Honestly, for the first year or two after learning about it (which is the only time where it’s really relevant) that’s exactly what I did. Spend 30 seconds, derive something that’s definitely correct, and never worry again about your memory randomly failing you

The classic rm -rf $ENV/home where $ENV can be empty or contain spaces is definitely going to hit someone one day

“Glazing” is slang for over-complimenting, often to an obsessive degree

Run info info

Texinfo pages were originally meant to be a longer alternative to manpages that had support for featureful navigation (links, indexes, etc). They’re nice and I can see a world where they did catch on, but the standard viewer is always a little bit of a shock to jump in to (being based off Emacs and all)

An amendment to the popular expression, “All [personal] information should be free”, I suppose

Agreed, fzf (and similar fuzzy finders) have been a game-changer with regards to the way in which I navigate the shell. Add in a couple of one-liners and I’m never more than a second away from any nested directory

Here are some of the most used aliases in my configs if anyone would like to try it out

Note that they use fd and exa but they can easily be swapped out for find and ls if those aren’t available on your system (which would allow for shorter aliases since they’re the fzf defaults IIRC)

alias update-cdd='fd -Ha -td -d1 -E "\.config" -E "\.local" "^\." ~ > ~/.cddignore'

alias cdd='cd "$(fd -H -td --ignore-file ~/.cddignore . ~ | fzf --preview "exa -lF --no-permissions {}" --tiebreak=length,end,begin --preview-window=up,20%)"'

alias cdf='cd "$(fd -H -tf --ignore-file ~/.cddignore . ~ | fzf --preview "bat --style=header-filename,header-filesize -r 40: --color=always {}" --tiebreak=length,end,begin --preview-window=up,20% | xargs dirname)"'

Finally, each of us upvoted the post, […]"

“And then we waited to see who, if anyone, would give a shit,” she said.

MacFarlane concluded, "Our elegant approach didn’t work, so we hired a Perl hacker to go dig up the personal details on all 38 accounts that had ever upvoted a Haskell post, and the only one we didn’t know was Seth Briars.

This is the one that got me
