Today I started out with a goal to port over my oldest blog from google’s blogger/blogspot and have it show up on github pages via Jekyll magic.

My goal was to figure out how I can use StackEdit as an editor for blogs that are built by Jekyll and hosted on Github Pages.

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/6-markdown-editors-play-nice-google-drive/ Stackedit Writebox MobileFolio ChromeOS Markdown Preview Plus Mac & iOS Falcon - paid app Evernote like layout. Edit in Markdown and view in HTML! Super cool. Have not tried it but the features sound absolutely awesome. http://falcon.star-lord.me/ iaWriter? Typora

Install Prometheus, grafana and exporters.

GitHub is an invaluable resource. Let’s take the example of trying to figure out “the unknown” when a framework such as LoobackJS is involved: There are plenty of public projects that use loopback. When in doubt, you can use code search to find syntax and other clues on how to perform certain tasks. There are many ways to narrow down search results, the keywords from an API search also apply to what you type in the searchbox on github: https://developer.github.com/v3/search/#considerations-for-code-search But keep in mind: Forked projects will not be searched by GitHub unless they have more STARS than their parent. Need a code example for how to use findById in angular or client side? Search GitHub with keywords and search qualifiers:: findbyid language:javascript path:/client Need to narrow down results further by a GitHub username of organization name? findbyid user:strongloop language:javascript path:/client It can even help you figure out how to configure a 3rd party dependency in LoopBack For example, I wanted to use express-xml-bodyparser and started wondering if someone else had used it as a middleware in loopback before. parse was a phase in the middleware.json file where one might configure such a dependency. params was a standard way of providing input to the dependency being configured. I put all these keywords together with the fact that the configuration would happen in a JSON file and came up with a code search that helped me find the example code I wanted: express-xml-bodyparser parse params language:json Sometimes there are just too many search results when looking for loopback code on the angular/client side. This may happen because loopback’s auto-generatedlb-services.js file, tends to contain many keywords. But you don’t want it to be searched! Well, you can exclude it. Look at the difference in the # of search results for the following code queries on github: loopback findbyid language:javascript path:/client NOT lbServices (close to 80) loopback findbyid language:javascript path:/client (over 780) Looking to limit your code search to Angular or client side? Append the following qualifiers as part of your search: path:/client path:/client/app path:/client/js Looking to limit your code search to Models or Remote Methods? Append the following qualifiers as part of your search: path:/common path:/common/models path:/common/models language:json path:/common/models language:javascript Here’s a bucket list of various other loopback keyword searches I’ve run to help myself: Wanted to figure out how to setup paging in loopback server side scripts skip limit path:/server/boot Wanted to figure out how to use role resolver and loopback context together registerResolver getCurrentContext Wanted to figure out how to get at all the little extra metadata info that is hidden away in a Model definition type language:javascript path:/common/models findbyid user:strongloop language:javascript path:/client app principal path:/common/models language:json findone language:javascript path:/client user:strongloop findone include filter path:/client properties id type user:strongloop language:javascript datasource type language:javascript path:/common/models properties id type language:javascript path:/common/models include relation language:javascript path:/client/app create language:javascript path:/client/js user:strongloop findById path:/client/js user:strongloop
