Yes, there is my friend. https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm

I've learned it a month ago and couldn't be happier.

I love how new people keep discovering Ian's website (cf the xkcd 1053). It's a really well made website, the pictures and animations are very well chosen to explain knots and lacing.

Not OP: - One shotted script that I schedule through cron that sends me a message when a new one piece manga chapter releases. - Also a simple script that moves my cursor one pixel every 30 seconds. Cannot disclose why I need this.

Hehe. Definitely not to avoid the company micro time tracking their employees.

This used to happen to me. But there was a time I just had two different drives. With different OS in it and used the bios selector to boot what I wanted

I cry every time I see the movie Coco. I've found that things that have to do with grand parents makes me cry the most. I've losed my grandfather on covid's because they stopped treating him to focus on younger people.

Oh boy! This reminded me of one of my worst tech leads. He pushed secret tokens to github. When I asked in the team meeting why would we do this instead of using secrets manager, the response was: "These are private respos. Also we signed an NDA before joining the company"

I once read about devs that get bored with long projects and thrill at starting new things, and the other kind that doesn't want to take new projects until the one that she/he is working on is "finished". Maybe you are the first kind and that's why you are enjoying the unexpected situations you face giving technical support.

You can code locally, push to a repository, and have the changes almost instantly on your server ready to be run.

yes, i prefer to save those 10 seconds as I do that a thousand times a day

Just a little note on using Facebook for the calendar. That was also an excuse for me to not deleting Facebook, but I imported the calendar to Google. It's been a year and I don't miss any of it.

The only reason why I have a Google account is that Google bought YouTube. Establishing a Google calendar to get rid of Facebook doesn't seem like a win for me... Besides, how does that work? Much of the Facebook Calendar feature works for me by friends inviting me to events. So in a sense, I will still need to maintain an FB account.

Yup. I did this with a local Android app, that tells you the gps location of a public bus. I sniffed the http packets, found the requests i needed and made a python script that pinged me at slack when my bus was 5 minutes from my bus stop. Useful when I worked at night.

I'm familiar with the web dev tools, but no clue about mobile. Can you point me in the right direction on how to do the same?

Were you using an android emulator on desktop or there's some way to easily do this on android?

I use mitmproxy or charles proxy with an android emulator, with an older version of Android so it allows for a man-in-the middle, without being finicky about certificates.

Nice, that's the next step up.

Man-in-the-middle Android apps to discover (sometimes different API backend).

I did the same with a shipping line which turned out to use a SOAP backend.
