As of writing, the Debian distro for WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is quite old.
You can get more up-to-date package managers, text-editors and compilers by upgrading WSL to Debian 12 (current testing).
- Root required
- Use at your own risk, preferably on a fresh installation.
- Choose 'yes' when Debian requests to restart services.
Note: I do not maintain this gist anymore, but people report that it still works. Please check the comments for any revisions or extra things you should take into consideration.

Currently devel doesn't allow to override KINT configuration in a clean way. Hopefully this will be possible some day via setting in UI or drupal setting override in settings.php Until this happens you may use this dirty trick in settings.php to override the setting.
See issues:
Simply copy this into your settings.php and change the value accordingly (Kint default: 7)
1.) Download a Nerd Font
2.) Unzip and copy to ~/.fonts
3.) Run the command fc-cache -fv to manually rebuild the font cache

This is a guide on how to send a properly formatted multipart email. Multipart email strings are MIME encoded, raw text email templates. This method of structuring an email allows for multiple versions of the same email to support different email clients.
// Example Multipart Email:
From: sender@example.com
To: recipient@example.com
Subject: Multipart Email Example
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="boundary-string"
I recently had several days of extremely frustrating experiences with service workers. Here are a few things I've since learned which would have made my life much easier but which isn't particularly obvious from most of the blog posts and videos I've seen.
I'll add to this list over time – suggested additions welcome in the comments or via twitter.com/rich_harris.
Chrome 51 has some pretty wild behaviour related to console.log in service workers. Canary doesn't, and it has a load of really good service worker related stuff in devtools.
