For fast iteration with pipes, using only basic unix tools, and arguably less risky to fat-fingering, I write it in a file, and use watch -n1. Easy to modify, temporarily comment parts of it, etc... Also, I wrote this plog function (for pi

There is some special casing in the ifs conditions though. Even if you `set -e`, the command in the test can fail and your script won't exit.

There's also closh ( https://github.com/dundalek/closh ) which also provides scripting capabilities appart from the pure interactive shell. As a newcomer to clojure my question is: what would be the practical differ

Incognito mode works. There's this userscript I created a few days ago that can open the incognito window for you in those cases: https://gist.github.com/kidd/d53ca34477c45ee927105fc03b41797... . Not rocket scien

It's been ages (literally) since I felt so helplessly out of a conversation not being able to check a reference instantaneously. Weird feeling...

zsh also has them. Another neat way of wrapping code in pushd/popd is to use a subshell. (cd $dir do-stuff ) Oilshell ( https://www.oilshell.org/ ) has support for code blocks so you can: cd &

I feel ya, my friend. I also have read the org manual a few times, and it feels so big you can't hold a mental model for long enough to make sense while incorporating all its features. As you know, org mode has too many features to us

You've a lot of cool stuff in that repo! I hope you don't mind me 'stealing' some stuff for a kind of booklet I'm working on with several shell tips and tricks. https://github.com/kidd/scripting

I haven't found much about this topic and I agree there's a need for more info on that. I remember finding this talk useful and general good advice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN4ZuGruiNw but would love to

With a friend we started having those, and we've been thinking about streaming them, but they always end up being quite chaotic. It'd be very interesting to figure out how to make them fluid enough and yet easy to follow for more

Wow, thanks so much for this answer. I'm just going to add this link here to another explanation of yours I found around that expands on some of the unique aspects of Red: https://www.reddit.com/r/redlang/comm

Both REBOL and Red feel magical to me. How is this simplicity achievable? Where is the trick? I never could dig too deep into those, and couldn't find much info on the net. Is there a set of seminal papers/articles on the princip

Why is vim so addictive, and somehow it's difficult to explain to non vim fanatics? I think it's a reification of the process of walking through a text file and doing stuff to it. A concrete way to talk about processes onto text f

A bit tangential to the main topic, but I can't wait for that book to be out. IIRC (I read it somewhere??) it's based on his 'Robust Systems' thoughts and experiments. Total mystery here: https://mitpress.mit.

As others commented, this only acts when the first word in your commandline ends with '.git'. - "git", alone isn't going to be hooked. - you can do "cd .git". - even if you have 'autocd&

I also love them global aliases! To push them even further (like the xargs one), I have those aliases to allow me to do quick iterations in 'streaming' fashion: alias -g FORI='| while read i ; do ' alias -g IRO

suffix aliases do not even have to refer to a real existing file. They are an alias. That's what I use to clone git repos I copypaste: alias -s git="git clone"

Since 2012 I'm using a userscript I wrote to inject a button to each github code comment to open my editor at the file-and-line. It feels strange this is not something more people want, but I haven't seen any other project that ad

Die hard emacs user here (but looking sometimes into vscode). Which things you get from vscode that couldn't get in emacs? Are you definitely set?
