Do you hate brushmarks on your paint projects? Today I’m sharing a brush-and-roll paint technique that helps eliminate ugly brush strokes. I’ve been seeing a lot of professional painters using this method. Even one of Nick’s trades “Tommy the Painter” offers this brush-and-roll paint technique when working on high-end doors and cabinets.

• Paper cups and plates for painting
• angle off sides to prevent runs over edges
• Brush on and smooth roller

A deep investigation into regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) vulnerabilities in JavaScript

Backtracking
It might not seem obvious, but most problems with regular expressions stem from failing to match part of the string they are being evaluated against. Matching is easy, but not matching can cause a process called backtracking where the regular expression engine will go back over choices that it made and try alternatives.

Lost in spaces
Let's have a look at an example. In the Stack Overflow outage, the offending regular expression was /^[\s\u200c]+|[\s\u200c]+$/. Let's break down what each part means:

Since you are in RI I have a few places you should check out and compare prices:

Builders Surplus in warwick - there are a few other locations but I have found this location to have the best variety of doors and windows. They pretty much get the oversupply from Home Depot so they can have some good finds.

Home Outlet - there is a location in both east providence and warwick. Most of their stock is available to browse on the website and you can even see if they are clearancing out anything.

The Restore in Charlestown - if your ok with second hand, you can find some great deals here. They will sometimes post what they have on Facebook or Craigslist, but you're usually better off making the drive.

Remodelers Outlet in Fall River - if you're willing to make the drive, this is a great place for doors. They have tons of stock along with returned/uncollected special orders and if they have nothing in your size they can also customize a door for you. We bought a door from them a couple months ago as we had a weirdly sized closet opening and they happened to have a returned door that nearly fit, just had to cut down the height, and it only cost us around $70 if I remember right; over a $100 less than if we had it special ordered from Lowes or HD.

What I want to do is console.log variables when I create shortcodes. Template fills up the console too much, so it's hard to debug. Wondering whether it's possible to debug with VS code built in debugger. If yes, what's the configuration...

Until I came to read Schwern’s little gem, hinting to turn AutoCommit off. That hit the nail so good that one single hit sufficed.

Text::CSV_XS is extremely fast, using that to handle the CSV should take care of that side of the performance problem.

There should be no need for special bulk insert code to make DBD::SQLite performant. An insert statement with bind parameters is very fast. The main trick is to turn off AutoCommit in DBI and do all the inserts in a single transaction.

Minimalist maps by Peter Gorman.

A few years ago, I took a one-year, solo bicycle trip around the U.S. and Canada. I rode over 11,000 miles in one big loop.

After the trip, I designed some graphic maps inspired by the places I visited, and opened an online shop called Barely Maps.

A list of different options for compiling CSS with Eleventy

David Darnes came at me with a classic RTFM. Turns out Eleventy has a page on the docs for doing exactly this. This method uses Sass and requires a little bit of config. One thing to note is by default this will output all .scss file to the built site, so I added a check to see if the file is named app and if it's not, then skip it. Alternatively you can put your files in an _includes directory and these won't be output (thanks Dave). style: 'compressed' will minimise the CSS.

Stephanie Eckles has an Eleventy plugin for using LightningCSS which handles all the configuration and as a bonus ignores any files that start with _ so they won't get copied to the build folder.
