Re: My sales pitch for TypeScript

Marc — Sun, 16 Mar 2025 11:23:23 -0000

I just converted a small project to TypeScript. Errors reported: hundreds. Bugs discovered: zero. TypeScript definitely makes you safer because it’s dead strict but the cost in effort (and effort) is considerable. Many errors are caught by ESLint just as well as TS.

Re: How to Build a Shopping Cart with Ionic 4

Why are you making a new grid inside every item? Surely it would make more sense to make one grid with a row per cart entry.

OMG a getter which validates, while the setter doesn't. 🤦‍♂️

Just disable iMessage completely- who needs it?

Re: Kubernetes NodePort and iptables rules

Marc — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 15:35:37 -0000

When my master goes down in my 2-node master+worker cluster requests to my worker fail 50% of the time. The worker is perfectly healthy but something is blindly sending traffic round-robin to a pod on the master node which no longer exists. Is this because of the IP tables? Is there a way for the worker to actively check the pods it’s balancing?

Re: Using envsubst to Merge Environment Variables into Config Files

Marc — Sun, 20 Feb 2022 03:57:57 -0000

This is not working for me:
PERSON=foo; echo 'hello ${PERSON}' | envsubst
Results in "hello " and not "hello foo".

Re: Making tmux Pretty and Usable - A Guide to Customizing your tmux.conf

Actually, new panes are opened on the path you started tmux with. A good tip nevertheless!

Don't worry, nobody will be blindly pasting code from the web with tmux - they made pasting waaay to hard for that to work.

Looks like you can't add any custom headers to the BITS option either.

How would you enable TLS 1.2 by default (for all sessions) in Linux (pwsh)?

Re: Using Elasticsearch on Amazon EC2 | Chris Simpson - Software Developer

Marc — Thu, 14 May 2020 13:12:35 -0000

Your "yellow node" points here saying the article describes how to add a node to a cluster. I failed to find these instructions here... I ask because I started a 2nd node with the same cluster.name and the cluster still thinks there is only one node...

Re: Getting started with Kafka and Node.js with example

Marc — Mon, 04 May 2020 14:31:31 -0000

Is Java only required to *run* Kafka?
You see, I'm allergic to programming Java - my Doctor says it could kill me.

Re: Elasticsearch Scoring Changes In Action

Marc — Mon, 10 Feb 2020 03:26:14 -0000

Can you explain exactly how "dl" is counted. I am getting a dl of 2.0 which makes no sense: I have no documents with a field of length 2.

Re: Running locally installed npm executables

Marc — Sun, 17 Nov 2019 04:43:52 -0000

That’s because npm adds local .bin/ directories to the shell path before it executes scripts.

Where do these little-known features hide. How awesome!

Re: Set Up AWS CLI and Download Your S3 Files From the Command Line

Re: Setting Up Docker for Windows and WSL to Work Flawlessly

OK, so it's about being at home in a linuxy shell. How would git for windows' bash shell suite that purpose?

Re: Setting Up Docker for Windows and WSL to Work Flawlessly

Marc — Sat, 02 Nov 2019 04:13:32 -0000

I must have missed the Why? Why would one run Docker on Windows and then use WSL to connect to it??

Re: Azure DevOps Multi-Stage Pipelines Approval Strategies

Marc — Fri, 01 Nov 2019 07:42:42 -0000

Can anyone explain what an Environment actually *does* outside the context of Kubernetes? If we're using on-prem agents - how do we assign/align agents (servers) with environments if DevOps only lets us assign Kubernetes resources to environments.

Re: Live Reloading for Developing Electron Apps

Marc — Wed, 27 Mar 2019 15:49:48 -0000

electron-reload relies on fs.existsSync which is buggy on windows (saying files don't exist when they do). Just hack node_modules/electron-reload/main.js (line 84) and remove ` && fs.existsSync(eXecutable)`.

Re: Windows 10 100% disk usage in Task Manager [SOLVED]

Reformatting and re-installing windows has removed the problem, at least for now. A "secure erase" seems to be a more permanent fix but apparently complicated to achieve.
