gruber / Liberal Regex Pattern for Web URLs

Liberal, Accurate Regex Pattern for Matching Web URLs
The regex patterns in this gist are intended only to match web URLs -- http,
https, and naked domains like "example.com". For a pattern that attempts to
match all URLs, regardless of protocol, see: https://gist.github.com/gruber/249502
# Single-line version:

Activate and deactivate commands for working with conda environments in the fish shell. Currently assumes you are switching to a named environment, not specifying a directory.
function condalist -d 'List conda environments.'
for dir in (ls $HOME/miniconda3/envs)
echo $dir
end
end
function condactivate -d 'Activate a conda environment' -a cenv
if test -z $cenv
echo 'Usage: condactivate <env name>'
return 1

monitoring manifesto

monitoring: what I want

I've recently shifted from a straight engineering job to a job with a "dev/ops" title. What I have discovered in operations land depresses me. The shoemaker's children are going unshod. Operations software is terrible.

What's driving me craziest right now is my monitoring system.

what I have right now

What I have right now is Nagios.

requiring npm modules in the browser console

demo gif

The final result: require() any module on npm in your browser console with browserify

This article is written to explain how the above gif works in the chrome (and other) browser consoles. A quick disclaimer: this whole thing is a huge hack, it shouldn't be used for anything seriously, and there are probably much better ways of accomplishing the same.

Update: There are much better ways of accomplishing the same, and the script has been updated to use a much simpler method pulling directly from browserify-cdn. See this thread for details: mathisonian/requirify#5
