Workaround formulier inschrijven verhuizing naar Gemeente Leiden (@GemeenteLeiden en hun IT weten het al)

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/25

Het formulier https://www.e-inwoner.nl/prod/fr/Leiden/Verhuizing_doorgeven/new.digid is een klein beetje stuk, maar gelukkig is er een workaround.

Eerst het probleem

Alle knoppen “Volgende” verversen alleen de linkerkant van het formulier, maar niet de invoervelden.

Dit zie je al bij de eerste stap als je bij “Inleiding” gelikt hebt op “Volgende”: links kom je op “Contactgegevens”, maar de invoervelden laten dat niet zien.

Workaround

python – How do I install pip on macOS or OS X? – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/25

On Mac OS X with stock Python:

All you need to do is

sudo easy_install pip

After this, you might want to upgrade pip:

sudo pip install --upgrade pip

Source: [WayBackpython – How do I install pip on macOS or OS X? – Stack Overflow

You could go the homebrew way, but that means your system will have two Python installations usually causing a nightmare of path dependency orders. In addition, homebrew puts you on the wrong foot, so:

DO NOT DO THIS!

# brew install pip
Error: No available formula with the name "pip" 
Homebrew provides pip via: `brew install python`. However you will then
have two Pythons installed on your Mac, so alternatively you can install
pip via the instructions at:
  https://pip.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installing/

kugelfish: Google+ Migration – Part II: Understanding the Takeout Archive

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/24

If you want to process the JSON form the Google Take Out, then below are some resources that will help you get started developing

Started developing you say?

Yes, of course the JSON does not match APIs any more, and of course Google has not provided and starting point or guidance.

A perfect execution of Sunset.

So you are on your own with:

All via [WayBack] Continuing the takeout data migration process with a first look at the data that is in the archive. – Edward Morbius – Google+

In the mean time, some people started hosting their HTML take out, for instance:

Here you have to note that the take out does not include media, and many hyperlinks still point to within Google Plus itself, for instance for circles and avatars.

User Experience topics like “Why does Explorer use the term KB instead of KiB”

Designing for a good user experience is hard, especially to programmers. So if you are a programmer, please read, let them sink in, rinse, repeat the below linked articles multiple times. Being ~15 years old, they are still so very relevant:

macos – Upgrade all the casks installed via Homebrew Cask – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/23

I missed that this was merged to master a few months ago: [WayBack] macos – Upgrade all the casks installed via Homebrew Cask – Stack Overflow:

December 2017 Update

I thought it would never happen, but there is now finally an official upgrade mechanism for Homebrew Cask (see [WayBack] Issue 3396 for the implementation)! To use it, simply run this command:

brew cask upgrade

However this will not update casks that do not have versioning information (version :latest) or applications that have a built-in upgrade mechanism (auto_updates true). To reinstall these casks (and consequently upgrade them if upgrades are available), run the upgrade command with the --greedy flag like this:

brew cask upgrade --greedy

It means you do not need manual scripts any more. So you can do without this workaround: [WayBack] GitHub – buo/homebrew-cask-upgrade: A command line tool for upgrading every outdated app installed by Homebrew Cask.

PC to TV HDMI image too large for screen – [Solved] – Graphics Cards

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/23

Someone Somewhere said:

It’s a setting in the TV. Look for terms like ‘overscan’ , ‘pixel perfect’, ‘1:1’, or similar. Usually under the HDMI settings for that input.

In my case (my mother’s Samsung), the original setting was 16:9 which failed. What works is screen fit. Go figure.

Filezilla – keeping the filestamps on transferred files.

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/23

Boy, I wish “Preserve timestamps of transferred files” was in the settings in addition to the menu as I was searching for it there to ensure download timestamps were of the original files:
