Bash aliases for Harry Potter enthusiasts
- gboudrias 10y agoHmm, these are actually not bad! This is a bit much though: "alias wingardiumLeviosa=mv"
- PascLeRasc 10y agoThat's because it's LeviOsa, not Leviosa.
- LeoPanthera 10y agoOne of my favourites is "ffs=sudo" so that when I forget to sudo a command I can type "ffs !!"
- sullyj3 10y agoYou might enjoy https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck
- Hamcha 10y agoI actually have a "ffs" alias for when I work on a project with multiple people (or from multiple computers), except it does a "git stash && git pull --rebase && git stash pop" (because "ffs" is my reaction when I try to "git push" and can't)
- 0xcde4c3db 10y agoThis reminds me of GNU Screen's "nethack" command, which translates a bunch of the error messages to Nethack-themed ones [1]. It looks like it's been removed and won't be in the next release, though. [1] http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/screen.git/tree/src/nethack.c?id=v.4.3.1 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/screen.git/tree/src/nethack...
- gcr 10y agoNooo!~~ so sad! this is a piece of hacker history being removed from a GNU tool! "A blast of disintegration whizzes by you!"
- adontz 10y agoHm. I was sure avadaKedavra will be pkill and not rm.
- sandworm101 10y agoI'm distressed to realize that I actually get the references, the result of a christmas with young family members. I think I've got about a year until that dreaded stage show comes to town. Hopefully they will have aged-out of the craze by then.
- nathancahill 10y agoYou must be fun at christmas parties
- geofft 10y agoPeople with taste don't "age out of the craze". I've been rereading the books on my commute over the last few weeks, and they're every bit as good as I remembered them being some 15 years ago. If you end up with tickets for Cursed Child that you don't want, I'll gladly buy them from you.
- dllthomas 10y agoI read the first one for the first time, recently. It was okay. Just okay.
- sandworm101 10y ago> I've been rereading the books on my commute That's what they are for. Short 10-15minute chapters that demand little to nothing of the reader. Each scene is encapsulated, with magical objects or principals appearing and disappearing to both create and answer problems. Re-read Tolkien and see the difference. I got bored of the entire elitist theme. The wizarding world is a metaphore for the english class system, something that imho shouldn't be promoted in a kids book. Hogwarts is a grammar school. Magic is latin. Wizards are the ruling class and mugals the illiterate peasants. Even the four houses map onto established classes and royal struggles (see the war of the roses). It's all been done to death.
- sullyj3 10y agoThe wizarding world is portrayed as backward, stagnant and racist, in contrast to the muggles, who make continuous progress.
