floobits is really cool, although I've never really gotten into it myself because the projects I would use it on include some large (10MB+) XML files, where floobits seems to make things slow / sync slowly (at least it did when I

You can do all Levenshtein edits while looking up in a (minimised, acyclic) FSA, which is fairly easy to implement[1], but means instead of having one FSA-state per index in the word as you look it up, you now have a set of states (each wit

there's also disown. It's a bash builtin, so you'll have to type "help disown" ("man disown" gets you nothing). E.g. to run touchegg and close your terminal, keeping touchegg running: touchegg & d

I do this sometimes when I want to run some command first from earlier in my history, then the commented out command also stays in history so I can continue with it after I've re-run the earlier command first.

There are good reasons to use LC_ALL=C for certain commands , especially if you want sorting that's stable across different systems. Sometimes you want "aa" to be before "b" even though the Norwegian UTF-8 locale p

Are you sure? My middle name is Brubeck as well, and there is some overlap in features: * Brubeck only runs on Linux. It won't even build on Mac OS X. … Brubeck has the following dependencies: * A Turing-complete comp

Yeah, same with the find -printf (at least macports can install coreutils and give you "gstat"). Portability is hard :-/ http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ParsingLs

> And if I never have to parse the output of ls -l using cut again, I will be a happy person. Try stat instead, e.g. $ stat -c 'NAME: %n; OWNER: %U, SIZE: %s' * also supports --printf (see man stat).

Don't use awk for parsing XML/JSON, there are excellent tools like html-xml-utils or jq that already do that well: $ sudo apt-get install html-xml-utils jq $ curl 'https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q

Goldberg says parenthesis-balancing and indentation etc. would require lots of non-trivial human reasoning to implement, but I found https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9585080 's example even more amazing: the NN act

There's no built-in encoding/decoding stuff, ie. you need to use a library like Batteries, Camomile, uutf/uucp if you want to do something like capitalise, split or count characters. Writing the appropriate glue isn't ve

Pretty flashy :-) I like how it told me to use () when I tried typing $(), and the autocompletion is quite impressive. However, how do you work around the lack of <() and >()? E.g. if I want to do the equivalent of $ diff <(x

Paredit is one of the reasons I find writing emacs-lisp really enjoyable, it made me dislike Python's lack of braces since I could no longer fly through my code as fast :-) Note: there is now https://github.com/Fuco1&#x

Isn't d% a more likely vim command? Although, you'd think vim would have a general "transpose text object" operator. If it were bound to some ŧ, then you could just do %ŧ% (here emulating Emacs' C-M-f C-M-t)
