• Command substitutions and variables: Fish for bash users — fish-shell 3.7.1 documentation
• string collect: string-collect - join strings into one — fish-shell 3.7.1 documentation
• SO: Read file into environment variable? · Issue #7323 · fish-shell/fish-shell:

set VARNAME (cat ~/myfile | string collect)

Here string collect makes sure it’s a multiline variable instead of an array composed of one element per line.

• Font Finder By Image — Fontspring Matcherator allows manually specifying glyphs and shows all paid fontns
• WhatTheFont Font Finder - Identify Fonts by Image is the very best, instantly parsed the noisy image and the fonts looked much closer (and found some very famous ones missed by the first)

On a slow connection or other constraints, you can check out only the last N commits or only a specific branch:

git clone --depth 3 --branch some-branch https://some-repo.org

TIL¹:

• ./git/info/exclude is your local .gitignore outside the repository tree!
• git update-index --assume-unchanged .gitignore makes git stop checking the changes for that file in the working tree. --no-assume-unchanged to take it back.²³

Finally a place for my local ignores that won’t appear in autocomplete suggestions for git add and friends. In Pycharm I have changelists, and now I finally have a solution for my just-as-usual vim/git/CLI workflow as well.

BUT:

• exclude won’t work if the file is already tracked (says SO but for me it works?..)

As of 2024-10-02 20:16 at least.

give me the ag command to look inside markdown and yaml files only

GPT4o¹:

`ag --include='*.md' --include='*.yaml' --include='*.yml' 'search_pattern'`

GPT4²:

`ag "search_pattern" --markdown --yaml`

TL;DR too many files? too large one? too many tags? Find out!

yay took forever to compress pycharm. Like, 5-10 mins at least.

TODO documentation, but if you don’t care about package size but care about speed, this will speed up everything considerably:

PKGEXT='.pkg.tar' yay -S pycharm-professional

Wanted to do sth like this all the time, but the help basically told me to copypaste multiple arguments etc.

Will come back to bite me but nice to have the option I guess

Question: How can I install packages without having to confirm? · Issue #1033 · Jguer/yay:

echo y | LANG=C yay --noprovides --answerdiff None --answerclean None --mflags "--noconfirm" $PKGNAME

(--noconfirm is not documented in help and man, and of course can create problems¹)

BUT ALSO

yes is a command that exists.

Then: yes | yay ... or yes | LANG=C yay

And generally really neat to have a command for answering “yes” to prompts.

And then quick unsafe bad dangerous command to update everything that includes 241001-1512 Yay better compression algos:

echo y | LANG=C PKGEXT='.pkg.tar'  yay  --answerdiff None --answerclean None --mflags "--noconfirm"

• You can share lists in Google Maps, making them editable by everyone with a google account
• Google My Maps is much cooler, with layers etc

Google My Maps

• Really nice tutorial on everything: Visualize your data on a custom map using Google My Maps – Google Earth Outreach
• To share it editable, you share -> Share on Drive
• drag and drop doesn’t always work
• style and colors
  • layer can be styled uniformly (easy)
  • style by data column: per-field, e.g. description, like a groupby
  • individual styles per element
• you can drag and drop items between layers only if they’re styled individually??
• If you style by e.g. description, assign icons/colors, then style individually to move them, then back to style by description, it seems to save the previous settings

So Slicer seems to use both and I need to as well, so I’ll have to learn that sooner or later.
