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

If you create a new release in GitHub, you will either create a new tag (which will point to the most recent commit on main) or choose an existing tag (that might point to an older commit).

If you want to create releases from old commits (e.g. because you forgot to create a realease or didn't work with releases back then), there is a problem with this: when creating a tag for a specific commit in the past, GitHub only lets you pick from the most recent commits, so the commit you want to tag will not show up in the list.

Luckily, you can tag older commits locally [1]:

Find the commit on GitHub. If it is from a Pull Request, you can look into the closed Pull Requests. Within the PR you'll find a link to the commit.

Laravel's Dependency Injection Container in Depth

Translations: Korean (by Yongwoo Lee)

Laravel has a powerful Inversion of Control (IoC) / Dependency Injection (DI) Container. Unfortunately the official documentation doesn't cover all of the available functionality, so I decided to experiment with it and document it for myself. The following is based on Laravel 5.4.26 - other versions may vary.

Introduction to Dependency Injection

I won't attempt to explain the principles behind DI / IoC here - if you're not familiar with them you might want to read What is Dependency Injection? by Fabien Potencier (creator of the Symfony framework).

What does the double asterisk(**) mean in the path?

There's two meaning of wildcards in paths for file collections.

* is a simple, non-recursive wildcard representing zero or more characters which you can use for paths and file names.
** is a recursive wildcard which can only be used with paths, not file names.

For examples,

/var/log/** will match all files in /var/log and all files in all child directories, recursively.
/var/log/**/*.log will match all files whose names end in .log in /var/log and all files in all child directories, recursively.
/home/*/.bashrc will match all .bashrc files in all user's home directories.

	Collect and export a list of Twitter usernames you're following, along with follow-back status, to a CSV file every 80 seconds. Done client-side using Javascript running in the Console window of the web browser.

	Instructions:
	1) Modify the 'LANGUAGE' variable to match your Twitter interface language.
	2) Customize 'SKIP_USERS' with usernames you do not wish to include in the CSV.
	3) 'PRINT_FOLLOW_INFORMATION' determines whether follow-back status is included.
	4) 'SKIP_FOLLOWERS' and 'SKIP_NON_FOLLOWERS' settings filter out respective user groups.
	5) 'MS_PER_CYCLE' controls the frequency of data collection cycles.
	6) Load the Twitter page showing users you're following, open the console (F12), paste this code, and run it.
