It works with Wayland as well! But annotating would be nice....

Re: Why composer is the best practices for updating Drupal 8 core and modules

siliconmeadow — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 13:34:45 -0000

Excellent - this was first in the results when I searched for "how to upgrade a drupal module with composer". I know I'd done it before, but if I don't use composer to upgrade modules every couple of months ago, I forget.

Good work and good writing. Thank you.

Thank you @Luís Cunha - it was just what I wanted and seems to do just what I'd like it to do. I had the same burning question that @edmun did.

What happens the first time I run it? Google says they're discontinuing the extension in three weeks time!

Re: Guake like dropdown terminal in mac os with iterm2

Thank you very much. It's always the first thing I want to do when setting up a new Mac. I need that head-up display terminal!

Have you ever used iTerm? Or worked with solarized themes? ZShell?

You've given me an idea of something I might be able to write up. The screenshot shows iTerm with a solarized dark theme, ZSH (ZShell), with a modified Bulletline theme for 'oh-my-zsh' (http://ohmyz.sh/)

Re: Quoting Quiverfull: Jim Bakker Does Not Understand How Eclipses Work?

siliconmeadow — Mon, 21 Aug 2017 11:38:30 -0000

Scientists have been able to identify when and where solar eclipses would happen since the 18th century. Using that voodoo known as mathematics. Jim Bakker has been claiming God speaks to him directly for fifty years.

Re: Docker Deep Dive

Next up in Module 5 Episode 6: I've managed to get the docker daemon running on the ubuntu box and communicating on the network (see below), but when I do the "export DOCKER_HOST" on the centos box, it has no effect.

Re: Docker Deep Dive

siliconmeadow — Wed, 26 Jul 2017 12:26:18 -0000

I just found what I think is the work around: use "dockerd" instead of "docker -d". For example, on my ubuntu vm, it's "dockerd -H 10.0.2.15:2375 &" at the 1 minute 20 mark.

Re: Docker Deep Dive

siliconmeadow — Wed, 26 Jul 2017 12:20:56 -0000

This needs some updates - I'm completely flummoxed at the "Installing and configuring Docker: Configuring Docker to communicate over the network".
Module 5 Episode 6.

Re: Fun with Drupal 8 configuration management

siliconmeadow — Tue, 25 Oct 2016 06:39:25 -0000

Good question - thanks for asking!

As I'm far more familiar with drush-make, it was my go-to tool for building the site. I might revisit this again, and look at using composer instead. Who knows, I might have to either update this post or create a new one.

Re: Fun with Drupal 8 configuration management

siliconmeadow — Tue, 25 Oct 2016 06:24:34 -0000

Good question - thanks for asking!

I suppose it's really down to the fact that I'm more familiar with using drush-make to automate site builds. If/when I find the time, I might do a separate branch and use composer to do the build. If I do, I'll update the post or maybe do a new post.

It would be interesting to see a difference between memcache and redis using the same kind of metrics.

Re: Transparency of things

siliconmeadow — Tue, 12 Apr 2016 09:41:04 -0000

Thanks for reminding us about the importance of transparency and that agile development is nothing without it. It's also ironic your post was published around the same time the Panama Papers has come to light.

Might I suggest you get Alberto to be the tester of all the food and drink you consume over the next few months/years? ;-)

Re: MARANGE HTC DESIRE MIUI V4 ROM

So far, this is by far the most reliable ICS ROM I've tried on my HTC Desire. But it's not as sexy or fast as others.

Re: Should you go AGILE?

siliconmeadow — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 07:51:54 -0000

I think it's worthwhile on any project which is going to take over two weeks or so. This is regardless of how many people are working on it. Even with only one developer, we create a sprint backlog if a project is over a week in length. If a project is over a month, we build a product backlog so we can choose what will be in the sprints.

Projects need to be managed anyway you look at it, so if you manage it with a sprint backlog then you're simply maintaining a to-do list (albeit with more features) which you should be doing anyway.

Re: Matthew Loberg - Installing Memcache On Arch

siliconmeadow — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 12:28:06 -0000

Thank you Matthew! Just what I needed. BTW, I think there's a typo - did you mean 'nobody' in:

memcached -d -m 512 -l 127.0.0.1 -p 11211 -u nobody

p.s. I'm also a web developer and from Minnesota, although I moved away in 1978. I still go back when I can.

Re: The White Savior Industrial Complex - Teju Cole - International - The Atlantic

siliconmeadow — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 06:06:39 -0000

I don't think it's in any way oversimplified. That was the point of it - Mr Cole is suggesting that we spend more time investigating the issue before concluding that THE RICH WESTERN CULTURE NEEDS TO WADE IN AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

Is it really about race?

Re: The White Savior Industrial Complex - Teju Cole - International - The Atlantic

siliconmeadow — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 03:31:09 -0000

The way you initially expressed the complexity of the situation in under ten 140 character snippets was superb. I am a middle class liberal white American male (damned labels, eh?), and I've always cringed at American sentimentality/banality AND yet still feel like a spoiled prick.

Until now, I'd thought the movie 'The Constant Gardener' was a fine representation of how the rich white civil servants are agents of multinational corporations exploiting the vulnerable. It took me on one of my favourite journeys of paranoia, disgust with 'the system' and heroic martyrdom. Thank you for pointing out what we all know and should never forget - the solution to such big issues can never be summarised in a 30 minute video or a 90+ minute Oscar winner.

I would also add that having 12-24 hours of non-stop celebrities and favourite bands playing live on TV has also proven ineffectual.

I applaud you for the phrase 'The White Savior Industrial Complex' - did you coin it? And also making the call to action one of 'due diligence'.
