Some of those are classics, and a few are utterly new (at the least to me), however I hope all of you discover one thing you take pleasure in on this collection.
As we come to the shut of one other yr, it is a good time for wanting again, and searching ahead. What will 2019 maintain for you? What does it imply to be 2019?
I am reminded that 2019 will mark the 20th anniversary of considered one of my favourite science fiction films from my teenage years, that on the time had me pondering quite a bit about what the long run would maintain: The Matrix. For a pc nerd child like me, it was the last word story of a pc programmer rising up and turning into an motion hero in a digital universe by tapping into the facility of his thoughts.
At the time, there was no film that appeared extra futuristic to me; each within the story itself, and within the mesmerizing particular results. Realizing that it was filmed over twenty years in the past does not change that in my thoughts.
Bringing it again to our command-line toy for as we speak, let’s recreate the downward flowing code of the Matrix at our terminal with cmatrix. cmatrix was a straightforward set up for me, packaged for Fedora, so putting in it took merely:
$ dnf set up cmatrixThen, simply sort cmatrix at your terminal to run.
You can discover the supply code for cmatrix on GitHub underneath a GPL license.
Do you will have a favourite command-line toy that you just assume I ought to incorporate? The calendar for this collection is usually stuffed out however I’ve received just a few spots left. Let me know within the feedback under, and I will test it out. If there’s house, I will attempt to embrace it. If not, however I get some good submissions, I will do a round-up of honorable mentions on the finish.
Check out yesterday’s toy, Winterize your Bash prompt in Linux, and test again tomorrow for one more!
