Re: How to set a Static IP in Ubuntu – Ubuntu Network Configuration

qu1j0t3 — Wed, 31 Jan 2018 12:50:04 -0000

Did not work for me on Ubuntu 18.04 bionic. After restarting Network Manager and networking services, still retains the DHCP address rather than the static one. (Also the interface is enp3s0 rather than eth0.)

That hack is clever, but one way you can get a genuine N3 socket is to buy a Yongnuo adapter. I found a very cheap one on eBay, product number LS-02/C1 "shutter connecting cord". It has the N3 on one end and a male 2.5" stereo jack on the other.

Re: Homebrew and MySQL Strict Mode

qu1j0t3 — Tue, 10 Jan 2017 15:14:36 -0000

Hi, I found that with Homebrew mysql 5.7.17, the *only* method that still works is adding a ~/.my.cnf and brew services restart mysql

/usr/local/opt/mysql/support-files/my-default.cnf is not looked at, and there is no my.cnf under /usr/local/Cellar/

my-default.cnf includes the following warning:

# For advice on how to change settings please see
# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/re...
# *** DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE. It's a template which will be copied to the

Editing auto.cnf in /usr/local/var/mysql/ doesn't work, nor does adding a my.cnf in there.

Homebrew definitely needs to clarify the right way to customise configuration since it doesn't seem to use my-default.cnf as a template the way that web page above says.

The alternatives aren't only "password managers" and "password reuse". I'd remove the implied dichotomy.

Re: Building OpenJDK 8 on Mac OS X Mavericks

qu1j0t3 — Sun, 04 Jan 2015 18:46:46 -0000

Turns out the CGBase.h file is only present in the Xcode SDKs, not in /System/Library/Frameworks (!).

Got past this one by changing -F to point into /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents//Develop..., in jdk/make/lib/PlatformLibraries.gmk

Brutal, but works. I wonder what the _right_ way to do this is.

Now I'm up to this boss:

This was extremely helpful. Here I am, 11 months later, trying the current code base on Mavericks.

After brew'ing gcc-4.9, freetype, etc., and following your excellent patching advice (and installing the mysterious "Java Developer Package" which provides JavaNativeFoundation.framework), I am stalled on a new error that google hasn't helped with:

Yes, brew also installs gcc-4.9 now.

Conventional RAID doesn't have the integrity measures that ZFS provides, and nor does the conventional write-in-place filesystem that would typically be running on top of it.

Re: PHP: the quiet powerhouse

Direct embedding is a poor way to do templating. Type safe template systems exist; Facebook even designed a superior one for PHP (XHP) because string munging can't be made reliable and provides no assistance in adhering to a schema. Another example would be Scala and its web frameworks which exploit fully typed XML literals.

Does anyone really think PHP won't be a relic in 15 years? Developers deserve better, and language design moves on.

It derives from C (1973), which is why PHP, Java, Perl, etc, have it. Even bash has it (if you don't know where, then it is your challenge to find out :)

Actually there is a way to properly cancel it, as I just learned from: http://analysisandreview.co...

$ sudo killall shutdown

In particular, the Save box won't prevent a shutdown -s (sleep).
