15.6. getopt — C-style parser for command line options — Python 2.7.16 documentation, especially the part optlist, args = getopt.getopt(args, 'abc:d:') – the options with a colon following need to have a value. Otherwise GetOptError will be raised.
Counter is much faster than count() in cases when you need to count multiple objects – you don’t have to iterate once for each object.
Use from tqdm import tqdm_notebook as tqdm instead of usual vanilla tqdm.
vimdiff file1 file2 opens a nice vim session with two buffers. [c and ]c jump back and forward between changes. (See http://vimcasts.org/episodes/comparing-buffers-with-vimdiff/)
<C-w> <C-r> just rotates all the splits, and <C-w> x to switch the current window with the next one. (split - Swap the position of two windows - Vi and Vim Stack Exchange)

I’m shocked this works, and it can do a lot of interesting stuff - files, directories, list of deleted files, etc etc etc.
I always forget this:
tail -f /var/log/
This is a nice read about how Pandas’ apply needs to store the Series it creates, that there’s no magic, and that inelegant loops can sometimes be faster. Relevant is the official Enhancing performance guide, that I should read.
Greed is absolutely wonderful and much more interesting than I thought at the beginning.rclone is nice. I followed the guide in Google drive, and the magic command to copy all content is rclone sync "drive:Google Photos" /mnt/data/Backups/GP, about 300kb/s, and about 4 hours left.

No easy answer, but I liked here the joke “In your particular case, an inclusive we could be used to recognize the nematodes collaboration :) – Dr. belisarius May 10 ‘11 at 13:01”
I asked another young professor whether one could use “I” and she said “Only if you want to sound like an arrogant bastard”, and observed that only old people with established reputations can get away with it.
The passive voice should not be used to avoid writing I or we. If the entire thesis is written in the passive voice, it is much harder to read, and the sentences within it1 have to be reworded awkwardly so that some good transitions between the sentences within a paragraph are lost. On the other hand, if some sentences seem to require the passive voice, by all means those sentences should be written in the passive voice. But the passive voice should only be used where it is justified, that is, where its use improves readability of the thesis.
TL;DR use “we”, don’t use passive unless needed; don’t use “I” ever.
Also in Germany it’s bachelor’s thesis, apparently.
