Docker for Mac

On M1 machines, Docker for Mac is running a lightweight linux ARM VM, then running containers within that, so containers are essentially running natively. Don't be fooled by the fact the UI or binary CLI tools (e.g. docker) might require Rosetta.

Within that VM is an emulation layer called QEmu. This can be used by docker to run Intel containers. This does not use Rosetta at all, and has a roughly 5-6X performance penalty. (If you just upgraded your CPU this may result in a similar performance to your old machine!)

Pulling and running with Docker

Many images in public registries are multi-architecture. For instance at the time of writing on Docker Hub the php:8.0-cli image has the following digests:

With Docker Desktop becoming more restricted, I've decided to move on to just using minikube. In doing so, I've consolidated my notes as follows.

Installation

Use brew to install the docker cli and minikube.

$ brew install minikube docker kubectl hyperkit

Running Minikube

The first time you start minikube, you should specify any settings you desire.

Pure ESM package

The package that linked you here is now pure ESM. It cannot be require()'d from CommonJS.

This means you have the following choices:

1. Use ESM yourself. (preferred)
   Use import foo from 'foo' instead of const foo = require('foo') to import the package. You also need to put "type": "module" in your package.json and more. Follow the below guide.
2. If the package is used in an async context, you could use await import(…) from CommonJS instead of require(…).
3. Stay on the existing version of the package until you can move to ESM.

user-package-stats

I was poking around trying to figure out all the packages I have access to publish and got curious. So I write this little script to determine the download stats for all the packages I have publish access to.

Feel free to try it yourself. Just change the username passed to getUserDownloadStats.

By default, the stats are sorted by their average daily downloads (descending). That should give you an idea of the most "popular" package of a given user relative to how long that package has been around.

You can use it with npx like so:

You can install Node Nightlies/RCs via nvm using NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR environment variable.

Install latest Node RC

NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://nodejs.org/download/rc/ nvm i node

Install latest Node.js Nightly

NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/ nvm i node

Moving Authy to 1Password

1Password 5.3 for OSX, 5.2 for iOS, and 4.1.0.538 for Windows support OTP. I've been using Authy for a while now, but the fact is, I haven't really been using 2FA for some time. As mentioned by 1Password in a recent blog post, having the OTP generator and password on the same device is very much not 2FA. It's just an expiring OTP, which can help, but let's not kid ourselves too much.

With that out of the way. One of the things that was interesting to me was moving my OTP out of Authy and into 1Password. I like the control I get with 1Password, but I didn't want to have to reset all my OTP right away, that would suck. So, I got to dissecting the Authy Chrome App to see what I could do.

Run the Authy Chrome app and make sure it's unlocked.

Now, enable Developer mode in Chrome. We'll need this to inspect the background application that stores al

Set up a local clone

Here is my setup, but feel free to use whatever works best for you. You need to run this once for each new repository (project) you fork on GitHub:

// Original code
it('does something complex', function(done) {
  async.waterfall(
    [
      function setupSchema(cb) {
        db.setupSchema(/*...*/, cb);
      },
      function createTestUser(cb) {
        db.createUser({ name: 'a user name' }, cb);
      }

var count = 2;
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {

Angular module structure (proposal)

Everyone who's reading this, please leave your opinion/ideas/proposals as a comment for a better world!

Background

Most of you guys read Josh' proposals to make components more reusable, I think. Now, reading through this proposals definitely gives a feeling that this is the right way. Anyways, If you haven't read it yet, you should.

So Josh shows us, how angular apps can be structured in a better and more reusable way. Reusability is a very important thing when it comes to software development. Actually the whole angularjs library follows a philosophy of reusability. Which is why you able to make things like:
