mhulse / How to delete a story from Lightning, for keeps.md

Caché DTI ContentPublisher v7.7.3 and above: dt_cms_schema.SEOStoryLookup SQL goodies!

Update (2013/06/17):

On top of deleting stories from dt_cms_schema.CMSStoryPubTracking and dt_cms_schema.SEOStoryLookup (see below), Craig M. recently discovered that one needs to delete "related" and/or "popular" stories as well.

Find orphaned SEO stories:

select distinct top 100 cmsStoryId as SEO_CMSStoryId from dt_cms_schema.seostorylookup seo where not exists (select pub.CMSStory from dt_cms_schema.CMSStoryPubTracking pub where seo.cmsStoryId = pub.CMSStory) and cmsStoryId is not null;

Clipboard code prepend script

Clipboard code prepend script

This is a simple Zsh script designed to help developers who want to use AI services (like ChatGPT) to convert their code into multiple programming languages. The script’s goal is to streamline the process of adding a structured prompt to the clipboard for easier AI interaction.

Features

  • Automatically adds a customizable conversion prompt to existing code in the clipboard
  • Supports multiple programming languages (e.g., Ruby, TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, Python)
  • Uses pbpaste and pbcopy for clipboard management
  • Designed for macOS, with an option for cross-platform extension

Notable BETA channel installation instructions and global settings

macOS installation

  1. Visit the Notable “Insiders” GitHub repo
  2. Download the Notable-<latest-version>-mac.zip build from the releases page (e.g. Notable-1.9.0-beta.9-mac.zip)
  3. Double-click to open the zip, and then drag the app to your Applications directory (I think you can double click on the app, and macOS will ask if you want to move it)
  4. Open Notable (⌘ + SPACE and type Notable)

To view/edit your settings, type COMMAND + ,.

Use SHIFT + COMMAND + P to open your command palette.

Setting up CORS on Google Cloud Storage: An unofficial quick start guide to serving web fonts from Google's cloud. (I'm sure a lot of this info could be improved... Please leave comments if you have tips/improvements.)

Login:

Google Cloud Storage

You'll want to login using an official Google account (i.e. if this is for your company, use the comapany Gmail account vs. a personal one.)

When logging in, you might be prompted to verify the account; if so, enter your cell number to get a verification e-mail or phone call.

Once verified, you'll have to agree to the terms of service; do that, and click continue.
