In our latest devlog we want to tell you about The Curse of The Séance of Blake Manor, the strange occurrences that bled from the game into the real world and nearly killed us along the way...

redirects

(from "The Secret Rules of the Terminal", out now! wizardzines.com/zines/termin...)
redirect to a file: cmd > file.txt terminal emulator into program, program out to file.txt, error out to terminal emulator append to a file: cmd >> file.txt terminal emulator into program, program out to file.txt (append mode), error out to terminal emulator send a file to stdin: cmd < file.txt file.txt into program, program out and err to terminal emulator redirect stderr to a file: cmd 2 > file.txt terminal emulator into program, program out to nowhere, err out to file.txt redirect stdout AND stderr: cmd > file.txt 2>&1 terminal emulator into program, out and err to file.txt pipe stdout: cmd1 | cmd2 terminal emulator into program 1, 1 out to program 2 via pipe, 2 out to command line, program 2 out 1 and 2 to terminal emulator pipe stdout AND stderr: cmd1 2>&1 | cmd2 terminal emulator into program 1, 1 and 2 out to program 2 via pipe, program 2 out 1 and 2 to terminal emulator three gotchas cmd file.txt > file.txt will delete the contents of file.txt some people use set -o noclobber (in bash/zsh) to avoid this but I just have “never read from redirect to the same file” seared into my memory. sudo echo blah > /root/file.txt doesn’t write to /root/file.txt as root. Instead, do: echo blah | sudo tee /root/file.txt or sudo sh -c 'echo blah > /root/file.txt' cmd 2>&1 > file.txt doesn’t write both stdout and stderr to file.txt. Instead, do: cmd > file.txt 2>&1 cat vs < I almost always prefer to do: cat file.txt | cmd instead of cmd < file.txt it works fine & it feels better to me using cat can be slower if if’s a GIANT file though &> and &| some shells support &> and &| to redirect/pipe both stdout and stderr (also some shells use |& instead of &|)

Rather than spend 10 minutes manually exporting a bunch of Audacity clips to wav files, I asked AI if I could script that. “Of course!” 5 hours later, round about 2:00 AM, it was working flawlessly. Plus now I have a neat collection of 6 Audacity versions across 3 installation methods. Win-win!

Be wary of anything that enables you to fuck things up faster than you could on your own. This applies to AI in exactly the same way it applies to table saws.

Today, we’re announcing the preview release of ty, an extremely fast type checker and language server for Python, written in Rust.

In early testing, it's 10x, 50x, even 100x faster than existing type checkers. (We've seen >600x speed-ups over Mypy in some real-world projects.)

Let’s just take a minute to remember the original MCP.
Still from Tron, showing the character Master Control Program.
