You will need to connect your phone first, using USB.

With the USB cable:

adb tcpip 5555

Find out the IP address of your phone

Exporting multiple blobs from an SQL database.

This is tested for MySQL with Linux or OSX

I was in a situation where I had images saved into an SQL table, as "blobs" and needed to export them into proper jpg files.

This relies on the SQL syntax SELECT INTO DUMPFILE. However this command can only export one row at a time.

1. Get the IDs of the rows we want to export

Notes: See this section DKIM is a single domain setup. For multiple domains we need multiple DKIM keys. In /etc/rspamd/local.d/dkim_signing.conf, we would rather need something like this (source):

path = "/var/lib/rspamd/dkim/$domain.$selector.key";

GPS coordinates of major cities in the world

... to place markers on a map.

This code runs in the browser debugging console.

I parse this page to extract geographical coordibates for major cities:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_cities_by_longitude&printable=yes

Just open this page in your browser, launch your debugging console and get ready to copy-paste.

Sometimes drop-down or contextual menus appear at the wrong position on the screen.
Upon moving the parent window, it appears that the menu position is not updated. They still appear at the same position.

To reproduce with affected applications, open app, open drop-down menu, move app window, open same drowpdown menu - observe that the menu has not moved with the window and is subsequently now appearing at a wrong position.
If the window is resized, the menus get re-aligned.

There is such a bug in sway too. But over there it seems to affect everything (pcmanfm, lxterminal, subl, chromium...)

 - Side effects (usually unwanted)
 - Sometimes impractical: eg: vertical-align
 - Sometimes too high level / opinionated and inflexible (related to all of above)
 - Cascading - most of the inhertiance is unwanted
 - Global-variable-like issues
 - Overriding

__Improvements

I think it would be an important improvement, to be able to compound CSS blocks. A bit like less mixins, but at a native level. At the moment, if we are not using a pre-processor, we have to add multiple classes on elements (eg: <div class="col-2 pad-1 size-3">). That is neither powerful nor semantic.
