Science based practices for a meaningful life
Instantly convert any python cli programme made with click into a simple web frontend.
Design is not amazing but it is done in like 30 seconds and you have a frontend.
Wow!
isync/mbsync and offlineimap alternative. Looks pretty good and has a simple enough config!
At the moment unfortunately no way to 'include' things in the config file that I can see,
so no way to implement an externally sourced username/password style.
Learn how to rename Linux users and move their home directories to a new path, as well as renaming their primary group and UID using usermod and groupmod.
Since I always forget, this simply lists the three commands in order with terse explanation.
Many good suggestions for freecad tutorials, including Joko Engineering and Ha Gei, thehardwareguy, dr vax, ..
Inject javascript into any running process (or python, or golang, or any of a bunch of other langauge bindings).
Can be used to hook into processes, run functions, send and receive messages, and a bunch more.
Essentially process injection on steroids - super cool.
It seems to even be able to inject itself to processes on other devices running connected to the machine? Not entirely sure how to implement but take a look at frida-ps
ios example.
Command line csv viewer. (Less but for csv files)
Curious exactly what happens when you run a program on your computer? Learn how multiprocessing works, what system calls really are, how computers manage memory with hardware interrupts, and how Linux loads executables.
A really nice delve into CPU inner workings, especially system calls and hardware interrupts are an interesting read.
Alternative to mermaid, plantuml, graphviz. Can be used in quarto.
Is a single golang cli binary at the core which I much (much) prefer to the javascript-dependent client-side nature of mermaid.
Otherwise, the DSL looks competent and fairly descriptive.
Supports displaying markdown, code, images, icons, or latex formulas in the diagrams.
Could be a good choice for quick diagrams!
Much smaller than other vuejs/nuxt,angular,react frontends.
But has the essentials for most 'javascript-interactive' functionalities provided by many modern websites.
Seems interesting!
A super in-depth and fairly personal guide to everything to get your freelance operation going.
I am amazed at the amount of concreteness and obvious labour poured into this for free.
If you have any inclination of freelancing - setting your own costs and choosing your own clients - this takes you through the billing, tools, clients, rates, tricks, and more.
It is strongly focused on web development but some parts can probably be adapted to other areas.
A surprisingly in-depth explanation fo landing page fundamentals, with tips on extent and makeup.
Can come in very useful as a reference material.
Same rough functionality as entr - watch for filechanges from the commandline. But with a server/client interface and afaik possibility to invoke programmatically.
Provides the virtual windows management interface that tmux/screen do.
Does explicitly not do anything like session management, for that it recommends using abduco or similar programs like dtach.
Simple session management allowing to detach from a current session.
Does explicitly not emulate the virtual window system of screen/tmux.
D programming language tutorial from the ground up.
Really extensive documentation and guided tour of the D language. From simple hello world to parallelism, concurrency, and manual memory management.
Allows writing commandline arguments as if you're in a shell script, but from javascript.
Somewhat similar to execa, but afaik tries to implement its own cross-platform coreutil commands. Has quick $
based syntax by default:
import { $ } from "bun";
const response = await fetch("https://example.com");
// Use Response as stdin.
await $`echo < ${response} > wc -c`; // 120
Simple commandline process execution with javascript. Takes care of stdin/stdout/stderr transformations, termination, newlines, child processes and so on.
A smarter shell and scripting environment with advanced features designed for usability, safety and productivity.
Soomewhat like nushell in that it can easily open (i.e. wget/curl) APIs and web pages, parse structured data (e.g. TOML, YAML, JSON) and work with the variables.
But also somewhat different in that it does not want to take over the rest of the coreutils/shell builtins, and as far as I understand strives to work alongside the traditional shell (e.g. using it mostly for scripting while ignoring it for repl use or whatever your use case is). Also not taking a(n almost) strictly functional approach like nushell.
Not sure how mature it is yet, have not extensively tried it out.
Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils.
Simply intends to have complete compatibility with original coreutils - strives to fully pass the GNU coreutils test suite.
