ld – Wading through Mac OS X linker hell

Intro

Friend: I tried looking at static linking in Mac OS X and it seems nearly impossible. Take a look at this http://stackoverflow.com/a/3801032

Me: I have no idea what that -static flag does, but I'm pretty sure that's not how you link to a library. Let me RTFM a bit.

Minutes later...

Use autofs on Mac OS X to mount network shares automatically during access

Autofs on Mac OS X

With autofs you can easily mount network volumes upon first access to the folder where you want to mount the volume. Autofs is available for many OS and is preinstalled on Mac OS X so I show you how I mounted my iTunes library folder using this method.

Prepare autofs to use a separate configuration file

autofs needs to be configured so that it knows where to gets its configuration. Edit the file /etc/auto_master and add the last line:

#
# Automounter master map
#

+auto_master # Use directory service

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

FilePicker for streamlit
"""FilePicker for streamlit.
Still doesn't seem to be a good solution for a way to select files to process from the server Streamlit is running on.
Here's a pretty functional solution.
Usage:

Getting poetry working on Macs with Apple Silicon

Problem

poetry shits the bed when trying to install ipykernel on Macs with Apple Silicon

reason

Microsoft.

Yeah. They made something called debugpy that ipykernel depends on which fails for inscritable reasons.

A common problem in software development and research is the "do-something"-"save data" loop. Often we are saving structured data over and over again, and this document looks at the fastest way to do this.

Solutions I will not consider

Writing each chunk of data to its own file

I will not consider this because:

  1. how do we combine these files later? This just kicks the can down the road
