GPG and git on macOS

Setup

No need for homebrew or anything like that. Works with https://www.git-tower.com and the command line.

Install https://gpgtools.org -- I'd suggest to do a customized install and deselect GPGMail.
Create or import a key -- see below for https://keybase.io
Run gpg --list-secret-keys and look for sec, use the key ID for the next step
Configure git to use GPG -- replace the key with the one from gpg --list-secret-keys

When many different people are working on a project simultaneously, pull requests can go stale quickly. A "stale" pull request is one that is no longer up to date with the main line of development, and it needs to be updated before it can be merged into the project. The most common reason why pull requests go stale is due to conflicts: if two pull requests both modify similar lines in the same file, and one pull request gets merged, the unmerged pull request will now have a conflict. Sometimes, a pull request can go stale without conflicts: perhaps changes in a different file in the codebase require corresponding changes in your pull request to conform to the new architecture, or perhaps the branch was created when someone had accidentally merged failing unit tests to the master branch. Regardless of the reason, if your pull request has gone stale, you will need to rebase your branch onto the latest version of the master branch before it can be merged.

Rough Notes about CQRS and ES

Once upon a time…

I once took notes (almost sentence by sentence with not much editing) about the architectural design concepts - Command and Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) and Event Sourcing (ES) - from a presentation of Greg Young and published it as a gist (with the times when a given sentence was heard).

I then found other summaries of the talk and the gist has since been growing up. See the revisions to know the changes and where they came from (aka the sources).

It seems inevitable to throw Domain Driven Design (DDD) in to the mix.

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

-E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
-l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

	macro_rules! avg {
	($($t:expr),) => (sum!($($t),)/count!($($t),*));
	}

	macro_rules! count {
	($h:expr) => (1);
	($h:expr, $($t:expr),*) =>
	(1 + count!($($t),*));
	}

	; Short guide to TCP/IP Client/Server programming in Common Lisp using usockets
	;
	; The main reason for this guide is because there are very few examples that
	; explain how to get started with socket programming with Common Lisp that I
	; could understand. After spending a day trying, I finally came up with a small
	; bit of code that makes it easy to understand the basics. I've written this
	; primarily for myself, but should help others get started as well.

	; As usual, we will use quicklisp to load usocket.
