How to view-source of a Chrome extension

Option 1: Command-line download extension as zip and extract

extension_id=jifpbeccnghkjeaalbbjmodiffmgedin   # change this ID
curl -L -o "$extension_id.zip" "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx?response=redirect&os=mac&arch=x86-64&nacl_arch=x86-64&prod=chromecrx&prodchannel=stable&prodversion=44.0.2403.130&x=id%3D$extension_id%26uc" 
unzip -d "$extension_id-source" "$extension_id.zip"

Thx to crxviewer for the magic download URL.

16x16 Mandelbrot set rendered by a tint transform (it's not technically a valid pdf because it lacks lengths and the xref table which is hard to write by hand, but every reader can reconstruct them anyways). The Mandelbrot16x16-fixed.pdf file has been opened and saved with Adobe Reader which repairs the file (but makes it human unreadable).

Ansible task to install nvm and nodeJS
#first seen here: http://www.snip2code.com/Snippet/63701/Ansible-task-to-install-nvm-and-node
# Here is how to install nvm and node in an Ansible task.
# I tried a bunch of different things, and as usual it's simple, but you have to get it right.
# The important part is that you have to shell with /bin/bash -c and source nvm.sh

Blizzard Software Engineering Reading

Blizzard Software Engineering Reading

by Jay Baxter (circa 2009)

Associate developer

"This list is for people who want to become Associate Software Engineers at Blizzard. An associate should have skills at the level indicated by these books. Note that this is almost completely focused on C++ programming. This list is incomplete. I need a book on how to become a professional. I've listed several books that give examples of professional behavior, but not one on the actual training."
