Nim Debugging

I use GDB to debug my Nim code, but by default Nim doesn't output enough information to be usable. I pass --debuginfo --linedir:on to the nim command to fix that.

There is some name mangling, but in most cases things are still understandable. procs have an integer appended to the name, so when setting a breakpoint is done like this: b foo_431313. It's also possible to just line number for breakpoints, which is exactly as you might expect: b mymodule.nim:321.

Simple git-up

To install, download the script on your path, rename it to git-up and chmod +x git-up.

Usage is git up <remote> [params]. It iterates through all the the branches that exist on both local and the remote, and does git rebase $params $remote/$branch $branch. Really simple.

Dependencies are GNU Coreutils and git. Running linux? You'll have them both installed.

#!/usr/bin/env sh

# A wrapper around the Nim compiler to allow for easy scripting of Nim. Puts
# all temporary files in a temporary directory and cleans up after itself.
#
# Usage:
#  - add `#!/usr/bin/env nimrun` at the beginning of your script
#  - execute the nim file with it, for example, `nimrun file.nim args`
#
# Possible future extentions:

##     dataclass:
##       Animal(RootObj)(name: string, age: int)
##       Dog(Animal)(bark: Sound, breed: string)
##       Cat(Animal)(meow: Sound, declawed: bool)
##
## Syntax is `Name(Base)(field1: field1_type, field2: field2_type)`

High Quality Monospace Fonts & Configuration (2013) [Arch Linux] Now with pretty pictures!

Use either [freetype2-git] from the [AUR] or [heftig’s repository] which includes Infinality’s ClearType subpixel hinter. A far superior TrueType font hinter compared with the default implementation. See this [bug report] for more details.

In the following list I have tried to remain objective by comparing only the visual artifacts as described in [The Raster Tragedy]. These include excessive colour fringing, non-uniform stroke widths and oversampling (blurriness caused
