I looked into the state of GraalVM and Clojure and wrote some small work-related scripts.

GraalVM Build Tools

• Downloaded GraalVM and set $GRAALVM_HOME
• Found two main libraries for building GraalVM CLIs - https://github.com/luchiniatwork/cambada#packaging-as-a-native-image and https://github.com/taylorwood/clj.native-image (or https://github.com/taylorwood/lein-native-image for the lein equivalent). I chose clj.native-image as it seemed more focused on doing one thing well.
• First tried its template example which was easy to follow.
• Then added a graalvm build to one of our small cli tools
• Found it to be pretty straightforward except for a stdout flushing issue that was trivial to fix

How to generate a self-signed SAN SSL/TLS certificate using openssl

Generating a self-signed certificate is a common task and the command to generate one with openssl is well known and well documented. Generating a certificate that includes subjectAltName is not so straght forward however. The following example demonstrates how to generate a SAN certificate without making a permanent change to the openssl configuration.

Generate a list of all required DNS names, (Note: CN will be discarded).

$ export SAN="DNS:www.domain.localdomain,DNS:domain.localdomain"

Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.

General rules

1. Follow standard conventions.
2. Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
3. Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
4. Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

GPG / Mutt / Gmail

About

This is a collection of snippets, not a comprehensive guide. I suggest you start with Operational PGP.

Here is an incomplete list of things that are different from other approaches:

• I don't use keyservers. Ever.
• Yes, I use Gmail instead of some bespoke hipster freedom service

This is a guide on how to email securely.

There are many guides on how to install and use PGP to encrypt email. This is not one of them. This is a guide on secure communication using email with PGP encryption. If you are not familiar with PGP, please read another guide first. If you are comfortable using PGP to encrypt and decrypt emails, this guide will raise your security to the next level.

I use tmux splits (panes). Inside one of these panes there's a Vim process, and it has its own splits (windows).

In Vim I have key bindings C-h/j/k/l set to switch windows in the given direction. (Vim default mappings for windows switching are the same, but prefixed with C-W.) I'd like to use the same keystrokes for switching tmux panes.

An extra goal that I've solved with a dirty hack is to toggle between last active panes with C-\.

Here's how it should work:
