Set up postgres + database on MacOS (M1)

Based on this blogpost.

Install with Homebrew:

$ brew install postgresql@14

(The version number 14 needs to be explicitly stated. The @ mark designates a version number is specified. If you need an older version of postgres, use postgresql@13, for example.)

ES Modules are terrible, actually

ES Modules are terrible, actually

This post was adapted from an earlier Twitter thread.

It's incredible how many collective developer hours have been wasted on pushing through the turd that is ES Modules (often mistakenly called "ES6 Modules"). Causing a big ecosystem divide and massive tooling support issues, for... well, no reason, really. There are no actual advantages to it. At all.

It looks shiny and new and some libraries use it in their documentation without any explanation, so people assume that it's the new thing that must be used. And then I end up having to explain to them why, unlike CommonJS, it doesn't actually work everywhere yet, and may never do so. For example, you can't import ESM modules from a CommonJS file! (Update: I've released a module that works around this issue.)

And then there's Rollup, which apparently requires ESM to be u

Pure ESM package

Pure ESM package

The package that linked you here is now pure ESM. It cannot be require()'d from CommonJS.

This means you have the following choices:

  1. Use ESM yourself. (preferred)
    Use import foo from 'foo' instead of const foo = require('foo') to import the package. You also need to put "type": "module" in your package.json and more. Follow the below guide.
  2. If the package is used in an async context, you could use await import(…) from CommonJS instead of require(…).
  3. Stay on the existing version of the package until you can move to ESM.

Add Authentication with Auth0 to a Gatsby site

All the pieces of authentication are possible in Gatsby. Thanks to Auth0, setting it up doesn't have to be so cumbersome!

This setup comes straight from Auth0's official quick start for React.


The first step is installing the official Auth0 SDK for React from npm.

With GitHub Actions, a workflow can publish artifacts, typically logs or binaries. As of early 2020, the life time of an artifact is hard-coded to 90 days (this may change in the future). After 90 days, an artifact is automatically deleted. But, in the meantime, artifacts for a repository may accumulate and generate mega-bytes or even giga-bytes of data files.

It is unclear if there is a size limit for the total accumulated size of artifacts for a public repository. But GitHub cannot reasonably let multi-giga-bytes of artifacts data accumulate without doing anything. So, if your workflows regularly produce large artifacts (such as "nightly build" procedures for instance), it is wise to cleanup and delete older artifacts without waiting for the 90 days limit.

Using the Web page for the "Actions" of a repository, it is possible to browse old workflow runs and manually delete artifacts. But the procedure is slow and tedious. It is fine to delete one selected artifact. It is not for a regular cleanup. We need

Generating an SVG from a set of shapefiles

Generating an SVG from a set of shapefiles

The USGS provides detailed downloads of fire perimeters, with timestamped files that can be used to show the spread of a major fire over time.

Using the 2017 Thomas fire as an example, we'll process this data into a single SVG file with all the different perimeter measurements.

This index page contains links to a series of shapefiles of the fire boundary, each one with a timestamp:
