FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.

# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
# programs.

# Once you're done here, go to

How to setup a practically free CDN using Backblaze B2 and Cloudflare

⚠️ Note 2023-01-21
Some things have changed since I originally wrote this in 2016. I have updated a few minor details, and the advice is still broadly the same, but there are some new Cloudflare features you can (and should) take advantage of. In particular, pay attention to Trevor Stevens' comment here from 22 January 2022, and Matt Stenson's useful caching advice. In addition, Backblaze, with whom Cloudflare are a Bandwidth Alliance partner, have published their own guide detailing how to use Cloudflare's Web Workers to cache content from B2 private buckets. That is worth reading,

Git, you bloody git

Overwrite untracked files in current branch from a remote branch

In a similar vein to git reset --hard feature/weavils you can just overwrite untracked working files (typically left over from branch experiments) which are part of the remote branch you're pulling like this:

git reset --hard origin/feature/weavils

Normally, if you tried git checkout feature/weavils you'd get warnings like untracked working tree files would be overwritten by merge, so hit them with the --hard hammer instead.

Enable flushing denormals to zero in Rust

Flushing denormals to zero

Floating-point operations can sometimes result in denormalized numbers or arithmetic underflow. Hardware conforming to IEEE 754 has to support these conditions (albeit with lower performance) to maintain some numerical accuracy.

In certain high-performance applications, it might be beneficial to ignore
