Utility function that adds in some jQuery-like syntactic sugar
// jQuery-like syntactic sugar. Only queries for one element. Does not loop over multiple like jQuery
function $(query) {
if (typeof query === 'undefined') throw 'No query provided to $';
var el;
if (typeof query.nodeType === 'string') {
el = query;
} else if (typeof query === 'string' && query[0] === '<') {
const container = document.createElement('div');
container.innerHTML = query;

Adding PIXEL to Raspbian Lite

Adding PIXEL/GUI to Raspbian Lite

These 'notes' were primarily intended for my own consumption but since there have been surprisingly many comments to it over the years I wanted to do some updates and clarifications. Thanks for all comments.

These instructions will require you to have connection to internet from your pi, WiFi, Ethernet or by some other means like a 3G USB dongle or something.

Running a Node.js application using nvm as a systemd service

Read this first!

Hi there! Since this post was originally written, nvm has gained some new tools, and some people have suggested alternative (and potentially better) approaches for modern systems. Make sure to have a look at the comments to this article, before following this guide!

Using Git to Manage a Live Web Site

Using Git to Manage a Live Web Site

Overview

As a freelancer, I build a lot of web sites. That's a lot of code changes to track. Thankfully, a Git-enabled workflow with proper branching makes short work of project tracking. I can easily see development features in branches as well as a snapshot of the sites' production code. A nice addition to that workflow is that ability to use Git to push updates to any of the various sites I work on while committing changes.

How does `ls` work?

How does ls work?

I wanted to be really able to explain to a fair amount of detail how does the program ls actually work right from the moment you type the command name and hit ENTER. What goes on in user space and and in kernel space? This is my attempt and what I have learned so far on Linux (Fedora 19, 3.x kernel).

How does the shell find the location of 'ls' ?
