Find the display width in pixels of a string given a font, point size and DPI in Python using Freetype
"Find the display width in pixels of a string given a font, point size and DPI."

# Based on the FreeType Tutorial examples:

Go 1.13+ Unwrap Error stack to print type and contents to discover which error types are available for use with errors.As()
if err != nil {
for err != nil {
fmt.Printf("%T: %#v\n", err, err)
err = errors.Unwrap(err)
}

# Example Output
# *net.OpError: &net.OpError{Op:"read", Net:"tcp", Source:(*net.TCPAddr)(0xc00019df80), Addr:(*net.TCPAddr)(0xc00019dfb0), Err:(*os.SyscallError)(0xc000223b60)}

13rac1 / ansible-create-user-with-password
Created March 18, 2013 22:18
Create a user in an Ansible playbook with a set, but unknown password so the account is not locked. Makes it possible to log on the account with a public key. This example requires mkpasswd, but that can be replaced with any other password generator.

- hosts: all

# Create the password then create the user

- name: Users | Generate password for new user
shell: makepasswd --chars=20

Singleton global object cannot be changed by multiple threads without a mutex or data access conflicts will occur

I was researching how to use Golang's Template.FuncMap() and found a data access issue in: https://www.calhoun.io/intro-to-templates-p3-functions/

The section in question:

# Making our functions globally useful

Next we need to define our function that uses a closure. This is basically a fancy way of saying we are
going to define a dynamic function that has access to variables that are not necessarily passed into it,
but are available when we define the function.
