Git Pivotal

git pivotal --start <branch_01234567>|<01234567>
  Creates a new branch, sets its upstream to the correct remote branch then
  sets the task state to 'started'. If the branch name is omitted, the script
  will use the name of the current branch. If the branch name only contain an
  issue ID, the script will try to make use of the _git_pivotal completion.

git pivotal --clean

How to change Pantheon Terminal's color scheme

Many of us spend many hours of our days using their terminal. Plus, we all have different tastes when it comes to color schemes. That's why the ability to change the color scheme of a terminal is one of its more important featuresl. Throughout this tutorial, I'll teach you how you can change the looks of your terminal, step by step.

This tutorial is aimed at elementary OS users, but it also works for any Ubuntu user. Start by installing dconf-tools:

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

Secondly, you need to decide which theme you're going to apply. You can find dozens of terminal color schemes online, you can even design your own using this web application. Design the color scheme, hit "Get Scheme" and choose "Terminator". You'll get a raw text file with a background color, a foreground color and a palette. Those strings define your color scheme. In this tutorial, I'll post an

# This should not be used to deploy a production system but to

optimize GLTF file

This optimizes a GLTF file that was exported by blender (or similar) by de-duplicating buffer views (i.e. chunks of bytes) that are equal and removing redundant accessors.

For example, 100 cubes of different scales/materials/rotations/etc should all end up using a single BufferGeometry in ThreeJS, which isn't the case with current GLTF exporters in Blender and parsers for ThreeJS.

In scenes with a lot of instancing, it can dramatically reduce total file size as well as render performance. In one test scene:

Before: 4.8MB file size, 832 THREE.Geometry instances across 832 THREE.Mesh objects
After: 661KB file size, 13 THREE.Geometry instances across 832 THREE.Mesh objects

Give me back my sanity

One of the many things I do for my group at work is to take care of automating as many things as possible. It usually brings me a lot of satisfaction, mostly because I get a kick out of making people's lives easier.

But sometimes, maybe too often, I end up in drawn-out struggles with machines and programs. And sometimes, these struggles bring me to the edge of despair, so much so that I regularly consider living on a computer-less island growing vegetables for a living.

This is the story of how I had to install Pandoc in a CentOS 6 Docker container. But more generally, this is the story of how I think computing is inherently broken, how programmers (myself included) tend to think that their way is the way, how we're ultimately replicating what most of us think is wrong with society, building upon layers and layers of (best-case scenario) obscure and/or weak foundations.

*I would like to extend my gratitude to Google, StackOverflow, GitHub issues but mostly, the people who make the

Story: Writing Scripts with Go

This is a story about how I tried to use Go for scripting. In this story, I’ll discuss the need for a Go script, how we would expect it to behave and the possible implementations; During the discussion I’ll deep dive to scripts, shells, and shebangs. Finally, we’ll discuss solutions that will make Go scripts work.

Why Go is good for scripting?

While python and bash are popular scripting languages, C, C++ and Java are not used for scripts at all, and some languages are somewhere in between.
