you could always make a not() { ! "$@"; }; but there's really no point |

If ${parents[@]: -1} gives me the last value, why does ${!parents[@]: -1} not give me the last key? |

it's not the 'eval' keyword that is evil, but the practice of 1) excuting potentially unsafe data and 2) storing code as strings. |

because !parents[@] isn't a parameter name. |

is 'eval' or 'exec' in shell scripts common to use? |
| 06:48 |
< | izabera | | > |
exec is, eval should be avoided when possible |
| 06:48 |
< | gniourf | | > |
eval is evil as some say |

xargs is evil because a factoid says so. Therefore, it's evil. Don't question that, please. |

hyper_ch: I'm sorry to hear that. But I've had that issue, and xargs is simple enough to use. |
| 14:09 |
< | dualbus | | > |
Why is it labeled as evil? because greycat said so, most likely. Why? because it takes shell quoted input by default. Is that evil? A bit. Does that make xargs not useful? not at all. |

IMO, the mechanism that bash has for allowing most of ormaaj's bombs is evil. Does that mean I'll stop using bash? No |

Removing the eval causes the command to fail. |

I want to remove the eval, though, because greybot has done a good job brainwashing me to believe it is evil. |
