I’m working on a few projects using Quasar and Typescript. I got tired of writing my own type guards, and found ts-type-checked which ends up working great. They have an example for webpack, but quasar does some tricks behind the scenes that required a different configuration.
I’ve been working in Typescript lately using Yup for validating my objects.
I’ve always been annoyed at not being able to create an empty file in the Finder. After way too long, I’ve finally done something about this. You can, too.
I started using *nix and programming in the early nineties. There were no helpers around, so I manually learned to do everything by hand. Same with HTML, or anything else on the Internet1.
If it was available in the nineties, I probably worked with it. (e.g. sendmail, bind, httpd, cgi-lib.pl, miniSQL before Monty started work on MySQL, building a complicated website on an IRIX server in Brazil using the country’s shared 56K connection) ↩
A lot of things have happened over the last few years, so I figured I’d go ahead and document them.
I moved to Morgantown, WV in the fall of 2010. With two partners, I started Agile Monks, a software development company. We shipped a couple minor OS X utilities, three iOS apps, and did some consulting work. We finally shut it down in 2016, though it was actually dead well before that.
I’d been using Swinject for a while, but was never satisfied. All I need for DI is the ability to inject into ViewControllers, including subclasses. After way too much time trying to add subclass support, it was much simpler to just write my own implementation.
I was working with sending REST calls to Docker via /var/run/docker.sock and needed to print out the text of the request to send via the file descriptor. This code converts a URLRequest into a CFHTTPMessage and then convert that to a string.
