The IFS is an abbreviation for Internal Field Separator which is an environment variable in the shell to determine the separator. The $IFS specifies how the words on the command prompt are delimited. By default, field separators (IFS) are the space, tab, and newline but we can alter this in our script to match the requirements. It is mostly used for loops to manipulate the elements in the specified list. We use the $IFS variable in our Bash script to split the string because Bash does not include a built-in mechanism for string splitting.
There are two alternative ways to delete a directory, file, or folder in Bash. We can delete the folders or directories using two different commands. The “rmdir” command is used to delete the empty folders or directories. The “rm” command is used to delete the folders or directories that are not empty. However, we will use the “rm” command to delete the folders in this article. Additionally, we delete some files from the Linux desktop.
The “AWK” function is a Linux utility that is used for text analysis that offers strong data control. To use the Linux computer program and “AWK” function, users can evaluate, modify, and generate the prepared results. The “AWK NF” variable is used to show how many files, elements, or other items are contained in a line of any file.

Here is some udpdate on Niepce work done in December 2022. Mostly changes under the hood, but important ones to move forward with improving the features. The short version: it feels great to remove C++ code.

We have released Qt 6.2.7 LTS for commercial license holders today. As a patch release, Qt 6.2.7 does not add any new functionality but provides bug fixes and other improvements.
In C++, std::list is like a container that stores the elements on the non-contagious memory location. The “std::list” is implemented as a doubly linked list. We can insert or remove any element of the list that is stored in any location, which makes the lists bidirectional and sequential. Bidirectional because we can access the list elements from the front and back of the list (from any location). Sequential because we can access the elements anywhere in the sequence. Lists behave as doubly linked lists. Doubly linked lists can store their elements anywhere in the memory and they can be accessed from any location on the runtime. The list belongs to a standard template library like arrays and vectors but lists do not allow a fast access comparable to other data structures. Let’s discuss “std::list” in this article with the practical implementation of lists with different operations.
The loss function in optimization is a function that serves as a proxy for the underlying performance measurement. In many cases, it's one of the most important components of any form of machine learning.
It's also sometimes referred to as the cost function, objective function, error function, or reward function, depending on what you're doing. Those terms capture the essence of what I'd like to get out of my 2023 predictions – a measured error and a way to derive a path to improvement (i.e., a metaphorical gradient).
