Let me tell you how easy it is to decompile an Electron app (that's closed source).

Prerequisites

Node.js (LTS or latest)
Electron
asar (for extracting the source code)

Decompilation

First of all, you find the install path of your Electron app. If you found it, find the resources folder. If you found it, you'll have to install asar globally, by running:

Using Ollama on an Asus Flow Z13 (128GB RAM) and Linux

Environment setup

I used Bazzite Linux because it seems to have the best 395+ CPU support right now. It also installs and uses podman by default. But the following instructions should work on any linux if:

You have (very) recent AMD kernel drivers installed
Podman or Docker installed (I think the instructions before should also work with docker if you just change the tool name)
Go into the BIOS and bump up the amount of RAM given over to the GPU side by default (I used 64GB but you do you)

Make Ubuntu packages 90% faster by rebuilding them

TL;DR

You can take the same source code package that Ubuntu uses to build jq, compile it again, and realize 90% better performance.

Setting

I use jq for processing GeoJSON files and other open data offered in JSON format. Today I am working with a 500MB GeoJSON file that contains the Alameda County Assessor's parcel map. I want to run a query that prints the city for every parcel worth more than a threshold amount. The program is

XDG - Base Directory Specification

Directories

Base

The intended use-case for BaseDirectories is to query the paths of user-invisible standard directories that have been defined according to the conventions of the operating system the library is running on.

Installing tmux-256color for macOS

macOS 10.15.5
tmux 3.1b

macOS has ncurses version 5.7 which does not ship the terminfo description for tmux. There're two ways that can help you to solve this problem.

The Fast Blazing Solution

Instead of tmux-256color, use screen-256color which comes with system. Place this command into ~/.tmux.conf or ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf(for version 3.1 and later):

Webpack 5 Node Polyfills Upgrade Cheatsheet

Webpack 4 automatically polyfilled many Node APIs in the browser. This was not a great system, because it could lead to surprisingly giant libraries getting pulled into your app by accident, and it gave you no control over the exact versions of the polyfills you were using.

So Webpack 5 removed this functionality. That means you need to make changes if you were relying on those polyfills. This is a quick reference for how to replace the most common patterns.

List of polyfill packages that were used in webpack 4

For each automatically-polyfilled node package name on the left, this shows the name of the NPM package that was used to polyfill it on the right. Under webpack 5 you can manually install these packages and use them via resolve.fallback.
