Electron is tricky to get set up on Windows Subsystem for Linux, but it can work!

Four things needed overall:

1. you need WSL2, not WSL1
2. you need node, of course, and that part isn't so bad
3. you need to apt install several dependencies
4. you need an X Server so it can display the electron GUI over in Windows-land

Setup instructions, in order:

Summary

nbconvert has a preprocessor that clears cell outputs from notebook files, leaving cell inputs intact.

Example

The following shell command reads my_input_notebook.ipynb, removes its cell outputs, prints the cleaned notebook to stdout, and redirects that output to a new notebook file named my_output_notebook.ipynb.

jupyter nbconvert my_input_notebook.ipynb --to notebook --ClearOutputPreprocessor.enabled=True --stdout > my_output_notebook.ipynb

Synology NAS - How to make a program run at startup
The other day I created a little node.js project to keep track of some finances. Synology has a node.js package but that just installs the tools - it has no 'container' or any other support to drop files and have it run automagically. Maybe one day.

In the meantime, you can start your project when you SSH into the NAS. My project has a 'www' script which bootstraps my project, so to start I simply type 'node bin/www' from the project directory. But, it only runs while I'm logged in, and if I log out for any reason, the process dies. That's hardly useful when I'm away from home, or on a different PC. So I decided to have a look at starting my project as a Linux service.

After doing a lot of research into how Synology does services, and a few failed attempts at init scripts, I found that Synology DSM (since version 5 perhaps) bundles Upstart, which is a neat little tool to deal with services on Linux. It's most prevalent on Debian and derivatives (notably Ub

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would
