In general you want to try and put things in onStart and onStop for logical start and stops.

Activity

onCreate

Dagger inject self into graph
setContentView(R.layout.xxx)
Butterknife.bind(this)
RxJava CompositeSubscription.add (if NON UI related work being done)
realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();

Kinesis Freestyle (Terrible key switches. Mushy and un-lovable)
Kinesis Freestyle Edge (Traditional layout with too many keys, mech switches, proably too big to be tented easily/properly)
Matias Ergo Pro (Looks pretty great. Have not tried.)
ErgoDox Kit (Currently, my everyday keyboard. Can buy pre-assembled on eBay.)
ErgoDox EZ (Prolly the best option for most people.)

Learning Rust

The following is a list of resources for learning Rust as well as tips and tricks for learning the language faster.

Warning

Rust is not C or C++ so the way your accustomed to do things in those languages might not work in Rust. The best way to learn Rust is to embrace its best practices and see where that takes you.

The generally recommended path is to start by reading the books, and doing small coding exercises until the rules around borrow checking become intuitive. Once this happens, then you can expand to more real world projects. If you find yourself struggling hard with the borrow checker, seek help. It very well could be that you're trying to solve your problem in a way that goes against how Rust wants you to work.

Using Elixir releases and multi-stage Docker files to simplify Phoenix deployment

This repo is my experiment in deploying a basic Phoenix app using the release feature from elixir 1.9 (https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2019/06/24/elixir-v1-9-0-released/) and docker, via a multi-stage Dockerfile (https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/multistage-build/) leveraging bitwalker's docker images for Elixir and Phoenix.

Step 1: Install Elixir 1.9.1 (and Erlang)

The simplest way to manage Elixir versions is to use asdf.

A curated list of command-line utilities written in Rust

Note: I have moved this list to a proper repository. I'll leave this gist up, but it won't be updated. To submit an idea, open a PR on the repo.

Note that I have not tried all of these personally, and cannot and do not vouch for all of the tools listed here. In most cases, the descriptions here are copied directly from their code repos. Some may have been abandoned. Investigate before installing/using.

The ones I use regularly include: bat, dust, fd, fend, hyperfine, miniserve, ripgrep, just, cargo-audit and cargo-wipe.

How to use this gist

You've got two main options:

	#!/bin/sh
	set -e

	root_disk() {
	diskutil info -plist /
	}

	apfs_volumes_for() {
	disk=$1
	diskutil apfs list -plist "$disk"
