Discover gists

I came across 'bundler/inline' in Bundler pull request 3440, which I'd found from Rails pull request 20429. This now has a little snippet on the What's new page of the Bundler site.

This little example demonstrates how I might use it to create a single file using minitest.

I've just noticed that this script was working for me because I already had minitest installed as a system gem. If I uninstall the gem then the script fails because it can't find minitest. The source code documents an option to install gems if they don't exist (gemfile(true) do) but that doesn't seem to work for me. I see the following error:

Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/...
Fetching version metadata from https://rubygems.org/..

Using metaclass 0.0.4

ZSH CheatSheet

This is a cheat sheet for how to perform various actions to ZSH, which can be tricky to find on the web as the syntax is not intuitive and it is generally not very well-documented.

Strings

Description	Syntax
Get the length of a string	`${#VARNAME}`
Get a single character	`${VARNAME[index]}`

Measuring Light

Light is measured in two ways. Radiometry measures the energy impinging on a sensor, and photometry attempts to qualitatively measure light to represent how a human observer experiences light. Radiometry is important when physical metrics must be preserved, such as in simulation tasks, and photometry is important in subjective tasks, such as selecting lights to illuminate a street.

Radiometric Units

Radiometric units measure the physical properties of light, independent of human perception. These units are based on the total energy or power of light across all wavelengths.

To better understand how these radiometric units are related, imagine a conceptual "cube" where each axis represents a dimension of measurement integration:

How to Have a Successful Application to Google Summer of Code ☀️

Hi! I welcome you to the document that explains how to create the most successful application for Google Summer of Code based on my observations and discovered patterns. This will not only apply to Google Summer of Code, but it will also be helpful in other aspects of your professional life.

There's a hidden pattern to successful Google Summer of Code applications - one that I discovered after being accepted to not just one but two GSoC organizations: Google DeepMind and Joplin.

	# Project Policy

	This policy provides a single, authoritative, and machine-readable source of truth for AI coding agents and humans, ensuring that all work is governed by clear, unambiguous rules and workflows. It aims to eliminate ambiguity, reduce supervision needs, and facilitate automation while maintaining accountability and compliance with best practices.

	# 1. Introduction

	> Rationale: Sets the context, actors, and compliance requirements for the policy, ensuring all participants understand their roles and responsibilities.

	## 1.1 Actors

	// This DTS overlay sets up one input and one output pin for use by
	// PRU0 via its Enhanced GPIO mode, which will let us access those pins
	// by writing to R30 bit 15 or reading from R31 bit 14.

	// Save this file wherever you want (but I recommend /lib/firmware), as
	// "PRU-GPIO-EXAMPLE-00A0.dts".

	// Compile with:
	// dtc -O dtb -I dts -o /lib/firmware/PRU-GPIO-EXAMPLE-00A0.dtbo -b 0 -@ PRU-GPIO-EXAMPLE-00A0.dts

	# I use MacOS VMs from github for iOS development.
	# By no suprise they are a bit slow and have a lot of things I don't use
	# Hence this script for lighter and better VM for my iOS development and builds
	# GUI and animation related things to tweak
