Slack Tweaks

Slack Tweaks

In Fall 2023, Slack introduced an updated client with some unpopular UI changes. The tweaks in this document can be used to revert to the old client or hide the new side bar. These will reset every time you fully close Slack but they are easy to re-apply once you get the hang of it.

(Cross Platform) Open Dev Tools [Preferred Option]

To run any of these scripts, you'll need to open the Dev Tools (or Console). You can do this by typing /slackdevtools in a Slack channel or direct message. These are the same Dev Tools you'd get in Chrome if you hit F12. Along the top are tabs for Elements, Console, Sources, Network, etc. You'll want to paste these scripts into the Console tab at the > prompt.

If Slack disables this command, then you can open Dev Tools by setting a system-wide environment variable and using a keyboard shortcut to open the console. If /slackdevtools worked for you then you can skip these next two sections.

(Mac OS) Enable Dev Mode

Comprehensions in Python the Jedi way

Comprehensions in Python the Jedi way

by Bjørn Friese

Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit.

-- The Zen of Python

I frequently deal with collections of things in the programs I write. Collections of droids, jedis, planets, lightsabers, starfighters, etc. When programming in Python, these collections of things are usually represented as lists, sets and dictionaries. Oftentimes, what I want to do with collections is to transform them in various ways. Comprehensions is a powerful syntax for doing just that. I use them extensively, and it's one of the things that keep me coming back to Python. Let me show you a few examples of the incredible usefulness of comprehensions.
