In the WordPress database table “wp_term_taxonomy”, each row almost always has the same value for the two columns ‘term_taxonomy_id’ and ‘term_id’. What is the difference between these two columns?
In Mac OS X version 10.14 Mojave, when taking a screenshot a thumbnail is displayed for a few seconds before the file is created. Unfortunately I don’t want this delay. I take a lot of screenshots (using `Command` + `Shift` + `4`) and typically want to upload the image without making any changes, making this delay frustrating. This is how I removed the delay.
When working with Git on the command line, I spend a lot of time switching back and forth between two branches. Even with Git tab completion, it is a lot of typing. However Git has a shortcut for the previous branch, a single dash (-).
By default Vim is the editor used when writing a Git commit message. While I love Vim, it does work very differently than most other editors. A good option for those who are not comfortable with Vim, is to use a different editor. This is how to setup Git to use a different editor.
I do most of my work in Vim (or Neovim) in tmux inside of iTerm on my Mac. I found my color schemes were being properly applied in Neovim but not in Vim (version 8). Adding two lines to my .vimrc corrected the problem for me.
The interactive rebase feature of Git is one of my favorites. I love being able to squash multiple commits into one commit or re-order my commits for clarity. My one complaint is the Git interactive rebase commit order is wrong (at least for the way my brain works).
I recently updated my copy of OS X to Mojave and I’m now having trouble with SSH. (I jumped a few versions but based on other posts it looks like the change to MacOS Sierra specifically was part of the problem).
When using Git, sometimes (often) I find myself forgetting to delete local branches after merging them. This command deletes this branches (and I’ve included a Git alias to make it easy to use in the future).
I’ve been playing a lot of the Risk Boardgame with my two boys recently. The game involves rolling dice to determine the outcome of a battle. While it was always clear to me that the attacker has an advantage when attacking with three dice, I was curious about how great the advantage is so I wrote some JavaScript code to calculate the odds.
Recently, I needed to determine when a website visitor was idle for a certain amount of time. I thought this was an interesting problem and wanted to spend a little more time with JavaScript so I wrote some code for it.
