Ruby on Rails locales-find script for fuzzy searching through locales yaml files using full dot notation part

Hacked together a quick ruby script for fuzzy searching for locale keys with their full dot notation part. It loads all yaml files in config/locales, flattenes all the key paths like sv.foo.bar.baz and prints the value and filename after. The result is passed through fzf for fuzzy filtering.

bin/locales-find | fzf --ansi -e

or maybe: docker-compose run --rm web bin/locales-find 2>/dev/null | fzf --ansi -e

VSCode settings.json typescript.tsdk double backslash windows workaround Next.js

VSCode does not provide a way to have OS specific .vscode/settings.json for a project. microsoft/vscode#5595

Next.js adds property to it with a value that needs to be different for windows:

• macOS/Linux "typescript.tsdk": "node_modules/typescript/lib"
• Windows "typescript.tsdk": "node_modules\\typescript\\lib"

This is problematic when you want the file to be shared and tracked by version control.

Node.js script for detecting inconsistent character images in small-burg-towns-pack Smallburg base pack

Smallburg Base Pack (Smallburg Village Pack)

is a really cool pixel art pack by almostApixel that you can find on itch.io.

I was playing around with the folder of images and started building a little demo that generates a random character in a random state, with random skin, random hair etc.

But then I noticed that some images didn't load. The file paths I were relying on weren't consistent. If I for example randomized an adult character with a dark brown ponytail, then the image wouldn't work

How to write AppleScript JXA JavaScript in Vim or VS Code with TypeScript types

If you have written an AppleScript before, you might have felt the same way as I did, that it was a poor experience to use the Script Editor app, it's barely better than writing the script in any text editor or in a heredoc to run using osascript.

Luckily you could try the JXA variant instead, AppleScript using Javascript. But writing such a file in the Script Editor app is not a better experience sadly.
