I forgot both to archive this 10+ year old G+ post and schedule a blog post about it This is nice #geekporn. ASCII Art that’s truly useful.….
ASCII to bezier drawn images in a very clever way.
Found it back when searching for prior blog posts on ASCII art, because of my yesterday’s blog-post ASCII Art Archive, so here it finally is: the links about how to go from ASCII art to bezier images. Have fun!

Some notes as it might enable me to install software that homebrew has deprecated or removed (note that local changes by default are ignored as the brew API takces precedence):
…
brew tap <user>/<repo>makes a clone of the repository athttps://github.com/<user>/homebrew-<repo>into$(brew --repository)/Library/Taps. After that,brewwill be able to work with those formulae as if they were in Homebrew’s homebrew/core canonical repository.…
Despite the homebrew repository being a high commit-volume one which makes following it from a clone hard, just did already clone it Read the rest of this entry »

Fork of a repository that shows how to do this with normal Homebrew installs [Wayback/Archive] Install an old version with homebrew for macOS · GitHub has my notes to do a similar thing with Homebrew cask installs.
Fork of: [Wayback/Archive] Install an old version with homebrew for macOS · GitHub.
TODO: check notes to ensure they really work on a different system and were not a lucky shot.

A while ago [Wayback/Archive] b0rk (Julia Evans [Wayback/Archive) wrote an interesting Tweet on finding back where you broke code of which the OCR text reads like this:
strategy: change working code into broken code
If I have a working version of the program, I like to:
- go back to the working code
- slowly start changing it to be more like my broken code
- test if it’s still working after every single tiny change
· ⬊⸳⬈˙⬊⸳⬈˙⬊⸳ OH THAT’S WHAT BROKE IT!!!I like this because it puts me back on solid ground: with every change make that DOESN’T cause the bug to come back, I know that wasn’t the problem.

This is similar (her arrows were of varying length) to using a binary search algorithm hunting for where the code was broken using bisection: repeatedly halving your search space to quickly zoom into the problem.
Another important aspect is that small commits while fiddling to solve an issue can help you determine what small commit was actually solving the issue.

After publishing Free Linux cloud shell for Gmail users – shell in the browser that works in all locations I’ve been so far, the Google Cloud Shell got extended quite a bit.
There is now [Wayback/Archive] Safe Mode (which skips initialisation scripts):
If there’s a problem in your
.bashrcor.tmux.conffiles, Cloud Shell immediately close after connection. To resolve this, open Cloud Shell in safe mode by appendingcloudshellsafemode=trueto the URL. This restarts your Cloud Shell instance and logs you in as root, allowing you to fix any issues in the files.To permanently delete all files in your home directory and restore your Cloud Shell home directory to a clean state, you can reset your Cloud Shell VM.
And there is support for way more [Wayback/Archive] tools and languages:

Just in case I need to do performance troubleshooting in Rails some day: [Archive.is] hey on Twitter: “@shelbyspees @honeycombio From a browser. Thinking is we had trouble even narrowing it down to a section of the site. Thinking if we could see that most of the load was in some_controller we could maybe dig in there. I don’t want to take up too much of your time, but how would a double request show up?” / Twitter
