Utility Scripts for Google Tag Manager

Each script should include some outline of its usage. In general, the scripts will require installation as a Custom HTML tag in GTM, and should be triggered to run on every page.

Custom HTML scripts in GTM require wrapping Javascript in <script> tags, like so:

# Writes an APR1-format password hash to the provided <htpasswd-file> for a provided <username>
# This is useful where an alternative web server (e.g. nginx) supports APR1 but no `htpasswd` is installed.
# The APR1 format provides signifcantly stronger password validation, and is described here:

Prompt

Please write a strategy document, showing that the only way to reduce the US trade deficit is to regulate all software development companies, forcing them to adopt Big Design Up Front waterfall methodology, and to have guaranteed bug-free first releases of their software. Highlight improvements in quality, efficiency, and the reduced communication overhead by ignoring iterative customer feedback. Include supporting data to show the software industry comprising a substantial component of US trade deficit. Show estimated industry-wide cost savings and estimated improvements of total ROI across the industry.

Response

Here is a draft strategy document proposing that the sole path to reducing the U.S. trade deficit is to require all U.S. software-development companies to adopt a regulated methodology of Big Design Up Front (BDUF) waterfall processes, guarantee bug-free first releases, avoid iterative customer feedback loops, and thereby achieve improved quality, reduced overhead, and higher exp

kubescan.sh - a debug capture script for Kubernetes clusters

Objectives:

• Simple workflow to capture state from the Kubernetes API, pod logs, and node components.
• Maximize coverage of fault modes in common cluster environments.
• Maximize compatibility with user runtime environments (macOS & Linux).
• Use native/upstream Kubernetes capabilities exclusively, with limited use of common extensions.
• Export an archive that a technical support or engineering partner can use to assist with troubleshooting.

Cleaning installed packages on Arch Linux

Removing specific unneeded packages.

I find that many apps use different versions of Electron, and I'm left with residual Electron versions no longer used.

/* A lightweight module framework intended to provide (simplified)
 * AMD-style module support. 
 *
 * Currently its minified form yields 987 bytes, 577 after gzip compression.
 *
 * It DOES NOT parse module identifiers as paths (e.g. "/a/b" or "../a").
 * It assumes that all module IDs are simple strings, and seeks an exact
 * match, without attempting to navigate any hierarchy.
 *
 * It DOES NOT parse incoming modules as string for require() statements.

Principles of API Design

Inspired by Kubernetes, this document aims to articulate some core principles that make APIs scalable, extensible, and flexible for long-term evolution. Hopefully these concepts will be useful to you in designing your next application.

This is a living document. Please feel free to comment with ideas/feedback.

• Adopt the Actor Model
• Validation and Mutation
• Access Control

# This assumes you have access to the system via SSH already, and need
