Globbing is like regular expressions for your filenames. Unfortunately, it’s often misunderstood, despite being an essential command-line skill that everyone knows at least something about. Turn that superficial knowledge into a better understanding. What is globbing? “Globbing” is an informal version of the term “filename expansion.” Using special patterns, you can identify filenames based on patterns rather than exact literal matches. The first example of globbing that everyone comes across is in this kind of format: ls *.txt This shows a list of files with names ending in the extension “.txt” in your current directory. In this example, the *…

arXiv:2511.13542v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adaptive learning often diagnoses precisely yet intervenes weakly, producing help that is mistimed or misaligned. This study presents evidence supporting an instructor-governed feedback loop that converts concept-level assessment evidence into vetted microinterventions. The adaptive learning algorithm includes three safeguards: adequacy as a hard guarantee of gap closure, attention as a budgeted limit for time and redundancy, and diversity as protection against overfitting to a single resource. We formulate intervention assignment as a binary integer program with constraints for coverage, time, difficulty windows derived from ability estimates, prerequisites encoded by a concept matrix, and anti-redundancy with…
