functools.total_ordering makes adding all of six of the rich comparison operators to your custom classes much easier, and more likely that you remember all of them.
From the Docs: The class must define one of __lt__(), __le__(), __gt__(), or __ge__ In addition, the class should supply an __eq__() method.
one of these
- lt()
- le()
- gt()
- ge()
and required to have this one
- eq()
Here is an example using the Enum I was working on the other day.
from enum import Enum, auto
from functools import total_ordering
@total_ordering
class LifeCycle(Enum):
configure = auto()
glob = auto()
load = auto()
pre_render = auto()
render = auto()
post_render = auto()
save = auto()
def __lt__(self, other):

return self.value < other.value

return self.value == other.value

Smoother Python with automatic imports | pyflyby
This is not a flaky works half the time kind of plugin, it’s a seriously smooth
editing experience. I’ve just started using pyflyby, and it is solid so far.
I have automatic imports on every save of a python file in neovim, and
automatic imports on every command in ipython.
I can’t tell you how pumped I am for this, and how good its felt to use over
the past few weeks. It’s glorious.

them up.

You must use augroup with autocmd in vim | Here's how
If you are running vim autocmd’s without a group, you’re killing your
performance. Granted your probably not sourcing your vimscript files with
autocmd’s too often, but every time you source that vimscript you are adding
another command that needs to run redundantly.

This is what I had # [1]
Not silky smooth
For WAAY too long I have had something like this in my vimrc or init.vim.
It formats my python for me on every save, works great except if I source my
dotfiles more than once I start adding how many times black runs.
autocmd bufwritepre *.py execute 'Black'
Why is a bare autocmd bad # [2]
let me demonstrate
Lets create a new file called format.vim and give it the :so %. Works
great, it starts telling me that its formatting.
autocmd bufwritepre *.py :echo("formatting with black")
too-many-formats [3]
BUT as every time I give it the :so % it formats an extra time on every
single save.

Code Review from the comfort of vim | Diffurcate
I often review Pull requests from the browser as it just makes it so easy to see
the diffs and navigate through them, but there comes a time when the diffs get
really big and hard to follow. That’s when its time to bring in the comforts of
vim.

Plugins needed # [1]
This all stems from the great plugin by
AndrewRadev [2]. It breaks a down
into a project. So rather than poping into a pager from git [3] diff,
you can pipe to diffurcate and it will setup a project in a tmp
directory for you and you can browse this project just like any
other except it’s just a diff.

Open files FAST from zsh | or bash if thats your thing
https://youtu.be/PQw_is7rQSw
I am often in a set of tmux splits flying back and forth, accidentally close my
editor, so when I come back to that split and hit my keybinds to edit files I
enter them into zsh rather than into nvim like I intended. Today I am going to
sand off that rough edge and get as similar behavior to nvim as I can with a
couple of aliases.
Make sure you check out the YouTube video to see all of my improvements.
what’s an alias # [1]
If you have never heard of an alias before it’s essentially a shortcut to a
given command. You can pass additional flags to the underlying command and
they will get passed in. Most of the time they are just shorter versions of
commands that you run often or even like in this case a common muscle memory
typo that occurs for you.
My new alias’s for fuzzy editing files from zsh # [2]
Here are the new aliases that I came up with to smooth out my workflow. These
give me a similar feel to how these keys work in neovim but from zsh.

How linux users install a text editor
In honor of the neovim 0.6.0 release, I decided to do a funny skit installing
neovim, and fix up my install script in the process as part of my challenge to
fix up my dotfiles. I ran into one snag where I was not updating the repo that
I cloned. I moved it to the directory I now keep third-party git [1] repos and set
it to update with ansible.
https://youtu.be/64oKLphhBuo
The thing that took me the longest to realize was…. I had a path issue
pointing me to an old install of the appimage over the fresh build, fixed that
up and now we are on 0.7.0 nightly.

30 days dotfile ricing

I am challenging myself to 30 days of dotfile ricing. I have been on linux
desktop for a few months now and have a pretty good workflow going, I have the
coarse edits done to my workflow, but it has some rough edges that need sanded
down. It’s time to squash some of those little annoyances that still exist in
my setup.
This is primarily going to be focused on productivity, but may have a few
things to just look better. This will comprise heavily of aliases, zsh, and
nvim config.

When I’m not wrangling data pipeline platforms or building web platforms,
