TIL that mac has an executable `cd` command:

   $ cat /usr/bin/cd
   
   #!/bin/sh
   # $FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/alias/generic.sh,v 1.2 2005/10/24 22:32:19 cperciva 
   Exp $
   # This file is in the public domain.
   builtin `echo ${0##*/} | tr \[:upper:] \[:lower:]` ${1+"$@"}

Although it didn't behave as expected when invoked ...

I'd say one reason is that nobody wants to type '_' :)

Maybe using '.' would work (ie. blog.publish) but the sub-command pattern (ie space separating) seems well established and slightly easier than typing '.'

This looks like an interesting way to manage scripts globally. I could even see it able to manage n-sub-commands deep (vs usual "command sub-command" - maybe it already does?) by just trying to resolve each argument as a dir until you find a script to execute.

If you're interested in ways to better-manage small scripts and wrappers more locally, please take a look at my project, Run:

As these types of post often come around to make's sub-optimal use as general runner, I'd like to point out my project, Run:

https://github.com/TekWizely/run

It feels like a makefile but is optimized managing and invoking small tasks and wrappers, and auto-generates help text from comments.

For those looking for a powerful task runners that feel like a makefile, please take a look at Run:

https://github.com/TekWizely/run

It's better a managing and invoking tasks and generates help text from comments.

Throwing https://heartfeedrss.wordpress.com/usage/ into the ring as its been my go-to rss reader since LinkedIn's Pulse was decommissioned.

I really dig the grid-based approach for both increased content density and easy cross-feed navigation.

Although bash-specific, Bashly falls into the "Task Runner" category. As such, I would like to chime in with my entry:

Run : https://github.com/TekWizely/run

It has its own DSL for describing tasks, along with help strings and argument descriptors, and can manages generating help screens, parsing args and invoking tasks (sub-commands).

Each task can be written in its own language, one task could be Bash, one could be zsh, one could be python, etc.

If you're in the market for a flexible task runner, I hope you'll give it a chance.

Seriously, we couldn't find 6 more to get to ... 3188 ?

Greetings!

So my searching turned up a couple of game play videos, none of which seemed to include any songs.

Found the wikipedia and moby games pages of course, but no mention of soundtracks (although they do mention sound credits for game)

I was able to find this yt video of the title track * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I10wdVXC4cw

Its definitely reminiscent of my mystery track, so good find!

Thanks for sharing and having a listen of my mystery track !

I hadn't thought of that - I'll into the idea of musicians named "candyman" in the tracker scene.

Thanks for the lead, and for having a listen of the track !

Checked it out to see and yeah starting rumble had some similarities:

Been awhile since I've heard it so listened to the first chorus -- Took two minutes to get to the first utterance of "Turbo Lover" -- ahh thats how it should be, I was in suspense waiting for it ... not like today when songs hit the full-power chorus at the 10-15 second mark

Thanks for having a listen of my mystery track!

Yeah, being a child of 80's video games is probably why I like it (and techno in general).

Thanks for having a listen !

LOL Why, do you like it?

I want to hope that if I were, I might have also created another track or two in the last 12-15 years :) Playing the long game on a single track is definitely risky :)

Thanks for having a listen tho !

Hey thanks for the lead, and for having a listen of the track !

Growing up, an impossible to find tune was "I'm old enough to rock and roll" from Iron Eagle.

I used to hit up the internet a couple times a year trying to find the track.

Finally, Rainy created an official release:

I actually have my own personal Mystery Tune which I'm been trying to find the owner of for years.

I'm offering a cash reward for help identifying the song:
