Not my site, just sharing a link I saw on HN.

I’m not the site author, just submitting the link.

Not sure which part you need to be logged in to view - I’m seeing links to different articles and exercises and they are all visible without logging (I checked in an incognito window).

I have a list of learning resources for CLI tools and scripting here: https://learnbyexample.github.io/curated_resources/linux_cli_scripting.html

I’ve also written a few TUI interactive apps to practice text processing commands like grep, sed, awk, coreutils, etc: https://github.com/learnbyexample/TUI-apps

Why do you think it is a phishing link? Gumroad is a well known platform to sell digital goods.

I mention it is free up to some date because it will go back to being a paid product after that.

I started reading progression fantasy on Royal Road earlier this year (a site for posting web serials). Here’s my current follow list (excluding stories that are on hiatus):

• The Runic Artist — isekai, rune-based crafting, good mix of action and slice-of-life
• The Broken Knife — Kobold MC with a dragon companion, dark but compelling read, excellent worldbuilding
• Demon World Boba Shop — cozy isekai, nice characters
• Dual Wielding — slow burn, tale of two friends (both very talented), writing is good, action scenes get dark and intense
• Legends and Librarians — cozy romance, magical library (not litrpg/progression), plenty of cute creatures
• An Otherworldly Scholar — isekai, teacher MC, good worldbuilding, nice romance, great characters, plenty of twists, adventure and danger, especially enjoyed the slice-of-life stuff
• Archmage from Another World: Gaining Administrator Access — isekai from another fantasy world, lighthearted fun with good set of characters, no looming world-level threats so far
• Underkeeper — MC is a recent magical academy graduate, good at magic but works as underkeeper (no money/connections to join adventurer groups), got darker than I’m comfortable with, but loved the characters and the demon companion
• Immovable Mage — good worldbuilding, characters, plot twists and detailed magic system, clever use of plot events pushes MC towards OP, would suggest to read at least till the end of 2nd arc
• Level One God — likeable MC, cool magic stuff I haven’t seen before, some bad moments are really dark, good writing
• Spire’s Spite — criminally underrated with only 100+ followers, mostly been spire climbing so far, good magic system, dark and has some stuff I don’t like but overall I’ve enjoyed it
• Blood Curse Academia — overall I enjoyed the combination of action, learning and mystery, but a lot of weird coincidences and stuff didn’t make sense
• Mana Mirror — loved the concept of mana garden and the myriad customization options, writing and plot was easy to follow, third volume is the best so far
• The Maid Is Not Dead — writing felt like traditionally published epic fantasy with progression elements, slow burn but events are starting to escalate
• Dark Lord’s Last Call — MC’s soul is swapped with the dark lord, plans to open a tavern, enjoyable light-hearted read
• Orphan — I usually ignore the litrpg math but this one takes it a bit too far! characters all have flaws (though sometimes it becomes a bit too irritating), good worldbuilding and mystery
• Rules of Biomancy — 70 year old herbalist MC with a secret past comes across two isekai-ed people in danger of dying and decides to help, enjoying a lot

Not my blog, just sharing it here.

That said, I don’t see that broken rectangle on Chromium.

Is it regex or sed/awk syntax (or both) that gives you trouble?

I had similar reaction and didn’t even try to learn them for years - then I caught the stackoverflow craze of answering CLI questions (and learning from others).

oxipng, pngquant and svgcleaner for optimizing images

auto-editor for removing silent portions from video recordings

What’s the difference between two_percent and skim?

I’m not familiar with such softwares (I use pandoc for technical writing), but might help you…

Yeah, it is uncommon spelling, but if you google, you’ll find it’s not that rare ;)

You’re welcome, happy learning :)

I’m self-published and haven’t worked for other publications. Sometimes, my submissions reach HN front page, so you might have seen there or because others picked it up from there and shared around elsewhere.

As per the manual, “Mappings are set up to work like most click-and-type editors” - which is best suited with GUI Vim.

While Vim doesn’t make sense to use without the modes, there are plugins like https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode!

I had to learn Linux CLI tools, Vim and Perl at my very first job. Have a soft spot for Perl, despite not using it much these days other than occasional one-liners (mainly for advanced regex features).

Thanks a lot for the kind words! Means a lot to me :)

Thanks! 😊

I’m a bit active on book-related forums. I post reviews of books I’ve read, give book recommendations, etc. In this case, the author contacted me based on my reviews.

Like alpha, beta, gamma readers. Used by authors to get feedback at various stages of their book before it is published. Alpha stage is very rough, like first draft. Not sure where the line lies between beta and gamma stage, but they are close to finished works - only typos and minor changes would be made based on reader feedback.

For indie authors, beta readers often help to get a few reviews out close to book publication.
