Michael Kaplan Obituary – Berkowitz-Kumin-Bookatz | Cleveland Heights OH (and a whole bunch of info in zero width Unicode stuff)

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/01/02

I totally missed the passing of Michael Scott Kaplan some 2 years ago, so a belated R.I.P. is in place.

Obituary for Michael Kaplan, Michael Scott Kaplan, 45, passed away Wednesday, October 21, 2015, in Redmond, WA, after a brave battle with MS for 25 years. He was a lead software developer for Microsoft.

Source: [WayBack] Michael Kaplan Obituary – Berkowitz-Kumin-Bookatz | Cleveland Heights OH

Michael was the leading source on i18n, L10N, Unicode, sorting, normalisation and other things having to do with languages, representations and writing.

Besides that he was a really nice guy of which I enjoyed his MSDN materials.

Other people enjoy that too, so I’m glad his writings have been archived: [first archive.is, second archive.is, WayBack] Sorting it All Out: Archives

Reinstalling atom.io: getting the user-installed package list then re-installing it.

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/01/02

Sometimes your Atom installation gets so unstable that the quickest solution is a reinstall. For that you need to get a list of user-installed packages, then re-install them.

On Windows your Atom Package Manager apm is here (but not in the path), where the first is version specific and the latter the most recent version:

%LOCALAPPDAT%\atom\app-1.18.0\resources\cli\apm.cmd
%LOCALAPPDATA%\atom\bin\apm.cmd

On Mac OS X, it is here and in the path:

/usr/local/bin/apm
/Applications/Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app/apm/node_modules/.bin/apm

Save your packages:

apm list --installed --bare > package-list.txt

Install packages:

apm install --packages-file package-list.txt

For my own memory, the settings folders:

  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.atom
  • Mac OS X: ~/.atom
