# Put this function to your .bashrc file.
# Usage: mv oldfilename
# If you call mv without the second parameter it will prompt you to edit the filename on command line.
# Original mv is called when it's called with more than one argument.
# It's useful when you want to change just a few letters in a long name.
#
# Also see:
# - imv from renameutils
# - Ctrl-W Ctrl-Y Ctrl-Y (cut last word, paste, paste)

I have found this interesting for debugging, but also fun to hear web pages

If you are using Google Chrome and Client SSL Cert and you are tired of constantly selecting certificates, try this:

1. Download and extract Chrome policy templates from here: http://dl.google.com/dl/edgedl/chrome/policy/policy_templates.zip
2. Start the Local Group Policy Editor: Start > Run > gpedit.msc > OK
3. Right-click on Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates and choose Add/Remove Templates…
4. Click Add…, choose policy_templates\windows\adm\en-US\chrome.adm (from the already downloaded and extracted policy templates) and click Open (Note: if your Windows language is different from en-US choose the chrome.adm from the respective language folder)
5. Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Classic Administrative Templates (ADM) > Google > Google Chrome > Content Settings
6. Double-click on Automatically select client certificates for these sites
7. Click Enabled
8. Click Show… in the Options pane

How to recover lost Python source code if it's still resident in-memory

I screwed up using git ("git checkout --" on the wrong file) and managed to delete the code I had just written... but it was still running in a process in a docker container. Here's how I got it back, using https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyrasite/ and https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncompyle6

Attach a shell to the docker container

Install GDB (needed by pyrasite)

apt-get update && apt-get install gdb

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.
