Pure ESM package

The package that linked you here is now pure ESM. It cannot be require()'d from CommonJS.

This means you have the following choices:

1. Use ESM yourself. (preferred)
   Use import foo from 'foo' instead of const foo = require('foo') to import the package. You also need to put "type": "module" in your package.json and more. Follow the below guide.
2. If the package is used in an async context, you could use await import(…) from CommonJS instead of require(…).
3. Stay on the existing version of the package until you can move to ESM.

Mechanical keyboards

nice infographics on https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/jihbhi/custom_mechanical_keyboard_infographic_v30_is_now/

My Varmilo VA87M

Cherry MX Brown - to make it similar to the Sun Type 7 keyboard I was using previously (excellent keyboard however too wide).

Fn key - the "house/home" key

The Zen of Python

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/

• Beautiful is better than ugly.
• Explicit is better than implicit.
• Simple is better than complex.
• Complex is better than complicated.
• Flat is better than nested.
• Sparse is better than dense.
• Readability counts.

Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.

General rules

1. Follow standard conventions.
2. Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
3. Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
4. Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.

Fix for rubygems SSL certificate error on Windows

SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed

1. Download R1 GlobalSign Root Certificate: https://secure.globalsign.net/cacert/Root-R1.crt
2. Save it somewhere local, so you can easily access it from a command prompt.
3. Convert to a PEM file. openssl x509 -in Root-R1.crt -out GlobalSignRootR1.pem -outform PEM -inform DEF
4. Copy the new GlobalSignRootR1.pem file that it creates into: D:\Ruby23-x64\lib\ruby\2.3.0\rubygems\ssl_certs\ <-- this path will obviously be different depending on where you've got Ruby installed!

Offline Python Package Install Notes

Two common cases which make the install of Python packages harder due to networking issues are: a) Install behind a Proxy b) Install without access to the internet

(a) Install behind a Proxy

In the case where the target machine connects to the internet over a network proxy, export the following environment vars, as appropriate - http_proxy and https_proxy. Eg:

Generate private key (.key)

# Key considerations for algorithm "RSA" ≥ 2048-bit
openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048

# Key considerations for algorithm "ECDSA" ≥ secp384r1
# List ECDSA the supported curves (openssl ecparam -list_curves)
