History and Motivation The list of static site generators is very long, but which one should you choose? When I ported this blog from Drupal to static HTML, I chose Spress, written in PHP, because PHP was my main programming language, its code looked well-thought-out, relied on established libraries and did everything I wanted out of the box and with a minimum amount of configuration. However, during the last year there was only one minor release of Spress and I missed some features I saw in other projects:
This is a step-by-step introduction into aggregating and analyzing errors from a JSON error log (where each error is a JSON object on a single line) with the tool jq. While most tutorials and documentation of jq focus on how to transform JSON objects to other JSON objects on a 1:1 basis, this tutorial is more about building aggregates, using an approach that takes a page out of functional programming.
At the SoCraTes conference I attended a demo of the fish shell and was so impressed that I pledged to use fish instead of zsh as my main shell for 4 weeks. This is the result of the experiment and contains my collected experiences.
Fish is awesome I really like fish and will continue to use it. The syntax highlighting of the the commands gives immediate feedback (unknown commands are shown in red) and the command autosuggestions are a real time saver.
