dammit macports+mysql5
macports installs all the mysql 5 commands with a ‘5’ at the end. If you only have mysql5 and don’t care for having to remember to type that ‘5’ at each command, just run for file in /opt/local/bin/mysql*; do sudo ln -s $file `echo $file | sed "s/5$//"`; done; and be happy.

My SOPA letter
We are against piracy, but the way the bill is written now is far too broad and would stifle innovation and freedom of speech across the internet. As far as we can see, no competent technical expertise was consulted when writing the bill, and because of that, if passed into law, it will be very likely used in broad and over-reaching ways. It is easy to pass laws restricting freedom, but...

So you inherit some code from a russian predecessor who was coding in Windows. Predictably, the comments are in russian, and the encoding is CP-1251 (or koi-8, who knows). Here’s what you do: mkdir conv find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec bash -c 'iconv -f windows-1251 -t utf-8 "{}" > ./conv/"{}"' \; view gist then just copy the files from the new ./conv/ directory into their proper...

Bali
Intense rich colors, scents, the language like pealing and tinkling bells. Tegalalang, Denpasar, Mount Agung, Jalal Hanuman, the names echo and ring. The taste of Bali is the taste of unripe mango, sweet and tart. Mopeds swarm through the streets, flowing around cars, buzzing like a great drone of bees. It is customary to honk when approaching a sharp turn, in case there is someone coming from...

git - ignore local changes to tracked files
If you want to prevent committing (therefore also pushing) these local config files, you could use git update-index --assume-unchanged. Files marked with this flag will be assumed to never change (until you reset the flag with --no-assume-unchanged)

Anjuna To Assam is shamelessly fun and dancy modern goa/psytrance. Original and catchy; I’ve listened to it from start to end on repeat several times, which doesn’t happen often for me. Download it at Ektoplazm
