I’m giving a best man’s speech tomorrow.
I’m currently alternating between thinking the speech I wrote is either trying too hard to be funny, or too sentimental. My current plan is to bring a note with keywords (I have eight), trying to sense the atmosphere, and mostly winging it. 🤷♂️
Oh, you and me both.
Depending on your throughput and reliability needs, you might get away with a loop that takes jobs from a queue and just runs them in a single process. 🤔
Assuming this is Ruby, you could even retry them using the built-in retry keyword and make it quite elegant.
So now I need to find time to get the very old stuff running on the new static site generator before they pull a Vidme on me.

Definitely don’t use this, but here’s some eleven-year old Ruby code for your enjoyment. It’s from a simpler time. https://github.com/jeffkreeftmeijer/navvy/blob/develop/lib/navvy/worker.rb#L19-L34
Don’t include external JavaScript on your website.
I used to run ads (don’t do that either). Some old pages still include the ad code. Ad company folded, domain got snatched up, now hosts a different JS file that calls window.open to redirect to another page. 🤷♀️
I have been taking a lot of notes, though. Case in point (on taking notes /and/ org-mode’s elaborate feature set): https://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/org-code-setup-teardown/
I like my writing tools elaborate enough that I spend more time configuring them and updating old articles to their formats than I do actually writing.
Org-mode fits the bill, and it’s been a lot of fun so far.
I have no idea where that is. I expected the screenshot to turn up in “Recents” in Finder, but it never did.
Thanks for appreciating! 🙌
Please appreciate that last update. It took a lot of effort.
First I needed to increase the font in my browser and the margins in the inspector to get a clear screenshot, then I couldn’t find the screenshot as macOS now shows a preview in the lower right corner for five seconds before removing the file, apparently. 🤷♂️
I’ve made Harissa before, I mostly remember a lot of tomato paste. I’ll pick some up from the store if I come across it to try. Thanks!
@ gappleto97@mastodon.social I’m thinking along those lines, indeed. It would certainly be lighter and more convenient to have a powder. I could even dehydrate some sauce. 🤔
Ha, yes, I’ll need to up my game to fit it in the backpack. I’ll try Salsa Huichol Habanera if I come across it, thanks!
brb, rebooting because Wacom
My average intake of Sriracha is causing a problem planning for our next hiking trip (weight wise) so I’m in the market for a spicier substitute. Suggestions?
Thanks! Updating author emails is a nice use-case as well. I’ve been slow on installing formatters in my editor lately, so I’ve had to use the formatting one twice today after being prompted by CI. 😅
Retroactively run a formatter on past commits by using the--exec option during an interactive rebase:
git rebase -i --exec 'mix format’ main
git rebase -i --exec 'prettier --write {**/*,*}.js’ main
git rebase -i --exec 'rubocop -a’ main

Please don’t tell people they must learn X before they can do Y, where X is the underlying technology, and Y is the modern abstraction.
You might be right, but that’s just being discouraging.
I accidentally a Node.js command line tool that takes an HTML file with an internal stylesheet, purges the stylesheet from unused selectors in the surrounding HTML, minifies it, then places it back into the <style> tags.

I suspect my colleagues are planning me an Emacs intervention.
Right. That’s what I’ve been doing, indeed. I was hoping there was some kind of trick or format I could use instead of using rich text. Here’s what I’m doing now:

When writing in Emacs’ Org mode, export with C-c C-e h o.
A browser window pops up with an HTML representation of the document you can copy rich markup from, to then paste in Basecamp’s text area.

Since Basecamp doesn’t accept Markdown anymore, what’s the best way to get a piece of text written elsewhere (which might include links and subheadings) imported into it?
Here’s a slightly cumbersome option. Trix (Basecamp’s editor) uses a contenteditable block, which retains styling. That means one could convert their comment to HTML (like the preview in a Markdown editor), copy the text from the rendered page, and paste it into Basecamp.
We’ve been using Lintje internally for a couple of days, and my commit messages have increased by 37%!

I published my notes on extracting files and directories from Git repositories (while retaining history) because most search results recommend git filter-branch, which you should never use. https://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/git-extract/
