Modern CLI Replacements

There are a few lists already, I thought I'd create another one so we can have a long list of lists someday. 🤠 Ordered by approximately which ones I actually use often.

Modern CLI Replacements

  • zoxide - A smarter cd command. Supports all major shells.
  • mcfly - Fly through your shell history. Great Scott!
  • Procs - A modern replacement for ps written in Rust
  • sd - Intuitive find & replace CLI (sed alternative)
  • dust - A more intuitive version of du in rust
  • hyperfine - A command-line benchmarking tool

How to send STOP to SMS spam using iOS automation

Credit to Time Johnsen

⚠️ Please consider that this might not be a good idea. It's up to you. I feel like spammers are going to spam, so, idk.

How to Automatically Reply Stop to SMS Spam

  1. Open Shortcuts
  2. Click the bottom tab Automation at the bottom center. It's not Shortcuts, it's Automation.
  3. Create a new Automation using + at the top. This will open Personal Automation and you'll be looking at a list.

Demonstrating what a machine learning evaluation is like.
Ground Truth is me, a human, asserted the answer. GPT 4.0 did 10/10 (over ChatGPT voice on the mobile app no less).
This is a really terrible ML eval, it's accuracy only. The more real version of this would be hundreds of questions,
lots of data and lots of work. If you aren't putting the work in then your users are. It's the same as functional
testing except with a new-ish data concept, many things in AI/ML are like this. The data is the foreign part to general
software dev.

lockrebase Demo

Creating a Merge Conflict on Purpose

For this demo, we will be using node/javascript and NPM, only because it is sort of a lingua franca.

Let's create a merge conflict. It's pretty easy to do.

  1. Fork a branch, add a dependency.
  2. On the main branch, add another dependency.
  3. Now the poor person on the feature branch will get a merge conflict on the lock file when they "catch up on main".

Railroad Error Handling in Rust
// User password resets could benefit from railroad error handling
// because there are so many things to go wrong along the way
//
// 1. I forgot my password, send me a link
// 2. I got the link, let me enter a new password
// 3. Password and confirmation must match
// 4. Password must be at least 8, etc
// 5. Password was saved successfully
//
// There are many things that can go wrong and having a transaction
