Another fun trick I've discovered.

`XOR[0...n] = 0 ^ 1 .... ^ n = [n, 1, n + 1, 0][n % 4]`

Did you happen to enable "recommendations" in Youtube Mobile App? That would implicitly enable it. I don't have Trending/Shorts because its disabled.

IIRC They were acquired by Amazon. They have a paid offering for shared team environments.

Also since ripgrep is already installed "grep -v" can be replaced with "rg -v"

Reminds me a of a short lived project websocket.email. Instead of webhook, you could listen on websocket for emails. Might be a Pro feature for your project.

New comment by st0le in "Show HN: I made a super simple iOS app to track expenses"

st0le — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 16:46:19 +0000

I had this idea to basically have the Budgeting app look at the notifications on my phone or emails from the bank to parse the transactions details automatically.

On iOS if an app exposes a Shortcut, I could setup a Shortcut Automation to automatically add an expense when a new email from my bank shows up. Would need some REGEX or LLM ;)

st0le — Wed, 05 Oct 2022 16:20:11 +0000

Is there a similar tool that can trigger a command when the output of command changes or the stdout has some kind of string?

I understand this is shell script territory, but a cross-platform tool would be ideal.

The GeoIP provider seems to provide a batch API. You can query upto a 100 IPs in a single request.

One of my most common workflow is I copy the name of a "resource" and have to type out some diagnostic queries.

So I have espanso trigger on a shortcut and autofill queries with the clipboard being used as a placeholder.
