Eu pensei que eu fosse o unico br que assistia os videos dele kkkk

Eu comecei com ele em c++, e agr já to na playlist intermediária de Java, bucky é mt bom

Anonymus Because his videos are often wrong? A lot of what he teaches is only loosely valid from a practical perspective and he accidentally teaches a lot of outright incorrect background information. He calls "gz" files "compressed files" but strongly implies they're the only type of compressed file (they're not; there's xz, bzip2, lzma, lrzip, and others). He says "tar" compresses, but the invocation he describes does not compress at all and results in a larger output than the original files combined. He describes the "v" option but doesn't mention that it stands for "verbose", which makes it easier to remember and easier to understand. He describes the "f" option as "the file options" but doesn't explain what on earth that means (it instructs tar to write to or read from a file given as the next argument, rather than using standard input/output). Another example: when he talked about how "ubuntu" handled backslashes. No, that's bash handling them. If you use a different shell it might not be handled like that. If you use a different distro but use bash, they will work the same. His description of shell word splitting is wishy-washy and only circumstantially correct but I can forgive that in a video aimed at newbies.

+scoreunder Thats pretty harsh man

+Kalamity I know it's harsh, but for someone so well known I think he should be more careful in teaching things, and teach them once he's familiar with them rather than while he's still learning. If people watch these videos and take them at their word, they will end up with some useful knowledge but a lot of incorrect assumptions which will hinder them in future. I believe that at his level of exposure +thenewboston has a responsibility to teach correctly and carefully. If it's what it takes, I would start up my own tutorial channel for topics I know in depth. However I have neither the viewers nor the charisma to make that happen, and it would still not stop incorrect tutorials from circulating.

+Slizzer I don't know of many tutorials - when I was starting with linux I'd poke around until I was sure I couldn't find something, and then I'd google for it. There's always someone on Super User or something of the like who has had a similar question. Most of the time the answers there are quite accurate too.

+Slizzer look for books, there's one called the bash bible scripting guide or something like that...I know some really good..but really great tutorials, but they're in spanish :( look for Richard Couture, maybe you're lucky and you find some english tutorials from him...since by his accent he seems to be north american.

ikr, his voice is just so soothing and he is so funny to listen too.

Ulghart I agree but how can u do it with folders?

Oh u just type the directory instead of the file lol

1. Gzip is a compression tool used to reduce the size of a file 2. Tar is an archiver used to to combine multiple files into one (does not reduce the file size)

You should learn about some compression algorithms.

Michael Thomas what is z for?

Or did u mean x?

V stands for verbose i.e. it will show output in the terminal

Christian Herrera thanks for the reply now i know now. I've been messing with centos for some time and things seem to be a lot clearer now.

hey I have something that is pretty confusing, how come compressed file takes up more space than uncompressed file?

I suppose it applies for tiny files, that the compress code takes up a bit of space. Try bigger files and it should compress a lot.

yea thats what I was thinking but wasn't sure about it, thanks
