  • Thanks! I'm currently using DozeCal (which defaults to base 12 on every launch, which is fun, but not usually what I want), and 48sx, which is cool but I don't know how to use it well, and some common actions are buried.

  • It is very good, and I am currently using it. I don't like its dependencies on GTK stuff, the developer is a little picky about what to support, and I dislike the +options style. Other than that, 👍 .

    Also great: Wezterm, Konsole, Rio. I'm excitedly following Rio's development, which has a much smaller dependency list, and hopping back and forth between it and Ghostty/Wezterm. But it's still got some things to iron out and features to develop.

  • It's been a while, but my clumsy adding of a comment to the buffer is unnecessary, given zle -M, which will display a message outside of the buffer. So here's an updated version:

     bash
        
# -- Run input if single line, otherwise insert newline --
# Key: enter
# Credit: https://programming.dev/comment/2479198
.zle_accept-except-multiline () {
  if [[ $BUFFER != *$'\n'* ]] {
    zle .accept-line
    return
  } else {
    zle .self-insert-unmeta
    zle -M 'Use alt+enter to submit this multiline input'
  }
}
zle -N       .zle_accept-except-multiline
bindkey '^M' .zle_accept-except-multiline  # Enter

# -- Run input if multiline, otherwise insert newline --
# Key: alt+enter
# Credit: https://programming.dev/comment/2479198
.zle_accept-only-multiline () {
  if [[ $BUFFER == *$'\n'* ]] {
    zle .accept-line
  } else {
    zle .self-insert-unmeta
  }
}
zle -N         .zle_accept-only-multiline
bindkey '^[^M' .zle_accept-only-multiline  # Enter

  • Recommended way to run my scripts from a venv?

    Jump

  • Sure, but nox is the closer counterpart for in-venv-task definitions. List "sessions" with -l, pick specific sessions to run with -s. 

     python
        
import nox
from nox.sessions import Session

nox.options.reuse_existing_virtualenvs = True
APP_NAME = 'logging_strict'

@nox.session(python='3.12')
def mypy(session: Session):
    """Static type checker (in strict mode)"""
    session.install('-U', 'mypy', '.')
    session.run('mypy',  '-p', APP_NAME, *session.posargs)

    Unfortunately it doesn't currently do any parallel runs, but if anyone wants to track/encourage/contribute in that regard, see nox#544.

  • As someone's new comments just brought me back to this post, I'll point out that these days there's another good option: uv run.

  • No, I don't use GHA locally, but the actions are defined to run the same things that I do run locally (e.g. invoke nox). I try to keep the GHA-exclusive boilerplate to a minimum. Steps can be like:

     
            - name: fetch code
      uses: actions/checkout@v4

    - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
      with:
        allow-prereleases: true
        python-version: |
          3.13
          3.12
          3.11
          3.10
          3.9
          3.8
          3.7

    - run: pipx install nox

    - name: run ward tests in nox environment
      run: nox -s test test_without_toml combine_coverage --force-color
      env:
        PYTHONIOENCODING: utf-8

    - name: upload coverage data
      uses: codecov/codecov-action@v4
      with:
        files: ./coverage.json
        token: ${{ secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN }}

    Sometimes if I want a higher level interface to tasks that run nox or other things locally, I use taskipy to define them in my pyproject.toml, like:

     
            [tool.taskipy.tasks]
    fmt = "nox -s fmt"
    lock = "nox -s lock"
    test = "nox -s test test_without_toml typecheck -p 3.12"
    docs = "nox -s render_readme render_api_docs"

  • Yet another "What distro should I use?" post, but at least I did some homework.

  • If you choose to give Fedora a try, I recommend Ultramarine, which has more set up from the start, including their "Terrs" repository with more updated packages.

  • For me: Wezterm. It does pretty much everything. I don't think Alacritty/Kitty etc. offer anything over it for my usage, and the developer is a pleasure to engage with.

    Second place is Konsole -- it does a lot, is easy to configure, and obviously integrates nicely with KDE apps.

    Honorable mention is Extraterm, which has been working on cool features for a long time, and is now Qt based.

  • Is Telegram really an encrypted messaging app?

  • Just note that the comment was inaccurate, in that their weird encryption is indeed open source at least.

  • Anyone knows if it's possible to color command line commands as you type them (kind of like an editor)?
