I should stop writing code in files like /tmp/x.go no matter how throwaway I think the code might be. I still have the linux/armv7 binary if anyone wants it lol.
Oh man, apparently I'm not alone in using /tmp/ as my storage space. I like it because it's self-cleaning!
cdtmp() {
cd $(mktemp -d)

You know what else is self-cleaning? /dev/shm The advantage being that it does not even touch the disk.

I present you my most used shell function: cdtmp() { cd $(mktemp -d) }

You can always use a clip-on book light, or other external light source. https://accessorytosuccess.com/blogs/tools/best-book-light-r... >
Every light in your link advertises (!) its multiple brightness and color settings. That makes for absolutely awful usability. I purchased a light like that, and it's terrible. Give me an actual booklight where the settings are "on" and "off". (Bizarrely, the light settings on a Kindle Oasis are barely better - since the light is controlled by an internal menu, as opposed to a hardware control, it can't be operated u…

Followed up with "but it was pretty simple, like under 30 lines" So simple in fact, that it wasn't quickly rewritten and added to GitHub...

That's fantastic, thanks! I always used to do this by hand. Though one downside is that the name is random, and it's hard to go back if you CD out. I might use diceware to make a memorable random name.
So I took your tip and now I have
cdtmp() {
local name
name=/tmp/$(diceware --no-caps -d - -n 2)
mkdir $name && cd $name
}

Be the change you want to see in the world. In the time you spent complaining about it here you could have made such a resource. Don't ask the Internet in general to do it for you.
No, I could not have, because I don't own a Kindle nor do I have any way of exercising the instructions. I'm just calling out that this is an asinine delivery format.
This would be far more interesting if you shared how, and did it on a platform that wasn't meant for short form content.
Writing a quick Github gist, sorry haha, I'll post a link here in a few minutes. Edit: https://gist.github.com/adtac/eb639d3c707b55a28f0ee9a420aa7e...
