CVS 1.11.23 Fix
No one uses cvs any more... except me it seems. It does what I want with little or no fuss and I just don't see the point of fixing something that isn't broke...

Except that it doesn't compile for me any more. I often want to compile it because if I install it with apt-get then I get all the server nonsense installed and I just want to access it remotely using ssh. For that I just need a working binary of cvs on my path...

When you try and compile cvs you will get the error:

In file included from getline.c:25:0:
getline.h:15:3: error: conflicting types for ‘getline’
getline __PROTO ((char *_lineptr, size_t _n, FILE *_stream));

This is because the bundled version of getline is incompatible with the newer library versions of getline. The fix is to make the cvs rename getline to get_line in its source files so it uses its private version rather than the system version. This is a one line sed command run from the cvs-1.11.23 directory that will do that for you:

sed -i 's/getline /get_line /' lib/getline.{c,h}

You can then run configure, and make as normal.

As an aside, I recently had to do this on a Mac and the syntax for the sed command is slightly different:

sed -I -e 's/getline /get_line /' lib/getline.{c,h}

Introducing Hackd

Hackd is based on Hack v3.003, used for most base symbols and upper/lowercase latin glyphs. I then merged in glyphs from FiraCode v6.002 for all ligatures and pretty much all other characters.
Further, I pulled the % glyph from Firacode and tweaked it slightly to look more “Hack”ish.

How I Did It

I used FontForge for all manipulations.

I started with FiraCode-Regular and FiraCode-Bold.

Replaced all the glyphs from ! through ascii 255 with the Hack glyphs.

Then pulled all the powerline glyphs from the Hack NerdFont ttf file.

A look at text wrap balancing in CSS

Have you ever wished there is a native way in CSS to make two lines headlines consistent in the number of words per line? As a designer, I spot that a lot when dealing with varying content lengths while designing a website or a UI.

A simple guide to building keyboard-activated layout grid overlays with JavaScript and CSS for web development projects.

Here’s my starting point for custom focus outlines:

*:focus-visible {
outline-color: currentColor;
outline-style: solid;
outline-offset: .25rem;
outline-width: .25rem;
}

MailerLite's pricing is straightforward, fair and affordable for all businesses. Compare the plans and choose the one that fits your needs the best!

As a lisp, Clojure of course qualifies as one such mind-altering substance. (It arguably qualifies again on the basis of its focus on immutability.) But Blazeski’s article points out that array-based languages such as J, its predecessor APL ("A Programming Language"), and the proprietary q are equally mind-expanding. Let’s see what was – and remains – so compelling about the array programming approach to problems, and compare it to Clojure’s approach.

One operator to do both is pretty handy. We can of course replicate each with out-of-the-box Clojure:

(map (partial + 2) [2 3 4]) ; => (4 5 6)
(map + [2 3 4] [1 2 3])     ; => (3 5 7)

If you’re not in the market for fancy letters, you can also browse the Plantin-Moretus woodcut archive through the categories of plants, animals, and sciences. Some of these illustrations are technical, and others more fanciful; in certain cases, the centuries have probably rendered them less realistic-looking than once they were.

You can't always trust your eyes when drawing values. I'll show you techniques to see accurate value relationships when shading light and shadow.

Lighting conditions affect how we see color.

When drawing we have to override our brain's instinct to label things. The white portion of the eye shouldn't be white! The eye is a ball that reflects light according to the plane each portion is facing.

Avoid tunnel vision! Local highlights might actually be shadows
