ahrefs-cleanup-2024

This post is a big work in progress, expect it to keep getting better. Initial Score # [1] [2] 404 Not Found, generate a page for each tag # [3] [4] Title too long # [5] [6] 404 Not Found, comma separated tags # [7] Another hit on 404’s caused by tags, was tag parsing from thoughts into posts, this cause links to the full comma separated list of tags rather than one per tag. [8] You can see on the website the whole dang set of tags was being treated as a single tag. [9] Broken images # [10] I’m not fully sure what happened to all of these gifs in my old host and why they didn’t show up, but I moved them all and they are solid now.

vim date

When I want to put a date in a document like a blog post from vim I use !!date from insert mode. Note that entering !! from normal mode puts you in command mode with :.! filled out. This runs a shell command, i.e. date for this example. It outputs the following Fri Jan 31 08:46:11 PM CST 2025 You can also pass in a date such as tommorrow by pasdding in the -d date -d tomorrow. It outputs the following Sat Feb 1 08:53:20 PM CST 2025 codeium just taught me this one with autocomplete :put =strftime('%Y-%m-%d') This outputs the following 2025-01-31 What I like about the :put =strftime( method is that you can add a format, but that is a lot more for me to remember than !!date A few weeks later # [1] I’m going through a bunch of blog posts and dont want my date formats to change to the Wed Feb format so I broke down and made these keybindings. I think I’m still going to be using .!date a lot, but these keybindings will be nice for editing blog post frontmatter. set("n", "<leader>dd", "<cmd>put =strftime('%Y-%m-%d')<cr>", { noremap = true, silent = true }) set("n", "<leader>dt", "<cmd>put =strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')<cr>", { noremap = true, silent = true }) - dd 2025-02-...

💭 Developer Productivity, v2 with ThePrimeagen | Preview - YouTube www.youtube.com

- Big fan of Primes setup. I was not far off of his setup before he really came on the scene, but I’ve picked up a ton of nuggets from him and how he operates. I took his first developer productivity course on Front End Masters as it came out. It is interesting to see him roll back his ansible scripts for bash scripts here. I converted my setup to ansible after watching his first, but have also since rolled back to bash scripts for quite similar reasons. Ansible is great for remote tasks that need to be done on a fleet of machines, but like he says here overkill for this purpose and ends up something that you need to read the docs for every change to your dotfiles. Unlike prime I’ve really leaned harder on installing everything in a docker image and developing out of a docker image. I’ve long built docker images of my dotfiles with the idea that its nice to be able to just use them on other machines, but it rarely happened. In the past year I’ve moved bazzite, an immutable distro. It comes with podman and distrobox, so I install very little on it, a few flatpaks from the store for brave and signal, but most of what I really use day to day comes from my devtainer. It’s nice t...

All you need is a string of math on the line you want to calculate, go to normal mode and run !!bc to get the answer.

To keep the equation and the result in the same line you can send the equation to stderr and the result to stdout using tee. :.!tee >(cat >&2) | bc References: [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03KsS09YS4E&amp;t=610s [2]: #repl [3]: #vim

markdown it attrs with slashes dont work

Attrs does not like ‘/’ characters in its classes, so to use some tailwind classes with custom values we must make new classes in our tailwind input css. .cinematic { @apply aspect-[2.39/1]; } Given the following markdown with attrs added to the image and to the paragraph block. {.aspect-[2.39/1]} {.cinematic} {.cinematic}  We get the following output with only the middle one working correctly. [1]{.aspect-[2.39/1]} [1] [1] Note The inline version of `.cinematic` works, but `.aspect-[2.39/1]` does not, it turns into text after the image. The block version with the class before the image applies to the paragraph, not the image. References: [1]: https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/50cfa8dc-9d46-4f02-877b-688fa5510a83.png

I am very hesitant on subscription models, and all the ai tools feel like they are getting ready to be the next round of death by a thousand cuts, this time with pretty limited free tier and relatively high prices to run. I’m sure we will see companies get taken by huge bills soon by building off of someone else’s service. On the flip side I’m definitely the guy that gets in a rut of just copy paste to the ai, wait for codeium to to inject. I feel like I have issues of momentum more than anything. When I’m on one side or the other I tend to stick it out for too long, but less so on going without because that llm drug is calling you when you hit a hard problem.

💭 Models - Pydantic docs.pydantic.dev

Models Pydantic Docs · docs.pydantic.dev [1] I came accross from_attributes today it allows creation of pydantic models from objects such as a sqlalchemy Base Model or while nesting pydantic models. I believe in the past I have ran into some inconsistencies with nesting pydantic models and I’ll bet one had from_attributes set and another did not. Arbitrary class instances¶ (Formerly known as “ORM Mode”/from_orm). Pydantic models can also be created from arbitrary class instances by reading the instance > attributes corresponding to the model field names. One common application of this functionality is integration with object-relational mappings (ORMs). To do this, set the from_attributes config value to True (see the documentation on Configuration for more details). The example here uses SQLAlchemy, but the same approach should work for any ORM.

Its an app that runs apps, and doesn’t let all of the signals back to the host. But its fantastic at what it does, and brings so much to the table that the little bit of downside it brings is well worth it to me. The other thing missing in this discussion is that I can take my hotkeys and session workflow to any machine just by running tmux.

GitHub stars # [1] I am using the github api to get a list of my stars and then create posts in the github repo for my blog. This allows me to keep track of things I star on GitHub in my own way, and share them out with my rss feeds.

hover z-index and positioning

I broke my sick wikilink hover [1] recently in a refactor, today I did some diving in to figure out what happened. Before # [2] As you can see in the screenshot below, the link is in a list of links, and when the hover image pops up it sits behind all of the other text. The z-index of the list-item is supposed to be raised above the others on hover. [3] Manually setting z-index to 20 in the inspector I noticed this message from devtools, “The position: static property prevents z-index from having an effect. Try setting position to something other than static.”, looking back at some of my refactoring I had relative in an old template and it was lost. [4] After # [5] After properly setting position to relative on the list-item, the hover image is raised above the others.

💭 Choosing color palettes — seaborn 0.13.2 documentation seaborn.pydata.org

[1] Good overview of seaborn color palettes. They have all sorts of different types, some designed to purposfully give each color the same weight for catecorization. Some designd to give linear differences in value, some have a parabolic feel with a diverging nature. Note This post is a thought [2].

I’ve been posting on this site since 2016, when layoffs were rolling through the company I worked for at the time. Starting a personal blog and a pile of side projects felt like one of the best things I could do for my resume, so off I went. This site is built on markata [1], more about that in the /colophon. [2] The old version of this page embedded static SVGs from my Python Markata build. Those files are gone in the markata-go site, so this page now renders the yearly posting history directly from the current content set.
