I find it frustrating in JIRA that I can not link to a specific comment in an issue. By triggering the old Jira view, you can link directly to a comment.

Git Diff Ignore Mode Changes
When the permissions on a file change in a commit, Git will include this in the diff. Git refers to this as a mode change. When I’m looking at a “git diff” (or specifically a “git diff –name-only” where I’m looking for a list of files that have been changed), I often want to ignore mode changes (a.k.a. permission changes). By adding “-G.” to the command, mode changes will be ignored.

Local by Flywheel Regenerating Machine Certificates
When I tried to run Local by Flywheel I received the notification, “Regenerating Machine Certificates:
Local detected invalid Docker Machine TLS certificates and is fixing them now.” over and over again making Local by Flywheel unusable.

Local by Flywheel – Import Failed – TypeError: Cannot read property devMode on null
Recently, I tried to import a site into Local by Flywheel and it failed with the message, “TypeError: Cannot read property ‘devMode’ on null”. It turns out the site export was created with “Local Lightning” while I’m using the classic Local by Flywheel. By modifying the local-site.json file in the import, I was still able to import the site.

phpcs display sniff name
By default phpcs does NOT display the relevant name of the sniff when a sniff fails. By adding the ‘-s’ argument, the sniff names will be displayed. See the following from ‘phpcs –help’. Alternatively, this can be added to your PHP CodeSniffer XML Ruleset.

git warning: path is unmerged
Sometimes after running git stash pop, I get a conflict warning and I want to discard any changes to a file. However, when I try to checkout the file I get an error message. Using reset and then checkout, lets me accomplish this goal.

Speed Up Video in Iframe
My wife has to watch some videos as part of an online course. These videos do not have speed controls, however she would like to watch the video at an increased rate (e.g. 1.5x the normal speed). The problem is the video appears in an iframe (which is in itself in an iframe) so targeting the video to change the speed with JavaScript is a little tricky. Here is how I did it.

Pompitus Bombasticus
I’m currently reading Neal Stephenson’s “Fall; or, Dodge in Hell” and it includes a description of a band called Pompitus Bombasticus.
This seemed like the perfect music to listen to when I’m programming. I was disappointed to find out Pompitus Bombasticus does not exist. However, if you too are in search of the mythical Pompitus Bombasticus, I suggest you check out the group Two Steps from Hell (which does actually exist).
