r - How to get a second bibliography? - Stack Overflow
thumbnail

Creating multiple bibliographies with pandoc -- using a lua filter and applying it to the material.

The filter, as it stands, may require use of multiple .bib libraries, but can probably be adapted to get its two bibliographic informations from the yaml header itself?

pipx: fixing 'No module named pip' and similar errors
thumbnail

Often this happens because pipx intends to use an older version of pip or similar issues after upgrading the system version of python.

Most drastic, but also most efficient, solution in this comment.

GitHub - beancount/beancount: Beancount: Double-Entry Accounting from Text Files.
thumbnail

Alternative to hledger, written in python and supporting an easy python extension system (write your own plugins).

Generally intended to be simpler to use than ledger/hledger, at the expense of very advanced settings and input options.

Provides its own query language to find transactions, as well as an integrated web interface (and https://github.com/beancount/fava as a more advanced implementation of the web interface). Looks really good and functional, as well as way simpler than e.g. Firefly III interface.

The Xonsh Shell

Shell for linux, running on python, aiming to be largely 'bash-like' (if not completely compatible afaik).

Could be intersting for more in-depth terminal work (semi-programmable) but probably large time investment to switch from other cozy homes like zsh.

Codidact

StackExchange alternative - open-source, smaller, and more free from drama.

Unfortunately (naturally) missing the large archives of knowledge on SE so far.

Similar to vim-navigator, allowing movement between tmux panes and vim buffers with the same shortcuts (predominantly c-hjkl).
But extends its functionality for e.g. i3 windows.

The Knowl Bookshelf aims to be a unified front-end for all of your ebook databases. Often, there may be significant structural differences between various ebook sources (i.e. Project Gutenberg Project, Internet Archive, Open Library, etc). Knowl Bookshelf mutates these differing sources into a common set of univeral Knowl fields. This consolidated/unified database is then presented to the end user as an elegant Single-Page Application (SPA).

Intermediate to advanced git tips:

easy-to-use command-line/curses/web plaintext accounting tool; a modern and largely compatible Haskell rewrite of Ledger - simonmichael/hledger

Janik Vonrotz - Bulk download papers from scihub for text mining
thumbnail

Simple sci-hub batch downloader, written in bash. Has to be adapted to use-cases a little (since hard-coded variables for page url and doi input file)

Other scihub downloaders:

  • Sci-Hub - did not work for me last time I tried it, presumably had a missing dependency, or written for outdated python version
  • scihub.py - not tested yet, but seems ambitious in that it gets the newest url, checks for captchas, and is pretty flexible in input dois

GitHub - JensErat/task-relative-recur: Hook providing relative recurring tasks for Task Warrior.
thumbnail

Adding relative recurring tasks to taskwarrior: they can wait until some time after they have last been completed and they can be due some time after they have last been completed.

Example here:

# You shouldn't mow your lawn more than once a week, but want to keep it short, so shouldn't wait for more than two weeks:

task add 'Mow the Lawn' relativeRecurWait:1weeks relativeRecurDue:2weeks
