A blog about software development
Intro Reading the World Coherency document was a really interesting experience. I’m actually surprised not only at having stuck through it, but in the thought that I might have paid money to read it if it had been a book, had I known what an enjoyable read it would be. Generally speaking I agree with a lot of the points, and can see how they would be harmful for an MMORPG. I’m mainly going to talk…
I had some questions when I got my B0XX. I figured it’d be a good idea to document the answers, so they might help someone else someday. If that’s you, hope this helps! Table of contents (For Ctrl + F purposes) Is there a way to have dolphin detect the b0xx even when tabbed out when using native controller inputs? Is aerial movement meant to be done with full left/right or modifiers + left/right?…
command-t didn’t automatically work/build in a WSL/Nix setup, I managed to build it manually, so I figured I’d document how that was done in case someone finds themselves in the same very-specific scenario. Or future me, when I need to rebuild. First I went into nvim, and ran :ruby puts "#{RUBY_VERSION}-p#{RUBY_PATCHLEVEL}" , which told me I was on version 2.5.5, and patch 157. Then I went into…
This post is meant to be a primer of sorts to aid you in the usage, and local development patterns of lerna . I am by no means an expert on the topic, so some of the stuff in here will likely be nowhere near perfect. If you’d like to correct something feel free to go to this post and make a pull request with changes. First off, if you can do so then having all of your dependencies under a single…
This post is meant to be a primer of sorts to aid in the usage, and development patterns of lerna focused on publishing. I am by no means an expert on the topic, so some of the stuff in here will likely be nowhere near perfect. If you’d like to correct something feel free to go to this post , and make a pull request with changes. Lerna makes publishing versions of your dependencies a breeze! First…
If you have a lerna project you might realize that running lerna publish will sync up your packages versions. If you do not want your packages to be synced up, you can initialize your project with the --independent flag. But if you already have a project, and need to edit it so that you use independent versions henceforth then you can edit your lerna.json file so that it looks like this: { "lerna"…
I wanted to make VS Code look prettier in Windows, mostly hide the title bar. That functionality doesn’t exist but I’m mostly okay with the result: This is fairly easily achievable, and is all done through Windows directly, no hacks involved. Once again, here’s how it looks in Zen mode: Without further ado, let’s begin. First you are going to want to turn the menu bar off. This thing: You can do…
I was recently talking to a friend about Android, iOS, and choice. This rant blog post mainly talks about the insights I felt on the nature of customization during the conversation. Choice can be paralyzing. I in particular am the sort of person who will not stop poking until everything is just right , and really, it usually never is. I realized my personality was like this as a teenager playing…
You are an “expert”, a so-called power-user. You rolled your eyes at the headline, said “dumb ass”, and thought about moving on. Hear me out for a minute. And by a minute I mean like three, until I get around to making my point. Everyone who might be called “an expert” knows Microsoft is pushing the boundaries of what it can do with its user base. Every new patch they push it just a tiny bit…
I had horrible memory. For as long as I can remember I always thought that. I’d even struggle to remember the last names of my best friends, whom I talked with everyday. I remember reading entire books on very technical topics. And instantly forgetting many of the finer details. I can remember participating in a job interview, where the interviewer asked me something I knew I had read before. I…
