Automating Daily Reports, because fuck it, really...

Each day at our company, developers are required to document their activities, painstakingly jotting down their daily work and future plans. A monotonous chore that I just really dislike.

So now, there's a scribe for that :

Code

rmeissn

#! /usr/bin/env bash

usage() {
  echo "
  Bind/unbind a USB device from a given vendor:product id
  Usage: $(basename "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}") [-h] [-d|--dry-run] [--hdmi|microsd|usba|ssd250] [--detect=deviceid:vendorid] [on|off]
  
  Example usage: $(basename "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}") --hdmi off
  Example usage: $(basename "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}") --detect=27c6:609c
  " >&2

#!/usr/bin/env julia

function ts_to_s(ts::AbstractString)
    secs = tryparse(Float64, ts)
    if secs !== nothing
        return secs
    end
    hours, mins, secs = parse.(Float64, split(ts, ':'))
    return (hours * 60 * 60) + (mins * 60) + secs
end

Native wayland support is now working consistently for me in VSCode, giving much better text rendering. Unfortunately, it's still hidden behind some command-line flags.

By adding some files to /usr/local/*, you can ensure that VSCode always launches with these flags.

Adding launch flags to VSCode

Assuming that the VSCode launcher is /usr/bin/code-oss (as is the case in Arch):

1. Create /usr/local/bin/code-oss with the following content:

Arch Linux ARM on Crostini

I got Arch Linux ARM installed on a Lenovo Chromebook Duet! I mostly used the instructions from the Arch Wiki as reference.

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}
