Git Compression of Blobs and Packfiles.

Many users of Git are curious about the lack of delta compression at the object (blob) level when commits are first written. This efficiency is saved until the pack file is written. Loose objects are written in compressed, but non-delta format at the time of each commit.

A simple run though of a commit sequence with only the smallest change to the image (in uncompressed TIFF format to amplify the observable behavior) aids the understanding of this deferred and different approach efficiency.

The command sequence:

Create the repo:

tmux shortcuts & cheatsheet

start new:

tmux

start new with session name:

tmux new -s myname

Elixir on Erjang

The last few weeks I've spent some night hacking time to get Erjang to be able to run Elixir. Here's a short note on the current status for those interested.

The bottom line is that we can now boot the Elixir REPL, it looks like this:

krab$ ./bin/iex 
Warning: could not run smart terminal, falling back to dumb one

Tinder API documentation

Note: this was written in April/May 2014 and the API may has definitely changed since. I have nothing to do with Tinder, nor its API, and I do not offer any support for anything you may build on top of this. Proceed with caution

http://rsty.org/

I've sniffed most of the Tinder API to see how it works. You can use this to create bots (etc) very trivially. Some example python bot code is here -> https://gist.github.com/rtt/5a2e0cfa638c938cca59 (horribly quick and dirty, you've been warned!)

	#!/usr/bin/env python
	import os
	import shlex
	import struct
	import platform
	import subprocess


	def get_terminal_size():
	""" getTerminalSize()

	# 0 is too far from ` ;)
	set -g base-index 1

	# Automatically set window title
	set-window-option -g automatic-rename on
	set-option -g set-titles on

	#set -g default-terminal screen-256color
	set -g status-keys vi
	set -g history-limit 10000

	g_LastCtrlKeyDownTime := 0
	g_AbortSendEsc := false
	g_ControlRepeatDetected := false

	*CapsLock::
	if (g_ControlRepeatDetected)
	{
	return
	}
