A pretty simple custom LSP hover window that tries to solve the issues I face with the built-in one.

Note

This was designed with small screen size in mind!

Using Git Commit Message Templates to Write Better Commit Messages

The always enthusiastic and knowledgeable mr. @jasaltvik shared with our team an article on writing (good) Git commit messages: How to Write a Git Commit Message. This excellent article explains why good Git commit messages are important, and explains what constitutes a good commit message. I wholeheartedly agree with what @cbeams writes in his article. (Have you read it yet? If not, go read it now. I'll wait.) It's sensible stuff. So I decided to start following the

ANSI Escape Sequences

Ctrl-Key: ^[

Unicode: \u001b
Hexadecimal: \x1B

What is the Strict Aliasing Rule and Why do we care?

(OR Type Punning, Undefined Behavior and Alignment, Oh My!)

What is strict aliasing? First we will describe what is aliasing and then we can learn what being strict about it means.

In C and C++ aliasing has to do with what expression types we are allowed to access stored values through. In both C and C++ the standard specifies which expression types are allowed to alias which types. The compiler and optimizer are allowed to assume we follow the aliasing rules strictly, hence the term strict aliasing rule. If we attempt to access a value using a type not allowed it is classified as undefined behavior(UB). Once we have undefined behavior all bets are off, the results of our program are no longer reliable.

Unfortunately with strict aliasing violations, we will often obtain the results we expect, leaving the possibility the a future version of a compiler with a new optimization will break code we th

Job Control in ZSH and Bash

All processes in ZSH/Bash under job control are in 3 states: foregrounded, backgrounded and suspended.

# run command in the foreground
command
# run commend in the background

	show strong: it => html.elem("typStrong", it.body)
	show emph: it => html.elem("typEmph", it.body)
	show highlight: it => html.elem("typHighlight", it.body)
