I have the same type of thing. An alias that creates a tempdir that is based on the date, then cd’s into it. Then a cron job that finds dirs that are older then N days old and deletes them. I use these for most of my scratch work. Having several days to look back at what you did and know when you did it is so nice.
Is “ricing” not originally related to customised cars from street racing or something?
It is not, as I learned 18d ago https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/12165688
Riced out is an adjective denigrating a badly customized sports car, “usually with oversized or ill-matched exterior appointments”. … Examples of “rice burner” used literally, meaning one who burns rice or rice fields, as in stubble burning, date to 1917. In 1935 it appeared in a US newspaper caption with a racial connotation, disparaging East Asian people. … In some cases, users of the term assert that it is not offensive or racist, or else treat the term as a humorous, mild insult rather than a racial slur.

Edit: I guess I should say I still think this for a lot of places. When I go to my parents house the first thing I do is drink a big cup of their amazing tap water.
It says it’s a tautology because it’s a tautology.
I did not! Interesting feature.
Not powerful, but often useful, column -t aligns columns in all lines. EG
$ echo {a,bb,ccc}{5,10,9999,888} | xargs -n3
a5 a10 a9999
a888 bb5 bb10
bb9999 bb888 ccc5
ccc10 ccc9999 ccc888
$ echo {a,bb,ccc}{5,10,9999,888} | xargs -n3 | column -t
a5 a10 a9999
a888 bb5 bb10
bb9999 bb888 ccc5
ccc10 ccc9999 ccc888

Great call out! I first used ftp about 30 years ago, and lftp has been my go to for about the last decade. I rarely need it anymore, but I still use it for quickly transferring files with my homebrew switch.
I love jq, but I wouldn’t call it “surprising simple” for anything but pretty-formatting json. It has a fairly steep learning curve for doing anything with all but the simplest operations on the simplest data structures.
Also, you can make yes return anything:

It me, but excel is the bad option and plotly is the good option.
That is awesome!
