@mandarvaze’s microblog - microblog

Started with (optional) assignment at the end of “Programming Concept” chapter : Convert temperature between Celsius and Fahreinheit. 1 Since the algorithm itself is not part of the learning the language, I asked Google Bard about the formula.

Today I finished Functions and Control Flow etc.

Today I started with Data Types While most of it is intuitive, it is useful to go over the documentation. e.g.

Today I finished the Number guessing game During the early part of the code, my mind started thinking “How will comparing string input from the user, work with a number?

In this new year, I have decided to learn rust All my recent experience has been in dynamic languages (90% python, 10% ruby) But I started my software development career in C, and did that for probably 10 years.

After using vim keybindings inside Obsidian, I came across obsidian.nvim plugin that makes working with Obsidian from inside Neovim pleasurable.

Today I discovered that Obsidian supports vim style keybindings out of the box.

Obsidian is not new to me.

Today we purchased a new car!

It started with a post on Emacs Stories Telegram group.

Last night when I wanted to check this site, but I started getting security error related to certificate.

I think I came across this tool via Hacker News 🤔.

Few hours ago, I uninstalled Instagram from my phone.1 Ironically, earlier today I watched a reel on Instagram saying “Instagram is like Chakravyuh, and we are like Abhimanyu.

As mentioned earlier I tried new starter kit called Emacs Bedrock.

Recently when reading about emacs Bedrock I learnt that emacs 29+ has command line option that lets the user pass custom init directory via emacs --init-directory=MYDIR option. 1 This makes it easy to try out different starter kits without touching your s…

I’ve been using vi for 20+ years and somehow I didn’t know that it has spell check built in 🤷‍♂ Enable it by simply :set spell Now misspelled words are shown in red background 1 (depending on the terminal’s capability this might vary - I assume) Off cours…

My thoughts in the context of this thread.

Why do we “listen” to somebody ?

I had written earlier how learning the language before the framework is more important.

I was aware of macports for quite some time (since I moved to macOS about 8 years ago) But most of the tools seem to be suggesting brew install, so I didn’t give macports a second thought. 8 years later, my MBP is old, and soon will not be supported by Ap…

After build problems with my PKM site, today I ran into another problem with this site.

In a multi-tenant rails application, usually we extract the tenant, before we process it further.

As mentioned here and later here I recently moved PKM from Dendron to obsidian-zola The original code seems abadoned (No updates in little over a year).

First impression people have is that Emacs is an editor.

As mentioned in the earlier post, at work I was “strongly encouraged” to use Azure Service Bus, instead of RabbitMQ Unfortunately SDK has FormatDeadLetterPath functionality but it is not available to HTTP REST API 1 Append /$DeadLetterQueue to the queue n…

Finally migrated my PKM from Dendron to Obsidian-Zola Things I needed to do were : Remove Dendron specific frontmatter [In Progress] Restructure flat file names that were like Dev.DB.mysql.md to Development/Databases/mysql.md Pushed this branch as main Ma…

My PKM is currently based on Dendron Main appeal of Dendron was local-first.

Now that I’m working on .NET and C#, I enabled csharp-mode in Doom Emacs.

I recently started writing C# code at work.

At work, I’ve been using REST API to connect to Azure Service Bus because officially Microsoft does not support Ruby SDK (It is retired since 2015) The documentation related to accessing Azure Service Bus via REST API is very limited, and at time difficult

I’ve been using nano emacs theme with minemacs I got bored today, and wanted to try something new.

Several years ago, I came across a quote1 about how learning python via Django.

Ameba seems like quite mature linter for Crystal language.

As I had mentioned earlier, at work I was “strongly encouraged” to use Azure Service Bus, instead of RabbitMQ (which was the technology I had suggested.)

ह्याच्या आधी मी एक micropost देवनागरीत लिहिली होती, नेहेमीप्रमाणे मी ती हेलिक्स मधे लिहीली पण त्यात थोड्या चुका झाल्या होत्या.

Today I wrote (OK, copy/pasted sample code and modified) python after more than a year.

Continuing from previous post ..

Yesterday, I started using org-mode for tracking my TODO items.

मला व.पु.

My mastodon account is now verified with green tick 😄 I already had a link to my Mastodon account in the footer of this blog for quite some.

TIL that this is an E/N style blog I didn’t know that it was 😄 E/N stands for Everything and Nothing The content of this site means everything to the publisher (me) But it may mean nothing to some of the users (at some of the times) Quoting from the origin

I’ve been using org-roam for some time for my note taking.

I’ve been intrigued by Crystal Programming language for some time.

Bullshit Jobs are meaningless jobs.

Today I set my PKM project on the laptop, a little over a month after I upgraded the OS I just had to clone the repo.

Few of the quotes from this1 interview, Danny Meyers On why someone is motivated (From sports) Likes to beat others 2 - Muhammad Ali Hates to lose - John McEnroe Beat own record - Usain Bolt Every day is an opportunity to be better than you were yesterday…

As I wrote earlier, I was unable to use magit because of the third party issue.

I updated Minemacs few days ago, and it broke magit 😱 1 I had suspected that it is not problem with Minemacs But I can’t have magit broken, so on my work machine I switched (back) to Doom FWIW, the issue is already fixed on Doom 2 This time I noticed doom…

I came across this in the 1thing podcast 1 C-P-R stands for Communication, Planning and Resources Nick mentions that how we sort the laundry into separate drawers so that when we need, we can easiy find socks in their drawer, rather than looking for then…

I wrote about Arc browser earlier here.
