Exclude node_modules and .git from Backblaze backups on Mac

  1. Edit the file at /Library/Backblaze.bzpkg/bzdata/bzexcluderules_editable.xml.
  2. Add these rules inside the bzexclusions tag:
<!-- Exclude node_modules. -->
<excludefname_rule plat="mac" osVers="*"  ruleIsOptional="t" skipFirstCharThenStartsWith="users/" contains_1="/node_modules/" contains_2="*" doesNotContain="*" endsWith="*" hasFileExtension="*" />

Forwarding ports from a docker container with Vagrant 1.6

Forwarding ports from a docker container with Vagrant 1.6

Vagrant 1.6 has a really nice feature which allows you to run a docker environment from any machine that can run Vagrant (even a Mac)

Behind the scenes, Vagrant creates a host VM which runs the docker containers.

The "gotcha" is: Vagrant won't automatically forward ports all the way back from the container->vagrant host VM->your mac. You have to do that step manually, by configuring your own host VM for Vagrant to use for hosting docker containers with. That host VM is told what ports to open.

Here's how I set up a local Wordpress development testing container.

Install xubuntu 13.10 on Acer V5-123
* Introduction
It seems that, like game, notebooks should hang. When they are too new it takes a lot of time to install Linux on them. In the Acer V5-123 the graphics card (ATI KABINI [RADEON HD8210] seems to be the problem today (nov 21, 2013). To install a working driver, the information on [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI]] was helpful for me. At the end I still get messages stating "microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam16h.bin" in dmesg that I couldn't solve and I don't know how harmful they are.
* Procedure
1. Install ubuntu. After the installation there is no x-windows, but there are working terminals.
2. Log in.
3. Download the "catalyst" driver version 13.11 (beta version as of today)

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

Simple JS function that returns a bounding rect for an element with absolute coordinates corrected for scroll positions.
/**
Returns a bounding rect for _el_ with absolute coordinates corrected for
scroll positions.
The native `getBoundingClientRect()` returns coordinates for an element's
visual position relative to the top left of the viewport, so if the element
is part of a scrollable region that has been scrolled, its coordinates will
be different than if the region hadn't been scrolled.
This method corrects for scroll offsets all the way up the node tree, so the

Boxen uses a bunch of shellscripts to insert itself into your environment on shell load.

These assume a POSIX shell, which fish is not.

Run this script to generate a fish-compatible config file in ~/.config/fish/boxen.fish, which you can source at the end of your ~/.config/fish/config.fish.

Deploy to `gh-pages` from a `dist` folder on the master branch. Useful for use with [yeoman](http://yeoman.io).

Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).

Enable key repeat in Apple Lion for Sublime Text in Vim mode
# Mac OS X Lion introduced a new, iOS-like context menu when you press and hold a key
# that enables you to choose a character from a menu of options. If you are on Lion
# try it by pressing and holding down 'e' in any app that uses the default NSTextField
# for input.
#
# It's a nice feature and continues the blending of Mac OS X and iOS features. However,
# it's a nightmare to deal with in Sublime Text if you're running Vintage (Vim) mode,
# as it means you cannot press and hold h/j/k/l to move through your file. You have
# to repeatedly press the keys to navigate.
