One of my background projects this year is reducing the paid services that my software company, Pulse Storm, makes use of. These aren’t gigantic costs, but sales of Commerce Bug and No Frills Magento Layout have steadily declined as Adobe has methodically retired the Magento brand and the Open Source version of Magento has become an almost private project used exclusively by official Magento partner agencies. The Services Step one was movin..

Which is fine - it’s reporting errors, after all. So, if you want to capture the output to a file in Linux/Bash, you need to do it like this: $ black --check . 2> black-report.txt or like this to also output to the console, so you can see it: $ black --check . 2> >( tee -a black-report.txt > &2 ) Bash has a shortcut for this, but you lose the return code from black: $ black --check . |& tee black..

I came across this little GIF of someone carving a little burger boy on imgur . As far as I can’t, the poster of this GIF isn’t the original carver. Doing a quick google doesn’t show any burger boys that are similar to this. Hopefully I’m not stealing some beloved character. It’s just a thing I thought was cool. Reference: First Attempt The lighting is way too much and I need to add some texture onto the patty.

The Army has a strange relationship with words. On the one hand, precision means everything: the term “seize” means something very different to a ground forces commander than the term “secure”. On the other hand, “leader” has become an umbrella term for both the entire force in general and the select few in command positions specifically. This has little impact on non-commissioned and warrant officers who — for the most part — will never ..

最近准备做一些 RSS 相关的工作，但是发现除了 RSS 协议之外官方还提供了个 Atom 协议，算是继承自 RSS 并且进行了一些扩展，相对要比 RSS 复杂很多，而网上也没找到中文资料，阅读文档的时候就想着看都看了，那就顺便（并不）翻译成中文吧。 1. 介绍 Atom 是一种基于 XML 的文档格式，主要用于描述 Feed 相关的信息列表。 Feeds 流由很多 entries（条目）组成，每个条目都包含一组可扩展的附加元数据，例如标题等等。 1.1 实例 一个简短的单项 Atom Feed 文档：

Python and Assembly have one thing in common: as a professional software engineer, they are both languages that you probably should know how to read, but be terrified to write. These languages seem to be (and are) at opposite ends of the spectrum: One is almost machine code, and the other is almost a scripting language. One is beginner-friendly and the other is seen as hostile to experts. One is viciously versatile with tons of libraries an..

The Nextcloud snap updates automatically. By default it might happen any time, although you can configure that. The snap provides a wonderful, user-friendly indicator that an upgrade is happening: it will become unresponsive and unvisitable until the upgrade has finished. Okay, I’m kidding, this is terrible and something we know we need to work on. My point is, there are times when your snap isn’t responding properly, and you want to know W..

On linux, you can create aliases for commonly used commands. These can be pretty much anything you like. Here’s an example, which creates a command called ports, which runs the stuff in quotes: # List all the ports that are currently open, with the processes that are listening alias ports = "sudo netstat -tulpn | grep '^tcp' | awk '{print \$ 1, \$ 4, \$ 7}' | sort -n | uniq | column -t" On Windows, PowerShell does suppo....

Quoting [Nelson’s weblog][3]: Goodreads lost my entire account last week. Nine years as a user, some 600 books and 250 carefully written reviews all deleted and unrecoverable. Their support has not been helpful. In 35 years of being online I’ve never encountered a company with such callous disregard for their users’ data. Ouch. A lesson learned the hard way: My plan now is to host my own blog-like collection of all my reading not..

Lately, I am constantly refreshing the news about the war, and waiting for word from family in Ukraine. I am not sure what Putin thinks the end-game is here. Taking Ukraine for Russia? Installing a puppet regime? Has he not seen what Ukrainians have been willing to go through for their freedom? Does the bunker he crawled into not have Internet access to see what’s happening? Even if he manages to control the country by force for a while, Uk..

View from the campground southwards, across the partially frozen lake. Summary: 5.5 mile round-trip snowshoe from Kachess Sno-Park to Kachess Campground. Kachess Lake Road (from the I-90 to Kachess Sno-Park) was completely clear of snow, so very easy to access the trailhead. Even though we arrived at midday on a Saturday, there were still plenty of spaces. Parking is on the right side of the road, with a big turning circle at..

There's a recent reddit post asking how to view webp images in Emacs . I didn't know the answer, but it's something I had wanted for some time. This post was a nice reminder to go and check things out. Was happy to contribute an answer . Turns out, it's very simple. Just set image-use-external-converter and install relevant external tools. (setq image-use-external-converter t) I'm a use-package user, so I prefer to set with: (use-pa....

Over most of the ten years I've been using git, I've been a strong proponent of merging over rebasing. It seemed more honest to avoid rewriting commits and more likely to produce a complete history. There are also problems that arise when you rewrite shared history, and you can avoid those entirely if you just never rewrite history at all. While all of this is true, the hidden costs of the approach came to play an increasing role in my thin....

Lately, everyone seems to want to talk about technology risk. I am not referring to cybersecurity risks, I am referring to the big operational types of risks (outside your information security program) that could cause a sizable impact to your business.

I use Hugo for my personal website - https://www.unsungnovelty.org . At present I use Bulma CSS for it. But I am working on a redesign with Tailwind CSS . During my search, I found articles on how to add Tailwind CSS to Hugo confusing. And at times bloated. So here is an attempt to tell you how to add Tailwind CSS to Hugo in the most minimal way. The goal is a simple and straight forward setup for Tailwind CSS in your Hugo website. Al....

This book stands up to its fame. It’s chock-full of precious insights on our decision-making and behavioral processes and how and why we humans are often capable of making informed yet awful decisions. The bad news is that we can hardly avoid most of these biases, no matter how hard we try and even if we know about them. So-called experts in the field are subject to these same biases: their short-term estimates and predictions can even be p..
