Boolean Algebra in a nutshell for JS/TS programmers

There are a lot of strategies that you will hear about in the Javascript community for keeping your conditionals from becoming a tangled mess. This isn't like them. This is someting different. MATH! Boolean Algebra to be exact. I use it all the time to simplify complex conditionals. There are two things that you need to know: de Morgan's Theorem, and Karnaugh (pronounced CAR-no) Maps. (Don't worry, there is no test)

de Morgan's Theorem

De Morgan's Theorem is great distributing nots (!), and for when you want to convert an && to an ||, or back. This is it:

 !(A && B) = !A || !B

IMPORTANT NOTE:

It's come to my attention that some people have been spamming issue trackers with a link to this gist. While it's a good idea to inform people of the situation in principle, please do not do this. By all means spread the word in the communities that you are a part of, after verifying that they are not aware yet, but unsolicited spam is not helpful. It will just frustrate people.

Effective Modern CMake

Getting Started

For a brief user-level introduction to CMake, watch C++ Weekly, Episode 78, Intro to CMake by Jason Turner. LLVM’s CMake Primer provides a good high-level introduction to the CMake syntax. Go read it now.

After that, watch Mathieu Ropert’s CppCon 2017 talk Using Modern CMake Patterns to Enforce a Good Modular Design (slides). It provides a thorough explanation of what modern CMake is and why it is so much better than “old school” CMake. The modular design ideas in this talk are based on the book [Large-Scale C++ Software Design](https://www.amazon.de/Large-Scale-Soft

How to make Windows 7 USB flash install media from Linux?

StackOverflow

• Install ms-sys - if it is not in your repositories, get it here. Or alternatively, make sure lilo is installed (but do not run the liloconfig step on your local box if e.g. Grub is installed there!)
• Check what device your USB media is assigned - here we will assume it is /dev/sdb. Delete all partitions, create a new one taking up all the space, set type to NTFS (7), and remember to set it bootable:

# cfdisk /dev/sdb
or fdisk /dev/sdb (partition type 7, and bootable flag)

How to make a Minecraft mod

Minecraft mods, especially mods which change the client, are by and large written with Forge. If you visit their website, you'll be greeted abruptly by a mysterious message at the top of an SMF forum, with no clear path towards actually... making a mod. I'm documenting here the steps I went through to get started, in the hopes of helping the next person have an easier time of it.

I'll be using Scala for this guide, but it should be fairly easy to adapt these instructions to any JVM language (e.g. clojure or if you're feeling masochistic, Java). I'm also developing on OS X, so some of the commands will be a little different if you're on Linux or Windows. I'm assuming you have some proficiency with your operating system, so I won't go into details about how to adapt those commands to your system.

Background

Minecraft doesn't have an official mod API (despite early [promises](http://notch.t
