Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan

Custom recipe to get OS X 10.11 El Capitan running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. This is very similar (and currently mostly the same) as my 10.10 Yosemite setup recipe (as found on this gist https://gist.github.com/kevinelliott/0726211d17020a6abc1f). Note that I expect this to change significantly as I install El Capitan several times.

I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. On average, I reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between distros.

This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.

You are encouraged to fork this and modify it to your heart's content to match your own needs.

From Symfony 2.3 to Symfony 2.7: the complete guide

Objectives

assume your code doesn't use any deprecated from versions below Symfony 2.3
update dependencies from 2.3 to 2.7
do not support "deprecated", be "Symfony3-ready"
list tasks component by component, bundle by bundle.

Rich Hickey on becoming a better developer

Rich Hickey • 3 years ago

Sorry, I have to disagree with the entire premise here.

A wide variety of experiences might lead to well-roundedness, but not to greatness, nor even goodness. By constantly switching from one thing to another you are always reaching above your comfort zone, yes, but doing so by resetting your skill and knowledge level to zero.

Mastery comes from a combination of at least several of the following:

	# === Optimized my.cnf configuration for MySQL/MariaDB (on Ubuntu, CentOS, Almalinux etc. servers) ===
	#
	# by Fotis Evangelou, developer of Engintron (engintron.com)
	#
	# ~ Updated September 2024 ~

	#
	# The settings provided below are a starting point for a 8-16 GB RAM server with 4-8 CPU cores.
	# If you have different resources available you should adjust accordingly to save CPU, RAM & disk I/O usage.
	#

	The HTTP requests made by the premium plugins are really a huge pain. While I understand the purpose, I still don't get why they need to happen so often.

	I have been struggling during a long time with this issue. Woo plugins, affiliate, etc. they all send requests even on page, post or custom posts pages. When their server is loaded, sit can easily take between 500ms to 2s.

	Puneet, the only way to fix this has been to block all http request on specific pages by adding a filter 'pre_http_request'.
	Here is a sample code: http://pastebin.com/5bji3rQG
	This is not pretty but this should give you a starting point.

	Before experimenting with this, you can always test by adding
	define( 'WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL', TRUE );

	build_settings:
	ignore:
	- "vendor"
	- "tests"

	setup:
	composer:
	action: "install"
	shell:
	- "%BUILD_PATH%/app/console doctrine:schema:drop --force"

	<?php

	namespace Acme\HelloBundle\Menu;

	use Knp\Menu\FactoryInterface;
	use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerAware;

	class MenuBuilder extends ContainerAware
	{
	public function mainMenu(FactoryInterface $factory, array $options)

	server {

	listen 80;

	# Server name being used (exact name, wildcards or regular expression)
	server_name mysite.com;
	client_max_body_size 20M;

	# Document root, make sure this points to your Symfony2 /web directory
	root /home/user/sites/mysite.com/web;

	cd /var/www/project
	composer self-update
	php artisan down
	rm /var/www/project/bootstrap/compiled.php
	git reset --hard
	git pull
	echo "<?php return \"production\";" > bootstrap/environment.php
	composer install --no-dev
	find /var/www/project/public/packages -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
	find /var/www/project/public/packages -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;

	There are a lot of complaints going around about Laravel these days, but a lot
	of the important ones seem to be missing from the spotlight.
