On job interviews; both on interviewing and being interviewed
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/03/07
Two interesting blog entries to read for both sides of the interview:
- [WayBack] Hello, I am interviewing people… – The Isoblog.
- [WayBack] Programmers are confessing their coding sins to protest a broken job interview process | The Outline“Whiteboard” interviews are widely hated. They also discriminate against people who are already underrepresented in the field.

raw.githack.com – like rawgit.com but supports bitbucket as well and runs on plain nginx
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/03/07
Found out recently that next to rawgit.com there is also raw.githack.com which contrary to the name also supports bitbucket files:
- [WayBack] raw.githack.com serves raw files directly from GitHub or Bitbucket with proper Content-Type headers (with Media-Type values).
- [WayBack] github.com/neoascetic/rawgithack
- plain nginx
- [WayBack] RawGit served raw files directly from GitHub with proper Content-Type headers.
- [WayBack] github.com/rgrove/rawgit
- requires node.js and express.js

bash – how do I list the functions defined in my shell? – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/03/07
Nice: “you can get both aliases and functions with compgen -a -A function”
It uses the compgen completion generator. Simply brilliant (:

Generate Mozilla Security Recommended Web Server Configuration Files
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/03/06
In case you manually want to configure or have a web-server that’s not supported by certbot for letsencrypt (yet): Generate Mozilla Security Recommended Web Server Configuration Files.
At the time of writing, these were supported by the generator (* were not supported by certbot for letsencrypt yet):

Getting the IP addresses of gmail MX servers – via Super User – dig isn’t enough
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/03/06
I needed the current IP-addresses of the gmail MX server (don’t ask the details; but it has to do with the brain-dead TP-LINK ER5120 configuration possibilities).
This is the command I finally used:
dig @8.8.8.8 +short MX gmail.com | sed "s/^[0-9]* //g" | sed "s/.$//" | xargs -I {} dig @8.8.8.8 +short {} | uniq | sort
Basically it’s a three stage sequence which had to work on OS X as well as Linux using a bash shell:
- Use the Google DNS servers (either 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4)
- Get the FQDNs of MX records of gmail.com which are the mail servers for GMail.
- Translate these in IPv4 addresses
- Filter into a distinct list (just in case entries are duplicate: they aren’t yet, but might be)
The basics of the above are about using dig to get short (or terse) answers with as little (but still to the point) information as possible.
