Think twice before abandoning X11. Wayland breaks everything!

Source: https://x.com/LundukeJournal/status/1940441670098809093

Wayland breaks everything! It is binary incompatible, provides no clear transition path with 1:1 replacements for everything in X11, and is even philosophically incompatible with X11. Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.

Be Careful with Table Driven Tests and `t.Parallel()`

We Gophers, love table-driven-tests, it makes our unittesting structured, and makes it easy to add different test cases with ease.

Let’s create our table driven test, for convenience, I chose to use t.Log as the test function. Notice that we don't have any assertion in this test, it is not needed to for the demonstration.

func TestTLog(t *testing.T) {
	t.Parallel()

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

	# Sample Nginx config with sane caching settings for modern web development
	#
	# Motivation:
	# Modern web development often happens with developer tools open, e. g. the Chrome Dev Tools.
	# These tools automatically deactivate all sorts of caching for you, so you always have a fresh
	# and juicy version of your assets available.
	# At some point, however, you want to show your work to testers, your boss or your client.
	# After you implemented and deployed their feedback, they reload the testing page – and report
	# the exact same issues as before! What happened? Of course, they did not have developer tools
	# open, and of course, they did not empty their caches before navigating to your site.

	git branch -m old_branch new_branch # Rename branch locally
	git push origin :old_branch # Delete the old branch
	git push --set-upstream origin new_branch # Push the new branch, set local branch to track the new remote
