My emacs cheat sheet

In penance for cracking stupid jokes on Twitter, here's my Emacs cheat sheet. Emacs has a steep learning curve, so I've tried to order them by importance so you could learn them in stages.

One overall rule of thumb: pay attention to the minibuffer (the line at the bottom of the editor). It will often guide you through a process, and also gives you hints about what state you're in, such as the middle of a multi-chord sequence.

The other rule of thumb: when in doubt, C-g it out.

Basics (mandatory)

You simply can't get by without having these at your fingertips.

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).

How to use slurp from ClojureScript
(ns foo.core
(:refer-clojure :exclude [slurp]))
(defmacro slurp [file]
(clojure.core/slurp file))
;; In CLJS
(ns bar.core
(:require [foo.core :include-macros true :refer [slurp]]))

PostgreSQL command line cheatsheet

PSQL Cheatsheet

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

  • -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
  • -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

Why read Grokking Algorithms?

If you have already taken a course in algorithms, why read Grokking Algorithms (manning.com/bhargava)?

If you were learning graph algorithms, which approach would you prefer:

  1. Imagine you have to take public transit from your home to your office. How do you figure out the fastest route? Use graph algorithms! OR

  2. We can choose between two standard ways to represent a graph G = (V, E): as a collection of adjacency lists or as an adjacency matrix. Either way applies to both directed and undirected graphs.

I prefer the first way: lead with lots of examples, and clear writing. The second way is an excerpt from "Introduction to Algorithms"...that's how they start their section on graph algorithms.

Screencapture and animated gifs

I say "animated gif" but in reality I think it's irresponsible to be serving "real" GIF files to people now. You should be serving gfy's, gifv's, webm, mp4s, whatever. They're a fraction of the filesize making it easier for you to deliver high fidelity, full color animation very quickly, especially on bad mobile connections. (But I suppose if you're just doing this for small audiences (like bug reporting), then LICEcap is a good solution).

Capturing (Easy)

  1. Launch quicktime player
  2. do Screen recording
