How to Force Dark Mode on Every Website in Google Chrome Do you like dark mode? Chrome now lets you forcibly enable it for every site on the web. No more blindingly bright websites. How-To Geek · howtogeek.com [1] Sometimes I struggle to get my os to report dark mode to chrome, luckily there is a way to force chrome to always use dark mode. I’ve never really gotten into dark reader and extensions like this. For some reason they all make websites look really weird to me and I don’t really care for it. What I want is websites designed to be in dark/light to always go dark, if the designer didn’t design dark just let it be light. Note This post is a thought [2].

Tailscale allows you to ssh into all of your tailscale machines, it busts through firewalls and accross networks without complex setup. If you have used tailscale before this is an obvious no brainer. What is not obvious is that you can configure tailscale to allow ssh connections from devices within your tailnet without even a ssh daemon process running right through the tailscale daemon. tailscale status tailscale set --ssh I picked this up from the tailscale youtube channel.

xxHash - Extremely fast non-cryptographic hash algorithm xxhash.com [1] xxHash is an extremely fast non-cryptographic hash algorithm, working at RAM speed limit. It is proposed in four flavors (XXH32, XXH64, XXH3_64bits and XXH3_128bits). The latest variant, XXH3, offers improved performance across the board, especially on small data.

xxhash Python binding for xxHash PyPI · pypi.org [1] I hit an issue with markata where even though a bunch of articles were cached, the site build was still slow because I was hitting hashlib.sha256 so hard for cache keys. I was shocked when this popped up in my profiler as a significant portion of the time spent. I swapped out for xxhash and that issue completely went away. Note This post is a thought [2].

I just implemented a latest blog post link in Markata by asking for the first post slug from the blog feed. The implementation uses the jinja_md plugin to render jinja against the markdown and a tag to redirect. My latest blog post is [[ {{ markata.feeds.blog.posts[0].slug }} ]]. Click the link if you are not automatically redirected. <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url='/{{ markata.feeds.blog.posts[0].slug }}'" /> Setting up the feed # [1] Feeds are setup in markata.toml configuration. They provide a handy way to create an html [2] feed, rss feed, and quickly reference a filtered set of posts like this. # you will need to enable the jinja_md plugin along with the defaults [markata] hooks = [ "markata.plugins.jinja_md", "default", ] # set up the blog feed [[markata.feeds]] slug = 'blog' template = "feed.html" filter = "date<=today and templateKey in ['blog-post'] and published" sort = "date" reverse = true For more information on markata check out the full markata [3] post.

How to Deliver Code Every Day I recently calculated that I merge 0.8 pull requests every day into my team repo. “How to Deliver Code Every 0.8 Days” didn’t sing, so let’s say I merge about one PR every day, delivering o... Jake Worth · jakeworth.com [1] Great set of tips here! No waiting. No “waiting until tomorrow” or “It’s Friday, let’s wait until Monday” to deploy. If your deploys are so slow that deploying an hour before the end of the day is a risk, that’s a separate problem. If you’re afraid of a Friday deploy, your system is too brittle, or you don’t have foolproof rollback procedures, or you don’t have people you trust on call to resolve it. Each of these is a problem that you can fix. This one I find interesting I think there are some industries where customers come in large waves over the weekend, and a weekend bug can not only ruin someones day off, take longer to fix, but also cost a lot of money. Not deploying on Friday is totally what that team should be doing. Most of us are not that team. Most of us work on small teams supporting some sort of product that Should be able to be tested and rolled back. I completely agree with Jake here, if your not willing to...

You Have to Get Fast to Get Good at Programming Great programmers aren’t fast because they’re great. They’re great because they’re fast. Jake Worth · jakeworth.com [1] Be Fast, Practice, Hone your craft. There’s a lot to be said here about honing your craft for editing text, picking up a few extra WPM, learning vim shortcuts. Also just build shit. The more you build new and different things the more not only your text editing will just roll out, your skills to see patterns in code and architecture will flourish. Read their bios, and the answer is always no. They loved to play, sure. They had some base talent, typically. But they also invested an absurd amount of time into that skill set. This! is actually what turned me on to Post Malone. I remember hearing his story in how he was just known as the guy with a guitar because he was always playing it between class and everything.

Distrobox Use any linux distribution inside your terminal. distrobox.it [1] distrobox gives you distrobox-host-exec to run commands on the host. This is handy to get access to host level clis that you probably wouldn’t want to run from the container like podman, docker, flatpak. DESCRIPTION distrobox-host-exec lets one execute command on the host, while inside of a container. Under the hood, distrobox-host-exec uses host-spawn a project that lets us execute commands back on the host. If the tool is not found the user will be prompted to install it.
