Mass File Renaming

The rename command uses a regular expression to modify a list of files given to it.

The regular expression is formatted like as with sed i.e. rename 's/find/replace/' file1 file2 file3

It's installed by default.

The TypeScript "extends" Keyword Doesn't Extend Types

I was looking through the built in TypeScript definition file "lib.es5.d.ts" and found the definition "Pick". //From T pick a set of properties K type Pick<T, K extends keyof T> = {     [P in K]: T[P]; }; In more words: Pick<T,K> is a new type of object whose keys are the set K , which has to be a subset of the keys in T . But when I tried to understand what it was from the code itself, I had some trouble, and the source of that trouble is simply the extends  keyword. We usually use ' A extends B ' to mean  A  has all the keys in  B  and maybe some more, which the English also suggests. But in reality  K must be a subset of T 's keys. What is going on? What is a Type? A type is a set of values based on some rule. e.g. Colour = { red orange yellow ... } If A is a subtype of B, values that match A are a subset of values that match B. The definition of the subtype therefore has to be a narrower ve...

Use Joycons with Steam on Linux

Steam appears to support Joycons. They connect individually but not as a single combined controller. There is a toggle in Steam > Settings > Controller for combining Joycons, but it doesn't do anything. The UI here is also a bit weird because the button appears twice. Looking online there is a suggestion that you need Steam Beta. This doesn't make a difference. The solution was to install this driver: https://github.com/DanielOgorchock/joycond After installation, when you connect a Joycon or Pro Controller, you tap the L and R buttons to tell the driver how your controllers are combined. Now steam recognises it as a single controller. However you will need to connect the controller this way before you start Steam (even for your Pro Controller, which you previously would not have needed to do).

Fix Controller Input when a Game Doesn't Use Steam Input

Background Knowledge Steam Input is an interface for developers to use the controller configuration built into Steam for their games. It is entirely optional and not all games use it. Steam gives you the option to enable and disable Steam Input on a per game basis. Steam has controller button mapping for in-game, Big Picture Mode, and on desktop (outside of games), and mappings for individual games. By default Steam will give certain controllers a desktop mapping that lets you move the mouse and bring up an on-screen keyboard, which is not what you want in a game. If you press F11 in a game and Steam Overlay doesn't appear and you have it configured to appear, Steam thinks that you are not in a game, and therefore it will use the desktop mapping instead of the in-game mapping. Steam Input works by capturing inputs from your controller, suppressing them from the rest of your system and emitting the inputs that you desire instead to the rest of your system. Problem If you are playin...
