Nope, never use it. I know how to write code myself.

But you can just as well make an exception to allow errors when -e is enabled with something like command || true, or even some warning message.

I feel like, while it does occur, allowing errors like this is more unusual than stopping the script in an error, so it’s good to explicitly mark this case, therefore -e is still a reasonable default in most cases.

In glad that you acknowledge the problem, because it really is dangerous. Memes are often totally detached from reality, misleading sometimes by intention or at least through hyperbole. As a format they leave no room for nuanced or fully rounded thoughts.

That said, memes can be fun if you are aware of the context and understand what is true and what is not. At least, before taking away relevant information from a meme, check the story from a proper news site, for example Reuters.

That’s just a different proprietary app though.

Unfortunately not real, I would have loved to read into some of them.

We need to collectively realize that both Celsius and Fahrenheit are mostly arbitrary and not more than practical conventions to assign numbers to temperatures. Kelvin makes more sense but is impractical for daily use. It’s just US-Americans distracting from the fact that most of their units are objectively bad compared to Metric by pointing out that Celsius is only marginally better.

How does this even work? I get the redirection part, but how is the command executed in a detached state?
