Guide To GNU Coreutils (blog.robertelder.org)
[-] learnbyexample@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

I have a list of learning resources for CLI tools and scripting here: https://learnbyexample.github.io/curated_resources/linux_cli_scripting.html

I've also written a few TUI interactive apps to practice text processing commands like grep, sed, awk, coreutils, etc: https://github.com/learnbyexample/TUI-apps

Why do you think it is a phishing link? Gumroad is a well known platform to sell digital goods.

I mention it is free up to some date because it will go back to being a paid product after that.

Hello!

I am pleased to announce a new version of my Vim Reference Guide ebook.

This is intended as a concise learning resource for beginner to intermediate level Vim users. It has more in common with cheatsheets than a typical text book. Topics like Regular Expressions and Macros have more detailed explanations and examples due to their complexity. I hope this guide would make it much easier for you to discover Vim features and learning resources.

Links:

Did you know that Vim has an easy mode, which is actually very hard to use for those already familiar with Vim? See my blog post for more details!

I would highly appreciate it if you'd let me know how you felt about this book. It could be anything from a simple thank you, pointing out a typo, mistakes in code snippets, which aspects of the book worked for you (or didn't!) and so on. Reader feedback is essential and especially so for self-published authors.

Happy learning :)

I rarely ever use the date command, but when I need it I almost always struggle to get the right incantation. So, wrote a blog post for easy reference.

Do you use a cheatsheet as well?

I wrote a TUI application to help you practice Python regular expressions. There are more than 100 exercises covering both the builtin re and third-party regex module.

If you have pipx, use pipx install regexexercises to install the app. See the repo for source code and other details.

Not my blog, just sharing it here.

That said, I don't see that broken rectangle on Chromium.

Is it regex or sed/awk syntax (or both) that gives you trouble?

I had similar reaction and didn't even try to learn them for years - then I caught the stackoverflow craze of answering CLI questions (and learning from others).

What's the difference between two_percent and skim?

Check out https://novelwriter.io/

I'm not familiar with such softwares (I use pandoc for technical writing), but might help you..

Yeah, it is uncommon spelling, but if you google, you'll find it's not that rare ;)

[-] learnbyexample@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago

You're welcome, happy learning :)

I'm self-published and haven't worked for other publications. Sometimes, my submissions reach HN front page, so you might have seen there or because others picked it up from there and shared around elsewhere.

As per the manual, "Mappings are set up to work like most click-and-type editors" - which is best suited with GUI Vim.

While Vim doesn't make sense to use without the modes, there are plugins like https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode!
