Multiple SSH Keys on same client

Check if you have existing keys by opening the terminal and entering: ssh-add -l OR ls -al ~/.ssh and check for any file called (usually) id_rsa or similar

Identify the host you're using your current key for. You probably added this key to, for example your github or gitlab account. We will use this later on.

If you don't have a config file on ~/.ssh folder, you will need to create one. We'll get back to this later.

Theming Slack for OSX

So, you love Slack, but you hate applications with large white backgrounds? Why not use Dark Mode!

Unfortunately, Slack does not have a Dark Mode, although it's on their list of possibilities.

But, don't fret - there is a solution! Because the slack native desktop apps are just wrappers around a web app, we can inject our own CSS to customize the application to our liking.

Descartes, Berkeley and Functional Reactive Programming

By @dmvaldman

Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) is generating buzz as an alternative to Object Oriented Programming (OOP) for certain use cases. However, an internet search quickly leads a curious and optimistic reader into the rabbit-hole of monads, functors, and other technical jargon. I’ve since emerged from this dark and lonely place with the realization that these words are mere implementation details, and that the core concepts are far more universal. In fact, the groundwork was laid down many centuries before the first computer, and has more to do with interpretations of reality, than structuring programs. Allow me to explain.

There’s an old thought experiment that goes like this:

Finding duplicate Pinboard bookmarks.

Run this Node script against your exported JSON file, which you'll need to enter in the FILEPATH variable.

The keyfor method returns the relevant part of the URL. You can customize it based on the available properties.
