tmux last session

https://youtu.be/RB87EEnnMnU An ultimate productivity key-binding in tmux is one to switch to the last session. I use this to quickly get between sessions really quick. Often I am working and need to lookup a quick note, or copy something into my notes, then get back to where I was quickly. bind -n M-b switch-client -l I think of this hub and spoke model, and use last-session to quickly drive it.

tmux floating popups

https://youtu.be/2ZqFDsJywt8 Tmux popups are actually floating windows that you can drag around the screen. They always open in the middle (by default) when you open them, no matter where you leave them. Here are a couple of keybindings I use to open up popup windows. bind C-g display-popup -E "ta ~/git" bind -n M-g display-popup -E "tmux new-session -A -s scratch" How I navigate tmux in 2021 [1] for more information on how I navigate tmux, check out this full post References: [1]: /tmux-nav-2021/

tmux popups

https://youtu.be/2I8fB28zfB4 Tmux-popups are a great feature that is relatively new to tmux, many repos such as the standard ubuntu repos do not have it. Popups came in 3.2a, if your package manager does not have it, you can follow the tmux’s install instructions [1] to build from source. # open a popup scratchpad bind -n M-g display-popup -E "tmux new-session -A -s scratch" How I navigate tmux in 2021 [2] for more information on how I navigate tmux, check out this full post I use popups quite a bit in my workflow to ssh into another machine for a short period, or make a new project with a template.

Incremental Versioned Datasets in Kedro

Kedro versioned datasets can be mixed with incremental and partitioned datasets to do some timeseries analysis on how our dataset changes over time. Kedro is a very extensible and composible framework, that allows us to build solutions from the individual components that it provides. This article is a great example of how you can combine these components in unique ways to achieve some powerful results with very little work. What is Kedro [1] 👆 Unsure what kedro is? Check out this post. How does our dataset change over time?? # [2] This was a question presented to me at work. We had some plots being produces as the output of our pipeline and the user wanted the ability to compare results over time. Luckily this was asked early in the project so we were able to proactively setup versioning on the right datasets. To enable this all we needed to do now was to add versioned: true and we will be able to compare results over time. Yes kedro makes it that easy to setup. set up a proje...

Using Kedro In Scripts

With the latest releases of kedro 0.17.x, it is now possible to run kedro pipelines from within scripts. While I would not start a project with this technique, it will be a good tool to keep in my back pocket when I want to sprinkle in a bit of kedro goodness in existing projects.

First kedro needed a conf directory, if you tried to fake one in it would then ask for logging setup. These errors just kept coming to the point it wasnt worth doing and I might as well use a proper template for real projects and stick to simple function calls for things that are not a kedro project.

Silence Kedro Logs

Kedro can have a chatty logger. While this is super nice in production so see everything that happened during a pipeline run. This can be troublesome while trying to implement a cli extension with clean output. Silence a Python log # [1] First, how does one silence a python log? Python loggers can be retrieved by the logging module’s getLogger function. Then their log level can be changed. Much of kedro’s chattiness comes from INFO level logs. I don’t want to hear about anything for my current use case unless it’s essential, i.e., a failure. In this case, I set the log levels to ERROR as most errors should stop execution anyways. python logging levels # [2] Level Numeric value CRITICAL 50 ERROR 40 WARNING 30 INFO 20 DEBUG 10 NOTSET 0 Get or Create a logger # [3] Getting a python logger is straightforward if we know the name of the logger.

How I navigate tmux in 2021

change_speed = (speed) => [...document.querySelectorAll('video')].map(v => v.playbackRate=v.playbackRate+speed) In 2021 I changed the way I navigate between tmux sessions big time. Now I can create, kill, switch with ease, and generally keep work separated into logical groups. Update # [1] Since making this post, I have made ~20 other posts in short form that all have a YouTube video to go along with them you can find them all on my tmux-playlist [2]. Chris Toomey’s [3] Tmux Course # [4] I took Chris’s tmux course [5] in December 2020 and it was fantastic. Even as a seasoned tmux user, I learned quite a bit. Before the course, I was proficient in navigating within each of my tmux sessions but rarely started more than one session. A few months later, I have adopted a lot of what I learned from Chris and made it my own. I am now keeping projects to their own session and can move between them fluidly with just a few keystrokes. For high-traffic projects, I have them bound to a si...

What is if __name__ == "__main___", and how do I use it.

change_speed = (speed) => [...document.querySelectorAll('video')].map(v => v.playbackRate=v.playbackRate+speed) When a python module is called it is assigned the __name__ of __main__ otherwise if it’s imported it will be assigned the __name__ of the module. Concrete example # [1] Let’s create a module to play with __name__ a bit. We will call this module nodes.py. It is a module that we may want to run by it’self or import and use in other modules. #!python # nodes.py if __name__ == "nodes": import sys import __main__ print(f"you have imported me {__name__} from {sys.modules['__main__'].__file__}") if __name__ == "__main__": print("you are running me as main") I have set this module up to execute one of two if statements based on whether the module it’self is being ran or if the module is being imported. Note it is not common to have a if __name__ == "nodes": block, this is just for demnonstration purposes. running python nodes.py # [2] Running a python script with the...
