#TIL
#Rider has a couple handy shortcuts I didn't know existed that I will now be using every day:
Ctrl+Comma: brings up list of recent files to jump to, and you can just go straight into typing a name and it'll narrow the selection automatically
Ctrl+Shift+E: brings up a list of recent locations (i.e. 3-5 line snippets of files you recently visited) and similarly you can start typing to narrow down which snippet you want to revisit, which does a full text search of each snippet and their associated file name
The term monkey patch seems to have come from an earlier term, guerrilla patch, which referred to changing code sneakily – and possibly incompatibly with other such patches – at runtime. The word guerrilla, nearly homophonous with gorilla, became monkey
#TIL "monkey patch" was literally a "I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces." joke.
TIL: How to SSH shim a dockerized Gitea by passing SSH through from the host to the container.
On host:
1. Share user (GID/UID) with the container env
2. Add new keys and mount .ssh as new volume
3. Mock the gitea binary on host to pass the SSH original command to the container
For the client:
1. Optionally add a new key to interact with the server
2. Add the pubkey to Gitea using the web interface
3. Be sure you're using the key and enjoy your clone :)
#TIL that 87% of #ML projects do not succeed!
Sometimes that is just because #ML is simply not the right solution.
Sometimes it is because they did not get it to production in a sustainable fashion: with a process to keep on collecting data, re-training, re-validating and re-deploying automatically #CICD.
This is called #MLOps (analog to #DevOps) and I have just completed this last #training to get my future clients started well with #ML or #TinyML!

#TIL In Madison, Wisconsin, there's a memorial to the 2,800 American volunteers of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade who fought against fascism in the Spanish Civil War
A hilarious fact I just learned: William Jones, the mathematician who first popularized using pi as the constant for the ratio of the circumference to its diameter, had a son, also named William, who went out to propose the theory of a Proto-Indo-European language that was the ancestor of many languages in Asia and Europe… which abbreviates as, you guessed it, PIE. #TIL
#TIL there's a site https://bird.makeup/ that can act as a bridge between Twitter and ActivityPub (Mastodon for me). I was just thinking about #FOMO when using Mastodon but now I don't have any reason to perhaps?

macOS 跟 freebsd 的 date 有個參數 `-v` 可用來對目前日期時間做加減運算，並且不會去改系統時間。
例如：取得星期一的日期： `date -v+mon '+%Y-%m-%d'` 。如果今天是星期一，那就是今天的日期。不然就是下一個星期的星期一。
今天是星期三，`-v+wed` 與 `-v-wed` 是今天。 `-v+thu` 是明天、`-v-thu` 是上一個星期的星期四。
如果必定要是下一星期內的的星期四的話可連用： `-v+7d -v-sun -v+thu` （意義：進七天、退到星期日、進到星期四）

Before Postgres 15, null values were considered "distinct." That is, null != null for the purposes of unique indexes. The fix is adding a stored generated column, and using *that* column for your indexes and constraints.

#TIL that there’s a word that describes my whole damn life 😆
Except my ‘purposeful manner’ zigged and zagged a lot. No real destination in mind, just ideas of where I thought I wanted to go - or where I thought I should (🤦🏽♂️) be going.
Some of this is #adhd related (like half-heartedly doing things I had no interest in) and some is not (school teaches you to not listen to yourself because Other People Know Better). But I would like to correct course and have a destination in mind for once.
Also: ‘Coddiwomple’ is an incredible word. #Language can be so much fun!

I'm so sad about how much American rednecks like #russia. I was hoping that American rednecks still hate commies and ruskies, but seems like the cotton-brained #maga idiocracy has proliferated deep love for russia and #russians.
#Rust slowly beating bad callback habits out of me from #JavaScript.
#TIL it's better to use a for loop instead of a `for_each()` if you need access to variables outside it's scope.
This morning my dentist texts me that they need an updated health history. Links to a Jotform. Being a security and compliance minded person I have the thought that is basically "A jotform? Are you kidding? Have you never heard of HIPAA". And to be fair to Jotform, they are HIPAA Compliance (TIL).
But that does beg the question. As a consumer, you now know a website is security when it doesn't give you encryption warnings. But what about things like HIPAA? Ignore the fact that the average person has no idea what HIPAA is (or some badly broken idea), you have no way to tell. The jotform could be the consumer version... or it could be the HIPAA version.
I have no reason not to trust my dentist, but that's just it. We're just trusting and hoping and praying here.
#TIL Why does xterm have Tektronix 4010 emulation:
I [Doug Mink] was hired by SAO [Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory] (after leaving the research staff at MIT) in October 1985 to write analysis software for the Spacelab 2 Infrared Telescope which was to fly on the Space Shuttle in 1985 less than six months after I was hired. I came with a tar tape full of software I had written for Unix and Tektronix terminals, but I was presented with a VS100 terminal which had an early version (X6 or so) of xterm, with no graphics capabilities. [...] everyone decided that since I knew Tektronix commands pretty well, and our group desparately needed the graphics capabilities, it would be a good use of my time to implement a Tektronix terminal emulator under X. So I set to work learning more C--I had only written a couple of wrappers to C I/O routines so I could use them with my Fortran software--and wrote a Tektronix emulator. The only X documentation at the time was the code itself.

USPS also uses XML in their REST APIs 😅

Of the above, I found DHL has the best developer API doc and learning experience for exploring their APIs. It has code samples in 16 languages, including Python. It even lets you try the APIs on the browser. Well done, DHL.

As a #n00b #developer learning #Javascript, I’m having a ton of fun tinkering with the Mastodon API.
#TIL about the stream which is far better than my old way of getting public timeline statuses essentially in a loop of repeated calls. Outputting statuses to a web page but that’s not the end goal.
Oh, the first 15 seconds of this video are boring but it’s your fault. Nobody was posting! 🤣
