Re: Chocolatey Software | Google Cloud SDK (Install) 0.0.0.20201113

This no longer works. The installer has experienced a significant changes. If the current maintainer is not going to update the package, it needs a new maintainer.

Re: Remount ejected USB Drive in Windows without physically reconnecting it

BrunoBronosky — Thu, 15 Nov 2018 22:54:08 -0000

Because of the price of plane tickets, many of us are not willing to unplug and replug a USB device to remount it on a machine that we are connected to via RDC from thousands of miles away.

This still does not work. I don't have time to figure out how to try to become the maintainer, modify the package, etc. For now, you can use this ugly command to specify the checksum manually.

choco install --download-checksum-x64=9C49FBF30CA1C14838E529CD8198E1CDE8588FB06EED45841406D6421AC088DA --download-checksum-type-x64=sha256 fritzing

Re: How to automatically execute shell script at startup boot on systemd Linux

Linux works by having specific text in files in specific locations. There is no clicky graphic interface. The file system is the Registry™. Lot's of projects have built GUI interfaces to run on Linux. But Linux is not GUI.

Re: Why Oracle Java 7 And 6 Installers No Longer Work

BrunoBronosky — Mon, 04 Dec 2017 12:25:51 -0000

The file jdk-7u80-linux-x64.tar.gz from that site had the correct md5sum of 6152f8a7561acf795ca4701daa10a965 as specified by https://www.oracle.com/webf...

Oracle has sent us to the back alleys to get our binaries. Luckily they provide checksums. Make sure your use them. Oracle's decision to stop providing these downloads is certain to cause a data breach for someone. Don't let it be you.

Re: Developers Who Use Spaces Make More Money Than Those Who Use Tabs

BrunoBronosky — Fri, 16 Jun 2017 11:43:23 -0000

I hated that scene so badly! Even as a vim user who insists on spaces, it would annoy me to watch a person hit the spacebar. I would have shown her how to `:set ts=4 sts=4 sw=4 et` and been done with it. Then she can use Tab, Backspace, and Delete and it would work like tab characters. Problem solved, go make love.

Re: Developers Who Use Spaces Make More Money Than Those Who Use Tabs

This is what every affective developer does. You use spaces. Not understanding what you described is what causes Directors/CEOs and the writer(s) of Silicon Valley (on HBO) to get it wrong.

Re: Developers Who Use Spaces Make More Money Than Those Who Use Tabs

BrunoBronosky — Fri, 16 Jun 2017 11:20:29 -0000

"what if..."? That's exactly what it is. "companies which pay more are more likely to have coding standards that require spaces" These well paying companies hire good developers. These good developers suggest standards. The companies let natural order happen. The outliers eventually fail.

Re: Developers Who Use Spaces Make More Money Than Those Who Use Tabs

BrunoBronosky — Fri, 16 Jun 2017 11:05:56 -0000

Do not confuse spaces with space bar. I've never seen an affective coder use the spacebar. Why? Because if you are affective, you don't put up with inefficient tools, you modify them or make your own. If you can't conform to space indention, it is a pattern that will also affect other areas.

Re: Secret colours of the Commodore 64

Yes. You can do this today. But, at the old refresh rates, I don't think that would have worked back then. BTW, This is exactly how multicolor LEDs work.

If I can find the time I will convert "tartan for the clan McPuke" to HSB and then calculate the deltas for all the secret colors. I think we will quickly find a pattern for which combinations look appealing and which ones are responsible for my inability to finish my coffee.

Re: How to paste in Cygwin bash using CTRL-V

BrunoBronosky — Tue, 24 Jan 2017 16:30:50 -0000

@Jeff Bower helped me greatly so I'm going to return the favor. Since we are now using Ctrl+Shift+v to paste, we can set up a mapping in vim like so

:imap <type ctrl+shift+v=""> <type ctrl+v=""><type ctrl+r="">*

on the command line it will look like

:imap <96> ^R*

. That's for insert mode. If you want it to work for command mode do a

cmap

for normal mode do an

nmap

I found my test.dat file at /c/Program\ Files/Python35/Lib/site-packages/win32/test.dat I suggest you modify that script to put the file exactly where you want it. For example, if you wanted to write to a file in your Documents folder:

import os
os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~'), 'Documents', 'file.dat')

I have this module: http://www.hobbyking.com/ho... and can bind but nothing else. I can't even get the SH switch to toggle acro mode. Do I have the wrong module?

I'm tempted to say, "Look on the bright side. At least you're getting kissed. My first wife and I didn't even kiss." But then you'd notice "first wife" and there is no bright side to that. Sounds to me like the two of you are too far apart to come together. It's been 2 years. How did it turn out?

Re: Funky User-Agent on Facebook iPhone app

It gets even funkier on iPad where it begins "Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU iPhone OS" (notice the presence of both strings "iPad" and "iPhone") That's going to require a lot of people to update their RegExes to match the trailing semicolon, i.e. not to match on "iPhone" but only on "iPad;"
