  • I got tired of looking up the options for each possible combination of archiving + compression, so today I have a “magic” bash function that can extract almost any format.

    Then for compressing, I only use zip, which doesn’t need any args other than the archive name and the thing you’re compressing. It needs -r when recursing on dirs, but unlike “eXtract” and “Ze”, that’s a good mnemonic.



















  • fwiw, VS Code has 3 “tooling areas” - for the lack of a better name - other than the editor itself:

    A panel (bottom area) and two sidebars: primary (usually on the left) and secondary (usually on the right).

    You can drag and drop tabs in each of these areas to move things around, and even split one of these areas to hold two or more things.

    e.g.:

    • you can make the sidebar share “file explorer” and “git”;
    • put “terminal” and “outline” together on the secondary side bar;
    • move “docker” to the bottom panel

    it’s pretty flexible
