My team doesn’t always have cleanly bisectable branches being merged to main —- it’s not uncommon to see “fix syntax error” types of commits. But, to merge we need to have all test…

I’ve rebuilt my emacs config a few times for exactly this reason! Some of the things I’ve found work well for me: - it’s pretty obvious, but it took me a while to figure it out: ma…

Speaking for myself, reasons why I don’t immediately share my own tooling: Perhaps I want to hold it to my own standard for tooling, not the team’s. Perhaps I want to write it in a…

I'm not sure that's the (sole) rule for "Y as vowel". It acts as a vowel in "fly", "spy", and a few other words. And it seems pretty darn dipthong-like when clustered among vowels,…

Oh crazy, I didn’t know about this aspect of bash. The line above set up automatic history ignoring for the colon-delimited shell globs; eg fg %3 won’t be recorded to shell history…

I fall into the hoard-and-curate camp. I use bash within tmux heavily, and got irked that a command I run in one shell session is not immediately available as a history item in oth…

Oh I’ve gotten weird about email, for sure — but this is more of an example of “the prototype goes to production”. I put these filters in place long before iPhones were a thing, an…

I suppose I hadn’t discovered that! I set this up back in 2002, well before the iPhone and push notifications. It’s worked for decades, and I haven’t needed to look for a different…

Oh, yikes. I’ve come to rely on the email->sms gateway from AT&T. I’ve had they set up a s a forwarding address within my web mail for a few years now, and have filters which forwa…

If I’m looking for code changes: git log -S If it’s commit messages I’m interested in: git log --grep Sometimes I want to know “all the commits that introduced a pattern”: git blam…

I wonder if bash-preexec https://github.com/rcaloras/bash-preexec could be used here. Perhaps you could start a timer in a preexec, and stop it in precmd. If the elapsed time is gr…

I think the message means that this post is worthy of a Hall of Fame on HackerNews.

I think it’s contrived simply for a pun: > leaky abstractions > > hydroplaning > hydroplaning requires: - water (“leaky”) - sliding (“...traction”) - lack of _brakes_ (“abs...”) We…

Naming our first child was tricky. My wife and I had a final list of 5 names, any of which would work as a first-middle combination. She’d randomly toss out two: “Washington Stewar…

When I change jobs, I check which version of my editor the dev environments have installed. If it's too old, I build a local copy of the latest version of my editor. No worries ask…

If you find "no problem" to be hard to say - or perhaps you feel it is hard for your listener to hear - then you could try "my pleasure". I made this small edit to my speech a few …

What else would you include?

Macros in vim can call themselves; so if you want to make an edit across an entire file, something like: qqq //clear q macro qq //start recording q macro /foo // search for somethi…
