one-line tree in python

One-line Tree in Python

Using Python's built-in defaultdict we can easily define a tree data structure:

def tree(): return defaultdict(tree)

That's it!

Linux users: watch out for last-gen Intel Atom

Linux users: watch out for last-gen Intel Atom

Oops. They did it again.

It hit the market during the last few weeks. Last generation of Intel Atoms: CedarView (D2300, D2500, D2550, D2600, D2700) and Cedar Trail (N2600, N2700, N2800) SoCs integrate a PowerVR GPU from Imagination instead of the usual Intel GPU. If you remember the Poulsbo fiasco, it's the same. More or less.

An unsupported graphic card on Linux distributions, and which can't properly support a basic desktop environnment like Unity or Gnome 3.

To prevent this issue, Intel woke up MeeGo from the dead in last february [to add support for CedarView]

git-unpull: undoes the merge commit created by an accidental 'git pull', plus some added helpful information!
#!/bin/bash
# Reverts HEAD back to ORIG_HEAD, for example after a 'git pull' accidentally
# creates a merge. This is identical to running 'git reset --hard ORIG_HEAD',
# except that unpull prints some helpful information along the way.
# Useage:
# $ git unpull
# HEAD: a0ac0fd Merge branch 'master' of /tmp/foo
# 2284c9d some remote commit
# ORIG_HEAD: 35431fd my local commit
# Really reset HEAD to ORIG_HEAD? (y/n) y

Pybcompgen calculates context sensitive tab-completion data from environment bash system settings
#!/usr/bin/env python
""" pybcompgen
Pybcompgen calculates context sensitive tab-completion data which is
derived from environment bash system settings. It doesn't need to know
anything about whether you use /etc/completion or /etc/bash_completion.d,
all that matters is whether *bash* knows about the completion. The benefit
of doing this are obvious: you get access to all the completion features
that the system has installed without caring how the completion features
work. Note that this approach doesn't just work for things in the users
