Local clones and bundles are cool. I used to use hg bundle for one-off transport workflows back in the day. An offline cheat sheet of those git commands comes in hand occasionally, too.

Thank you. I will use this.

Oh. Thanks for the tip. This might make me finally embrace powershell. I’ve been using WSL+zsh+fzf as a Windows CLI for continuity with day job Mac tools, but git CLI performance is only usable inside the WSL file system.

Happy to note after a couple years using S-Gear that I tinker with it less than I expected and haven't been seriously tempted to buy an amp. I think having the option to try all the presets is satisfying enough, whereas with amps I wou

It’s a little heavy, but I can say it runs fine in a 1 GB VPS, with the addition of a 1 GB swap file to compile the front end during installation and upgrade.

Yep. There are even settings to require a login to view any content, designed for private instances such as for classrooms, which effectively locks down the instance. That’s how I use it for my family.

Ah, they have a card in progress for a one-click Digital Ocean install [1]. Fantastic! This is an incredible open source project to watch, not your typical library or system service, but a real, polished app. Polls functionality is in maste

I set up a private Mastodon server for my family several weeks ago and we're loving it. It's a mighty impressive Rails/React app, very well designed and implemented. I have a few minor UI quibbles based on experience with twi

I spent some time recently cleaning up my Putty sessions. My goal was to control all colors in the Putty settings and have everything look good with tmux, bash, and emacs out of the box. The result was basically what the OP arrived at. It w

Very nice, thanks for the tutorial. I see that TBLFM saves some coding vs. the gist in [2].

Interesting use of orgmode as a database. How does it work? Does that use a built in agenda functionality or are you calling lower level org functions to query your agenda files and enumerating the results to generate the table as text in a

I often get stuck somewhere between a one-off keyboard macro and finding a pre-written full-blown mode but resist learning the techniques and functions needed to do this powerful in between workflow automation. Care to share a snippet?

When this article came up last year I thought about grooving a metal spatula with the Dremel, although I've not gotten around to it partly because I have never seen a bristle come off my brush and I always oil the grill with a paper to

Then there is the SEP IRA, which is an IRA with large limits but only your employer can contribute. I’m very thankful for my Fidelity SEP IRA with access to every product a taxable brokerage account would offer (except margin). That said, w

That’s a good coup. Did it bleed into your family’s other circles outside the family at all?

There is certainly object detection available on the cameras and behavioral analysis applied to this information and POS data in aggregation software at the store and chain level for both loss prevention and marketing reasons. Maybe not use

Ah. I wonder if that's why Capital One's login is down. I'm a little surprised their app isn't more resilient, but this is the second multi-hour outage I've noticed in the past couple months.

I have found the learning curve to be very steep. Extension points are several, subtle, and powerful, leveraging heavily not only normal OOP but also python meta programming. It is not out of the question go beyond all that and monkey patch

Downvote? Both points were stated in the FAQ. I did extrapolate from Go to the installation point.

I mean simple in terms of the theoretical possibility of a single binary vs. any form of local compilation, packaging, or dependencies. In practice, I didn’t check, maybe they depend on other native libraries and installation is more than d

It's tuned to the preferences of another company; if you prefer their taste on the finer points, that's one. Secondly, it's written in Go, so installation should be simpler.

waf continues to be the underappreciated gem in this space: high level build language supporting many languages and tools, cross platform, implemented and extensible in Python, nothing to install (except Python), and fast.

“They give up more easily. They have quite avoidant coping tendencies when things can't be perfect.” That, of course, hinders them from the very success that they want to achieve. In his 60-plus studies focusing on athletes, for examp

Well, that's one piece of information the investigators got somehow, but we don't know where the evidence started (I hope we find out if it goes to trial). Anti-money laundering laws and foreign bank account reporting requirements

Only about a dozen of the 20,000 or so bee species worldwide are managed. After the honeybee, Apis mellifera, only three species are widely used in the U.S.: two cannot be woken from their winter’s sleep in time for almond bloom, and the t

Ugh. Google Calendar reminders are handled perfectly on Android. You get a notification, and it stays there every time you look at your phone until you clear it. On iOS, even with Google Calendar installed, you get the notification one time

And not to mention general sleep and mood issues. It doesn't take many days in a row with a couple evening beers for me to get cranky. I'm sure alcohol affects everyone differently, but "flowing" just sounds like a reci
