  • Prevent empty new-line with Starship prompt

    From this GitHub issue: https://github.com/starship/starship/issues/560 Enter this to modify Starship’s configuration: starship config Put this near the very top: # Tuck “new line” inside the ($all) variable format = “””($all )$character””” # No new line between shell prompts add_newline = false # No line-break between shell prompts [line_break] disabled = true This works because anything…

  • WordPress 5.0 Beta 1

    I’m writing this post using the new block-based editor that comes packaged with the first WordPress 5.0 beta, known previously and externally as Gutenberg. For just general writing, so far it ain’t so bad, but one thing that bugs me straight away is that the auto-save causes the UI in the upper right corner to…

  • Stop syncing node_modules

    Put this in your .bash_aliases or equivalent: iCloud ignores files & folders with a .nosync extension, and also ignores symbolic links. This is the closest work-around I could find to prevent iCloud from having an endless recursive fit about it.

  • Facebook Remembers

    Paul’s birthday this year wasn’t particularly eventful. Usually we try to do something special for him on his special day, but there’s been so much happening around the house and in the coming weeks that yesterday just ended up being a normal day, with some extra treats and puppies sleeping in the bed to celebrate…

  • Turbo boost for bbPress 2.6

    Last week I literally had a dream about a way to improve performance in bbPress 2.6, and it worked better than I imagined. Here’s what I did, and how you might be able to do something similar. TL;DR Prime all the object caches.

  • Where’s my sanity?

    Yesterday, the wonderful Doc Pop drew up a cartoon for Torque that made the rounds and got some attention from a few pals and ex-colleagues that work on the Jetpack plugin for WordPress. Torque Toons: Where’s my Jetpack? For some reason, this comic bothered me. Well, not the actual comic itself, but my reaction to…
