It isn't shown in TFA, but the zcalc keymap is bindable in the line editor so not only can you use it like qalc/irb/luap/whatever you can also take advantage of any other functionality of zsh within it. Admittedly, you

I'd guess that xorcist added a space at the end of the function name because zsh uses =( to specify one type of process substitution. Without the space or an escape for = zsh will error on alpaca128's definition believing you w

I'm a zsh user, and I disagree on it not being much of an issue. It is very easy to inadvertently rely on all manner of zsh-specific behaviour in scripts. Short form logic syntax, builtins with different arguments, internal stat&#x

If you're looking to go full rabbit hole, the zsh native scripting handbook is good for a few examples. Easy to end up in linenoise if you're not careful though. A fair few really nice zsh things in zdharma's GitHub repos t

In which case, I've won! Seriously though, I think you were probably lucky to have experienced zsh that way. The out of the box experience is incredibly bare. Said as a fellow oh-my-zsh user going back the full twelve years, accordin

When actually inside vim Tim Pope's excellent vim-projectionist has a wonderfully useful feature for flipping between various related files(:h projectionist-alternate). The whole plugin is really cool, it makes it so simple to configu

Built-in zsh behaviour in fact, oh-my-zsh just enables some extremely useful non-default options. With a compinit call the directory substring expansion will work. And, with auto_pushd enabled cd fiddles with the directory stack. The .....

Not for you, but perhaps for others who also like that behaviour. With zsh you can enable the auto_pushd option, which makes cd manipulate the directory stack itself. You could probably simply alias cd as pushd too under zsh too, but in ba

"CDPATH=<str>" without the export will work as you'd want, and won't pollute the environment for subshells and scripts. It is unlikely you really want to export anything listed in the shell variables section of th

I wonder if the simplest "trick" is to do the exact opposite. Name your ~/.sqliterc something else, and then "alias sqlite3='sqlite3 -init ~/.sqliterc-interactive'" in your shell's config? Altho

I've been really enjoying the litecli experience. Having been a ptpython¹ user I already knew about prompt_toolkit², but somehow had missed litecli. This comment is just a general recommendation for Python users to have a poke around

Until you pointed it out I hadn't realised requests had stopped bundling all its deps¹, but that does make me wonder to what extent bundling distorts the usage statistics. For example, packages such as pip bundle over a dozen packages

I feel like the increase in wheel width may have had the biggest effect on the tyre shift. It was hard to buy a road wheel that wasn't a 15mm bead width a few years ago, and it is becoming difficult to buy wheels that are not >20mm

I wonder how much of it is basically a fashion issue? It is increasingly unusual to see new road bikes near me that are basic tubular constructions, to the point it feels like part of the design is simply showing that they're heavil

I don't believe I said it was. Let me try again. My point was that in the places where you may choose to use something else, but are firmly in the ocaml camp, then F# feels like it would be a more natural choice.

So, I get that there is momentum behind rust but I'm still a little surprised they're hitching themselves to that as opposed to F#. I'm obviously missing the big picture, but it just feels like if you want ocaml but can'

This is one of the many cool things that zsh comes with out of the box. It ships an autoload-able colors¹ script that does largely the same thing as your fragment, but you know it available wherever zsh is. In much the same way it comes wi
