalmente quentes ou dias com dilúvio. 😒

I’ve been using idioms like
find . -name \*.foo | while read f; do mv $f ${f%%.foo}.bar; done
for decades. Now I’m preparing an exercise where students are to rename all files that do not end in .txt; so something like this should do the trick:
find . -not -name \*.txt | while read f; do mv $f ${f%%.*}.txt; done
Except... ${f%%.*} is empty! ${f%.*} works, but why!?
Finding the obvious took me an hour… And why do I only stumble upon such things when preparing exe…

The Polar Climate Space:
Our next hackathon/bootcamp on polar climate processes is now open for applications.
Funded by European Space Agency - ESA's climate programe under the #ESApisco project, and in association with the Horizon Europe project #SnowPI, we are looking for talented ECRs and senior researchers who are interested in working with them on small group problems tackling key processes in the #Arctic and #Antarctic.
We will bring together Earth Observation data with high resolution regional climate models to get deeper insights into polar climate processes.
Deadline to apply is 1st May, more details here:

So I joined a gym, the local YMCA, for the 1st time in my life. Yesterday I participated in my 1st drop-in exercise class and discovered I'm not as fit as I thought I was. I'm now committed to attending at least one exercise session each week. I might need my wife to drag me there occasionally.
