tanaypratap / Copying selected file from one location to another
Created June 21, 2016 07:17
cp `ls -SF | grep .log` /path/to/where/you/want/to/copy
Note 1: notice the backtick it's not inverted comma
Note 2: if you want to copy only files ending with .log for example, training1.log (yes) but training2.log.gz (no)
then use $ like:
cp `ls -SF | grep .log$` /path/to/where/you/want/to/copy

For Microsoft Hiring related queries

I work at Microsoft

Yes, but I'm not the point of contact for hiring

tldr I would love to help. But Microsoft HR is the right place to get help around hiring queries. I am just someone who teaches people how to code and I would like to dedicate my energy into that.

Why you ended up on this page?

If you're reading this chances are you pinged me on some social media platform to enquire about Microsoft's hiring process. I'm living a public life on Internet and this might seem like a good idea. But for a second, let's practice empathy for me.

Practice Empathy for Tanay

  1. I want to help as many people as I can. All this content I create is for free, I get no money paid from anywhere for this.
  2. I have good number of connections, followers across Internet. My weekly reach is close to 100,000. I can't fathom how I can reply if everyone pings me individually.

If you need my personal time, please read this

Dear Reader,

some Context

Why are you here? You got this link in some chat or comment because you asked me to spend my personal time on something. If that's the case, please read as to why I am unable to do it. After that I have also provided answers to common questions/requests which I generally get and how my content or community can be helpful.

Why I can't spend 1:1 time? I have a full time job. A job which has its own responsiblities. My social media presence or my free courses are of my goodwill. Nobody, literally nobody pays me for doing this.

Now, I have 50K+ followers across various channels and I try put my learnings out there as much as I can. It is impossible for me to do these small favors which people ask. I know it takes a lot of courage to ask, I respect that. I am also not denying that I can be helpful. But understand that this will not scale.
