when doing headless shell scripting i debug with notify-send

i3wm having urgency cues was the single greatest thing any DE/WM has ever done.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Could you please point me to docs about this or keywords i should search with? This sounds interesting, but a quick search with i3 and urgency cues gave me nothing.

i believe they're referred to in documentation as "urgency hints" it should be in the user guide. heres the guide just do a ctrl f for urgency, it should pop some stuff up. It's also a default config option for the base file.

Thank you, i'll take a look!

the user guide while rather terse and not verbose, is still incredibly detailed, and often includes a good bit of information to get you where you need to be.

Printing Butt is fun and all, but if I'm at the point of logging nonsense, it is usually a stronger word.

ah yes, counting from 2, because as everyone knows "" is one

You put in that first “here” thinking it’ll be the only one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

that's always how it is.

And eventually it becomes second nature. lol

Often we use

outline : red 1px solid;

, that's clean!

i'm more of a background-color:red; guy myself

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

My problem is that I do red, blue, green then can't think of any more clearly visible colours.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I often use magenta, pink, cyan and purple, too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Purple, yellow, pink, light blue, …

Wow, and here I was trying to set breakpoints using the devtools debugger and faffing around with sourcemaps.

Wish I knew about this 10 years ago!

Is it too late?! Are you still webdevvving? 😃

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Damn, this looks handy. Thanks for sharing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

My pleasure! Though I'm gonna be honest, I mostly use console.debug(). 😇

Me: “Is bugger a term that denotes a bugged state?
Senior: “No. That’s just what I have it print to show if something has failed.”

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I like to call pair-programming sessions (for bugs) "bebuggery sessions" at work and people haven't complained yet.
