Eight must have pre-commit hooks for #python code

Recently there was an article on LinkedIn about how debugger statement was left in the production code (front end javascript) and thus user could not move forward. People commented about the code review. But why invest manual efforts when such things can be automated ? See #4 in the list below. pre-commit hook is an under appreciated (dare I say, unknown) feature of git As the name suggests, set of commands/scripts can be executed before git commit

Announcing my rust project: snb

After learning (and I’m still learning) basics of Rust, I decided that I need to work on real world project to get better understanding of the language and face real problems 😄

Introducing snb ¹ - Superfast notes from the terminal 🎉

Linux Mint may be it

I’ve been using Linux Mint for a while now.

I started using linux because my machine stopped getting macOS updates.

But I always wanted something as stable as macOS

Initially I tried Tuxedo OS.

While it looked nice, there were tiny issues that I couldn’t ignore.

Adding alias to CLI built in #rust

Turns out it is very easy if using clap

My PR related to Rust project got merged 🎉

I’m so happy that my PR ¹ to a new and upcoming #rust framework called Cot was merged yesterday.

@m4tx - Thanks for accepting my contribution 🙏

Linux Mint

I’ve been using Linux on my old MBP since November of last year. I started with OpenSUSE After using it for a month or so, I switched to Tuxedo OS 4 It is based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS but ships with latest KDE Plasma 6. I meant to write about it, but didn’t ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I used it for 3+ months. It was more mainstream than OpenSUSE (because of its Ubuntu base)

Rust: Improve readability in default arm of match statement

#TIL in #rustlang we can use any variable name (starting with _) in ignore path of match

Deepseek : Model vs Web app

There was a post on LinkedIn about how asking DeepSeek to list states of India is not answered. ¹

First of all, why would you ask such a trivial question to it , when you can just search.

We need to consider the difference between search engine and “thinking model” like DeepSeek

It is like asking Einstein help with 10th class Physics exam 😃 - while he may be able to help, his abilities are better suited for more difficult tasks.

Make constraints useful

Recently, I came re-listened to a podcast episode where they discussed about constraints.

Everyone thinks that constraints are bad.

But having some constraints may be good.

Rust Script

After my previous post I came across other ways to “quickly test rust code” Obvious being rust-script It is easy to install via cargo install rust-script (But I had it already installed. I think Espanso installed it, but not too sure) This may be better than rustc because one can define the dependencies in the “script” itself, like : #!/usr/bin/env rust-script //! Dependencies can be specified in the script file itself as follows: //!
