As a tab indentation enthusiast, I wanted to use an Angular project with tabs instead of 2 spaces. Unfortunately, there are several settings to change, and the schematics used by ng CLI command supports only spaces. Despite numerous requests (e.g. here and here), Google did not decide to introduce an option to set indentation for generated files. I went through the process of making Angular project tabbed and I’ll describe it here.
This post was inspired by a question on StackOverflow about loading (content) of an SVG file in Angular. In general, about retrieving the content of any file.
…Recently I had the doubtful pleasure of trying to fix a blue screen in my Windows laptop. I learned a lot, tried tens of scenarios, but nonetheless I failed to repair it. This post contains a list of the tools I used to recover the system and some hints on how to deal with various problems. I will try to answer the following questions:
What is MBR and GPT? How to rebuild BCD and fix MBR? How to clone a partition or disk to another disk or file? How to remove and create partitions? How to remove Windows Update leftovers?
…There are several things useful in a longer document:
I’ll show how to parse text, extract numbers and calculate averages on an example of performance data. I have performed a dozen of performance scenarios, each repeated four times to get an average. Every sample contained three values: time in seconds of execution of the first step, time in seconds of execution of the second step, and memory consumption in MB. For instance, 17.6 | 7.4 | 687 meant:
There are cases when you try to add a feature, but before it’s done, a new problem arises and you try to resolve it. At the end of the day you end up with several things solved, but no commits yet. Some people prefer big and messy commits that include all the work for the past week, but I tend to have one issue solved in one commit. What are your options to keep a clean repository in this situation?
…I’ve been using mind mapping tools for years for creating plans or elaborating ideas. So far, my favorite offline software was FreeMind. It hasn’t been updated for years, but it is open source and has impressive features, like formatting nodes, icons, good keyboard support, adding links, colorful clouds for branches, and much more. Just take a look at the screenshot in Wikipedia. Today I decided to look for some online alternative for easier access on any device (also mobile) and simplified sharing.
…Previously I described one method to add custom widgets areas by copying and modifying theme files:
Now I’d like to describe another possibility when it comes to adding widgets area above or below a post or page – by adding the_content filter.
Previously, I have created a maze generating code while learning Python. Later I enhanced it with animation and marking special cells. All of it was done in rush, to solve the problem. Now I spent some time improving the quality of the code by encapsulating code into classes, using “private” methods and fields and separating concerns. The exact steps I took can be viewed in the GitHub repository or read here.
…In the previous post, I generated a simple maze. I wasn’t sure the algorithm worked as intended unless I debugged or animated it. I chose the second option. I also added marking the beginning and end of the maze quest.
