I did this in 2008, 2011 and 2015 but forgot to do it for ten years.

Compared to 2015. New: composer, pnpm, python/python3, m (run scripts for an app I work on). Climbers: git, cd. Fallers: ssh, ls. Old: c, php, pass, sudo, ruby.

In general I like to use COUNT(*) OVER () to get the total count for a query when retrieving a slice with OFFSET and LIMIT (very useful for pagination) rather than issuing a separate query for the total count. This is not super well supported in Drizzle but you can do it like this:

const data = await db.query.tableName.findMany({
    …
    extras: {
        // Weird cast here because COUNT(*) is a bigint which is handled as a string in js
        // https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/guides/count-rows
        total: sql<number>`CAST(COUNT(*) OVER() AS INTEGER)`.as("total"),
    },
    …

Use prefixed with ~ anywhere you need a path:

$ cd ~mr
$ vi ~lw/src/index.ts

Instead of	Do this
git checkout {file}	git restore {file}
git checkout {branch}	git switch {branch}
git checkout -b {newbranch}	git switch -c {newbranch}
git push --force	git push --force-with-lease
git rebase	git rebase --update-refs

I use both gmail.com (redirects to mail.google.com) and rmilk.com (redirects to rememberthemilk.com) all the time as shortcuts. Chrome “remembers” this and as soon as I type “gm” or “rm” it is auto-suggesting them and I just hit enter to get where I want to be.

I just switched back to Firefox (ublock origin forever!) and it massively down-rates URLs that redirect in its “what to auto-suggest” algorithm. You can tweak this, though, by putting `about: config` into the URL bar and setting `places.frecency.permRedirectVisitBonus` and `places.frecency.redirectSourceVisitBonus` to 2000 over their initial low values.

firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/browser/urlbar/ranking.html has all the gory details and more.

As of version 2024.04 this bug that I investigated earlier in the year has been fixed. Hurray!

I like my terminal to change theme when I ssh into another machine. I have been using Solarized Light and Solarized Dark to facilitate this for some time. But now I have gotten hooked on Nord which has no light version. So I made one, just for Terminal for now at least.

There are notes about a “bright ambiance” version of the theme in the Nord docs but no actual themes available. The official Terminal.app theme actually deviates from the core 16-color palette but I didn’t do that here. I just chose the most appropriate color from the 16 color palette for each option in a Terminal theme.

In pure Mustache there’s no (simple) way to avoid a trailing comma on a list:

{{#items}}{{.}}, {{/items}}

Which produces something like: “First, Second, Third, “

There are various ways around this. If you’re working in HTML I think the nicest is to model your list as an actual HTML list and use CSS:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8"/>
    <title>Lists</title>
    <style>
      .list {           
        margin: 0;      
        padding: 0;
      }
      .list li {           
        display: inline;             
      }
      .list li:not(:last-child):after {
        content: ", ";               
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <ol class="list">
      <li>First</li>
      <li>Second</li>
      <li>Third</li>
    </ol>
  </body>
</html>

Which produces: “First, Second, Third”.
