My ungainly friend obtained a PhD in palindromes so now he’s Dr. Awkward.

perl -lne 'print if length($_) >= 5 && $_ eq reverse($_)' words-small

Print ten columns of random numbers with BSD tools:

jot -r 100 | rs 10

Perl one-liner to highlight consecutive duplicated words:

perl -pe 's/\b(\w+)\s+\1\b/\e[31m$&\e[0m/gi' gettysburg.txt

Chloroform in print:

A seon of gold was twice the value of a senine, and a shum of gold was four times the value of a senine. A limnah of gold was equal to a senine plus a seon plus a shum. An amnor of silver was as great as two senums of silver. An ezrom of silver was as great as four senums. An onti was as great as a senum plus an amnor plus an ezrom. A shiblon of silver is half of a senum. A shiblum is a half of a shiblon. And a leah is the half of a shiblum. An antion of gold is equal to three shiblons of silver.

We now return you to the Book of Alma already in progress.

Print a range of binary numbers and align right

#!/usr/bin/python3
import sys
a = int(sys.argv[1])
b = int(sys.argv[2])
width = len(format(b, 'b')) 
for i in range(a, b + 1):
    print(format(i, f'>{width}b'))

Constellation name from stellar coordinates:

#!/usr/bin/python3 import sys from astropy import units as u from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord, get_constellation coord=sys.argv[1:] co=" ".join(coord) c=SkyCoord(co, unit=(u.hourangle,u.deg)) print(get_constellation(c,short_name=False))
