I published a new article on my blog: How to do search and replace with #git https://blog.bmispelon.rocks/articles/2024/2024-06-03-git-search-and-replace.html

I rediscovered #emacs abbreviations after watching this video by Protesilaos Stavrou. It shows how you can define abbrevs in code and even use interactive functions with them. It also gave me the idea to see, if having some personal abbrevs can be useful. Like having meemail, merepo, memastodon and so forth. So typing merepo will be replaced by https://github.com/e11bits while typing. https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2024-02-03-emacs-abbrev-mode/

✍️ New post on my new package django-harlequin.

🦆 This package provides a small launcher command for Harlequin, the Terminal-based SQL IDE by Ted Conbeer.

💽 Try it out and let me know what you think!

What are folks using for linting and/or formatting #django templates these days?

e11bits, 1 month ago to rust

Want to change a file with structured data from json, yaml or toml to any of those formats? E.g. a #hugo config file from toml to yaml?

I think one of the easiest way to do this is using the #rust tool convfmt.

If you have #rust installed, installing convfmt is just as quick as:

cargo install convfmt

After that the transformation from toml to yaml is just this:

convfmt -f toml -t yaml < hugo.toml > hugo.yaml

Helps if you start from an example project with an hugo.toml config.

Any macOS users ever hit that bug where sometimes activating exposé (or whatever that's called these days) freezes your screen such that only the mouse pointer can move but you can't interact with anything?

Any fixes? I find I sometimes have to hard-reboot

e11bits, 3 months ago to GNOME

I tried the tiling window manager forge with #gnome . As much as I can see the value of having a twm, the forge keybindings seem alien to me coming from #emacs, where I use ACE window movement (and the great AVY). Like with ACE I just would like to press a hotkey and select a number for the window I want to focus. Not to move a focus hint cursor around with <Super> + hlkj. This would work for me in #emacs and #gnome. Some suggestions for another twm like that, which works with #gnome?

What's great about #linux? It has your back! Imagine your bread and butter notebook dies on you and the only thing that you can get a hold of here and now in that emergency situation is that 10 year old computer. Installation of a current(!) distro just works and after restoring the backup you're ready to go again. Not as fast as you're used too, but also not as bad as you think. And it keeps you afloat unitl a replacement arrives. Try that with some mac/win.

I love that the first chapter of the #gnus #emacs documentation is "Don't Panic". In some regard it is a hitchhiker's guide through the cyberspace. 👽👾

After the PR of ticket #35171 got merged I cleaned my workdir. But before removing all test images, I put them in a video. 😁

#Django

The video shows the "congratulation" page, that appears after a successful Django installation in many different languages.

Yeah! #Django

Today I was years old, when I found out that there is a bash script for tab-completion to django-admin and manage.py in the #Django repository. 🤦

I always wondered about that, but never really bothered to look anywhere for it. Now I added this to my #ansible scripts which setup my work environment, so I'll never forget.

https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/extras/django_bash_completion

The video shows a terminal on black background. The #Django manage.py command is typed in and the various completions after pressing the TAB key are shown.

My second tiny PR got merged into #Django . The previous/next month buttons on the calendar widget at the admin site had some sort of glitch when hovering over them. Yes, tiny steps. Tiny steps.

https://github.com/django/django/commit/5a46f3fad7a1a0955d68e76a9b48daf7c4f7c1e0

The calendar widget of the #Django admin site (in dark mode). When the mouse is moving over the previous or next month button a glitch can be seen, like some bad "scroll up" animation.

A smaller change for #Django , but a bigger change for me. My PR got accepted. Thanks to @sarahboyce @felixxm for your patience with me! 😆 🍾

e11bits, 5 months ago to python

In the past I saw developers writing functions like func_a (just for illustration). Heavily nested and over a screen page long. They argued, that it had to be like that, because it would be better to have one and only one return statement at the end of the function. I'm in favor of something like func_b. It avoids nesting and exits as soon as the return value is known at the "cost" of multiple return statements. So "a", "b", "personal preference" or as always "it depends"? #python #programming

With Heroku's free tier gone, has a clear favorite emerged for free #Django app hosting?

e11bits, 11 months ago to manjaro

Until now I was a happy camper using #manjaro as my new workhorse. But this morning I tried to update the system and I got a lot of "Error: GPGME error: No data" and "invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature)" see https://dpaste.org/ahQWb.
