If you containerize your Python application using docker-compose.yml, you can easily run and debug the application in PyCharm. Before starting, ensure that no related Docker containers or Python apps are running and occupying the (exposed) ports.

• Open PyCharm
• Go to: Add New Interpreter
• Pick: On Docker Compose
• Pick Server: Docker
• Pick Configuration files: ./docker-compose.yml
• Pick Service: name of the service you want to start and debug
• Set Environment Variables: add some env vars if desired and not covered by the docker-compose.yml or Dockerfile and click next

If your macOS dark OS appearance automatically changes back to light mode after installing and starting f.lux, you may be using the color effect called MacOS Dark theme Dark theme at sunset, which toggles light/dark mode.

Personally, I don't use those color effects, but I have heard that other effects will not toggle the dark/light mode automatically.

Tested

• MacOS Ventura v13.3.1
• f.lux v42.1 (https://justgetflux.com/)

In some cases, the default zsh shell isn't desired or working. Switching temporary or permanent is easily doable. At first, check the currently active shell, list all available shells, and ultimately change the default shell.

Display the path of the currently active shell

➜  ~ echo $SHELL
/bin/zsh

List all acceptable shells

If you're using the Atom editor for taking notes, consider setting the default language grammar to Markdown instead of Plain Text. To do this, navigate to the ~/.atom directory, open the CoffeeScript init.coffee (~/.atom/init.coffee) and append the following code snippet to it:

# source.gfm => GitHub Flavored Markdown
atom.workspace.observeTextEditors (editor) ->
 if !editor.getPath()

My Tabnine Pro subscription expired the other day, and renewing didn’t work because of UI-related issues in multiple different browsers. The UI issues forced me to create a new Tabnine account and to subscribe with that one. However, my JetBrains IDEs, such as PHPStorm, PyCharm, and IntelliJ, started showing a warning next to the tabninPro IDE plugin info and the Pro features stopped showing up.

It seemed that the JetBrains Plugin kept using the stored login credentials from the previous account with no subscription in place. Unfortunately, simply visiting the tabnine website from within my IDE via Open Tabnine Hub didn’t help to enforce the IDE plugin using my new credentials.

What helped was to delete the IDE, its internal browser cache and cookies that are being used by tabnine.

To do so, go to the following URLs and make sure you’re logged out:

• https://beta-hub.tabnine.com/v9/home
• https://app.tabnine.com/profile/subscription

If you encounter an extra percent mark at the end of the command output (e.g., %), it's likely caused by the PROMPT_EOL_MARK. To fix this issue, you can either export the following environment variables for the current shell session or add them to your bash or zsh configuration file to make the changes permanent.

export PROMPT_CR
export PROMPT_SP
export PROMPT_EOL_MARK=''
