sdkman vs jenv

Jenv is great, but the JDKs have to be manually installed. If you need more than just a couple of them, you'll want to be able to install them via command line, and sdkman provides this capability very cleanly for java. So... is it possible to work with both sdkman and jenv? Yes and no. Some tricks will allow you to tell jenv about the java versions that are managed by sdkman, but setting defaults (using jenv local 17.0 for instance) does not work very well. Time for a cleaner solution. Sdkman provides all of the same functionality, with more power and a slightly different (but equally simple) syntax. I've switched from jenv to sdkman. Here's my cheat sheet.

Setup

Download and install sdkman. Follow the required instructions after installing. Then, run the config command to enable auto_env support.

echo “Installing SDKMAN"
curl -s https://get.sdkman.io | bash

set -e, -u, -o, -x pipefail

The set lines

These lines deliberately cause your script to fail. Wait, what? Believe me, this is a good thing.
With these settings, certain common errors will cause the script to immediately fail, explicitly and loudly. Otherwise, you can get hidden bugs that are discovered only when they blow up in production.

set -euxo pipefail is short for:

set -e
set -u

Input data

initial widget Magento_Theme/js/view/breadcrumbs (vendor/magento/module-theme/view/frontend/web/js/view/breadcrumbs.js)
native mixin that extends this widget: Magento_Catalog/js/product/breadcrumbs (vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/frontend/web/js/product/breadcrumbs.js)

Task

Extend methods of the mixin Magento_Catalog/js/product/breadcrumbs

Solution

Declare your mixin in custom theme app/design/frontend/[Vendor]/[theme]/Magento_Catalog/requirejs-config.js file and associate it with the initial widget

Effective Modern CMake

Getting Started

For a brief user-level introduction to CMake, watch C++ Weekly, Episode 78, Intro to CMake by Jason Turner. LLVM’s CMake Primer provides a good high-level introduction to the CMake syntax. Go read it now.

After that, watch Mathieu Ropert’s CppCon 2017 talk Using Modern CMake Patterns to Enforce a Good Modular Design (slides). It provides a thorough explanation of what modern CMake is and why it is so much better than “old school” CMake. The modular design ideas in this talk are based on the book [Large-Scale C++ Software Design](https://www.amazon.de/Large-Scale-Soft

Nested Routers in Express.js

Express makes it easy to nest routes in your routers. But I always had trouble accessing the request object's .params when you had a long URI with multiple parameters and nested routes.

Let's say you're building routes for a website www.music.com. Music is organized into albums with multiple tracks. Users can click to see a track list. Then they can select a single track and see a sub-page about that specific track.

At our application level, we could first have a Router to handle any requests to our albums.

const express = require('express');

Git Submodules basic explanation

Why submodules?

In Git you can add a submodule to a repository. This is basically a repository embedded in your main repository. This can be very useful. A couple of usecases of submodules:

Separate big codebases into multiple repositories.
