Broke log-in to an external server I have access to by attempting to use
ssh-copy-id me@server, after which it still wanted my password but once inputted correctly didn’t start the shell. (Though showed the motd).

I so missed this.
Adding to ~/.inputrc this line:
set editing-mode vi
makes all readline programs use vi mode, including Python interactive console. Wow.
Alternatively, this apparently works too when typed into python console:
import readline
readline.parse_and_bind("set editing-mode vi")
ardagnir/athame: Full vim for your shell (bash, zsh, gdb, python, etc)
One can install it in place of the usual readline locally or globally.
Installed for zsh, now I can use ci( bindings again!
In [Day732]({{site.baseurl}}{% link _posts/2021-01-02-day732.markdown %}), I changed my ./vimrc to utf8 from latin-1, to be able to use the “◦” symbol to mark trailing spaces.
Well, it broke the vim macros for the link wiki (from [Day 450]({{site.baseurl}}{% link _posts/2020-06-23-day540.markdown %})) :( I had the latin version of the .vimrc backed up, falling back to it for now.
I need to think of a way to save these macros better, because even copypasting them to this dtb didn’t work and I had to do text encoding magic. I think this is exactly the time one should use a proper scripting language like Python, and write another small qutebrowser script that changes the contents of the filled textarea.

Copied directly from this excellent page, I never found this explained in such a readable way: How to create internal links in Jekyll | Web Island Blog
Write a small script that allows me to easily link to days just by their day number.
Before URI contained the date and was hard to link to. Now I changed this in _config.yml:
permalink: :title:output_ext
Links are now like this: https://www.pchr8.net/d/dtb/day749.html
float('inf') works for floats, but there’s no way to do it with ints. math.inf is also a float. 1
<Ctrl-C>Made a typo, vim attempted to indent 20k lines (and started counting “xx lines to indent…”, intuitively pressed <Ctrl-C>, it successfully interrupted the operation!
Simplified bindings for passthrogh, added last line to ~/.config/qutebrowser/config.py
config.unbind('<Shift-Escape>', mode='passthrough')
config.bind('<Ctrl-Shift-+>', 'leave-mode', mode='passthrough')
config.bind('<Shift-I>', 'enter-mode passthrough')
Would allow me to use websites’ own shortcuts more often.

dill is like pickle, but serializes more stuff!
Yet another way one can get the “no tests to run” error - if a test is not called test_..., it won’t be ran.
It’s easy to do a sticky window in i3!
Added to ~/.config/i3/config:
# Sticky window

Seaborn anonying facet title · Douglas C. Wu:
sns.catplot(x="target",y="score",hue='score-type',data=d,kind='bar',col='bundle',col_wrap=2,sharex=False,sharey=False).set_titles(col_template='{col_name}')
The set_titles(col_template='{col_name}') removes the usual “x=y” title in each of the sub-plots!
Yet another time qtbrowser started crashing, yet another time fixed it by removing state and sessions from ~/.local/share/qutebrowser/. I blame me messing with qt versions last week.
Somehow magically I don’t have to escape anything in the regexes when using it!

python - Passing empty string to argparse - Stack Overflow:
python test.py --mode=
I’ve been using args a la -w is, but -w=is also works, and therefore python3 myprogram.py -w -another=opt is perfectly valid! Python parses it as empty string (that casts to False).
fc linux meaningTIL fc stands for “fix command”!
s/ replacing stuffDiscovered that if you just want to remove something, %s/from works (without the second // part at all)
Seems the best current default way to do cli options! Docs tutorial is as accessible as usual: Argparse Tutorial — Python 3.9.1 documentation
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(formatter_class=argparse.ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter) # show default args in help
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(formatter_class=argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter) # allow newlines in help text
parser.add_argument("-lp", "--localpath", help="Local path. \n %(default)s", default=local_path) # add default text in help text manually
When creating argparse.py, don’t be surprised if you can’t use argparse from import argparse. 1
Nice article: PyFormat: Using % and .format() for great good!
I should make an effort to learn it and use it.
ag -G "component.*yaml" regex - searches for regex inside all files whose path matches the regex after -G
ag --python "myregex" automatically looks for it in all python files, and really nicely outputs matches!
g!/pattern/d, as opposed to the usual g without exclamation mark.
less to copy cli stuff with weird linebreaksIf command returns output with newline breaks that are ignored when copypasting directly, using command | less seems to make it work - I can copypaste from there without problems.
