Over the last month so, I’ve been working with Dr. Julian Jones to port some design system projects from Jekyll over to Eleventy, the feral possum of static site generators. Why undertake a whole replatforming initiative? Well, there were two primary issues we were trying to solve:

Supermaya is an Eleventy starter kit designed to help you add rich features to a blog or website without the need for a complicated build process.

Change your character's pose in Adobe Illustrator without redrawing the entire figure.

With the grouped objects selected, click the Puppet Warp tool. Some pins appear, indicating “joints” you can manipulate. Click and drag pins to transform the art, adding more pins as needed to sculpt your artwork. For example, we added a pin to anchor our character’s elbow joint and curved the arm up. To delete pins, select and press Delete.

Excalidraw is a whiteboard tool that lets you easily sketch diagrams that have a hand-drawn feel to them.

Use placeholders

There are different placeholders that can be used as listed below
%o — which takes an object,
%s — which takes a string, and
%d — which is for a decimal or integer

Below are 3 questions from Microsoft’s Online Assessment 2019 for developers

Give yourself a 30-day challenge. As you watch your recordings, look for areas where your body language, facial gestures, and tone can improve. Find spots in your responses where you can slow down or pause in order to drive a point home. The difference between the first take and your 20th will astound you.

Reset the NVRAM & PRAM

• Shut down your Mac.
• Turn it on and immediately press and hold these four keys together: Option, Command, P, and R.
• You can release the keys after about 20 seconds, during which your Mac might appear to restart.

Reset the SMC

• Shut down your Mac.
• Turn it on and immediately press and hold these four keys together: Shift, Control and Option, then press the power button at the same time.
• Hold these keys and the power button for 10 seconds and then release them. In case you have a MacBook Pro with Touch ID, the Touch ID button is also the power button.
• Restart your MacBook pressing the power button.

Clean the system cache

• Remove files from ~/Library/Caches folder

How to do each workout: See the exercises and circuits below. Repeat each exercise for 30 seconds, followed by a 15-second rest between moves, for a 5-minute circuit. You can add one circuit to the end of your run as a finisher or use it as a part of your cross-training workouts.

• X-Mountain Climber
• Squat Thrust
• Plank March
• Windshield Wiper
• Crab Kick

The underlying concept of design patterns has been around in the software engineering industry since the very beginning, but they weren’t really so formalised. Design Patterns: Elements Of Reusable Object-Oriented Software written by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides — the famous Gang of Four (GoF)—was instrumental in pushing the formalised concept of design patterns in software engineering. Now, design patterns are an essential part of software development and have been so for a long time.

The biggest limiting factor to handstands is a lack of body awareness upside down. People kick up but then they freak out because they have no idea which way is up and which way is down.

Thus, gaining body awareness is the first step in being comfortable upside down.

Below are five progressive exercises to focus on to build that body awareness.

Ever wondered how to lay out an outside skirt board when building stairs? This was one of those processes that was a trade secret when I started. I’ve had a few variations on this over the years, but this is my favorite way to go! This method is the Britches Method.

Step 1: Buy a smaller chicken.

A bench hook minimizes the need for vises or clamps, allows you to make quick cuts and the more sophisticated hooks make quick miters easy. We modified our simple bench so that hooks stop fence is shorter than the platform to help prevent tear-out on your work piece.

My favorite way to establish a guideline is to use a 2-ft.-long piece that’s coped accurately and a 2-ft.-long square-cut piece. Fitted in the corner, the coped piece locates the square piece at the correct projections, and you can mark the top and/or bottom. The longer pieces take into account more of the wall and ceiling conditions than small gauge blocks.
