Yup, learning theory is way more about Why the move than What the move is

Dot Hop launched today on steam! It has some challenging grid puzzles that I think folks will find satisfying.

This game started as a puzzlescript game for the Fediverse Summer Jam hosted by the p.d community - I reimplemented it in Godot, added themes and many more puzzles, and finally released it last night/this morning.

The game's source is available on github and it can be purchased on steam and on itch.io.

Hope you enjoy it, and let me know what you think!

Can't remember the name of that one command line tool? Next time, add a comment! (programming.dev)
 

One of my favorite command line tips: you can add 'comments' full of keywords to shell commands, which makes searching your command history easier.

> obscure-cmd --with-weird-flags -Qdt # searchable comment keywords

Presumably you're using something like fzf for history search, but this is still useful without it.

This is especially useful for cli tools with obscure names/flags, or when you can't remember where a particular log file is.

Some examples from my history:

tail awesomewm logs:

tail -f ~/.cache/awesome/logs -n 2000 # tail follow log awesomewm

fix linux clock drift:

sudo ntpd -qg && sudo hwclock --systohc # fix linux clock time drift

copy ngrok public url to clipboard:

curl -s http://localhost:4040/api/tunnels | jq ".tunnels[0].public_url" | tr -d '"' | tr -d '\n' | xclip -selection clipboard -i # fetch ngrok url uri, copy to clipboard

sign ssh and gpg, then refresh the emacs keychain env:

keychain --agents gpg,ssh --eval id_rsa <some-gpg-id> && emacsclient -e '(keychain-refresh-environment)' # sign ssh,gpg password, refresh emacs env

Another gpg one:

git config commit.gpgsign false # disable gpg signing for this repo

Pacman/pamac commands, like listing orphaned packages:

pacman -Qdt # list orphans
pamac list -o # list orphans

xprop - super useful for debugging window management, for some reason i can never remember what it's called:

xprop # mouse click window x11 linux describe info client helper whateveritscalled

Some helpers from my clawe project:

bb --config ~/russmatney/clawe/bb.edn -x clawe.sxhkd.bindings/reset-bindings # reset sxhkd bindings
bb --config ~/russmatney/clawe/bb.edn -x clawe.restart/reload # reload clawe

Aliases come to mind as well - in some cases that might be a better fit. I like this because it's so low-lift.
