How to add a directory to your PATH

from Julia Evans [alt+shift+b] in programming

4 months ago
I was talking to a friend about how to add a directory to your PATH today. It’s something that feels “obvious” to me since I’ve been using the terminal for a long time, but when I searched for instructions for how to do it, I actually couldn’t find something that explained all of...

Avoiding timestamp errors when calculating dates in php

from A Beautiful Site [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
When calculating dates in PHP, it is easy to add millisecond values such as 60 * 60 * 24 to increment the time by one day. This can become problematic for two main reasons. Issues with leap years # A year has approximately 365.25 days, hence a leap year occurs once every four...

"No Code" vs RPA

Consider Security First

from The Changelog [alt+shift+b] in programming

I write this in the context of my decision to ditch Raspberry Pi OS and move everything I possibly can, including my Raspberry Pi devices, to Debian. I will write about that later. But for now, I wanted to comment on something I think is often overlooked and misunderstood by...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
