Interesting idea. But as of right now, the recently submitted queries shown on the right almost all have wrong answers. For instance:

> Change jdk default version

    cd $( which oracle | xargs -I {} dirname {} )
> change the first character of every filename in this directory to "z"

    find z -type d -exec chown z {} \;
> count number of lines in a file

    wc -l $( wc -l )
> ping google.com every 5 seconds

    find . -name "*.com" | xargs -I {} tar -c -v -f google.com {}


Doesn't seem to work at all, just some random potentially dangerous guessing:

> what the day it is?

  find /home -type d -name "apt" -exec rm -f {} \;


Just out of curiosity, what were you expecting as output to that string of words? I think Tellina is only targeting natural sentences where the structure makes sense. Even I, a human being, have no clue what the response is supposed to be


  date +%D
... or at least ... nothing involving rm -f at all
