Wow, what kind reflections on a really powerful day at @MountAllison with @equiteNBequity and @MtA_RonJoyce. Collaboration and community building is how we find meaningful approaches to wicked problems! #CareNB #SoinsNB

'In Moncton, two days of reflection, but no discussion; in Sackville, a day of reflection filled with exchange among participants. One is inward looking, the other is outward looking. Which one would you have chosen?'

🐚 Brace expansion in shells like Bash and Zsh can be very useful to avoid repeating yourself. ✨
For example, if you want to do:
$ mv some_long_file_name.txt some_long_file_name.rs
You can write this instead:
$ mv some_long_file_name.{txt,rs}
Here's some ways to use braces:
ALT # {Bash,Zsh} brace expansion # Brace expansion: $ echo x{Hello,World}x = echo xHellox xWorldx # With an empty string: $ cp some_file{,.bak} = cp some_file some_file.bak # In a path: $ mv x/{before,after}/asdf/file = mv x/before/asdf/file x/after/asdf/file # Number range: $ rm d{01..20}/file = rm d01/file d02/file d03/file d04/file ... etc. # Multiple braces: $ touch {a,b,c}.{rs,cpp} = touch a.rs a.cpp b.rs b.cpp c.rs c.cpp # Nested braces: $ git add {main,x{1,2}}.rs = git add main.rs x1.rs x2.rs # Letter range: $ cat {a..f}.txt = cat a.txt b.txt c.txt d.txt e.txt f.txt

Why do we call them "open source developers" when we could call them "open sourcerers"???

We were the example here how to deal with the first wave. We blew it big time for the second, probably because of the prevention paradox. We now too have protests against masks 🤦♂️ saying it reduces PPL freedom. I call this BS, everyone’s freedom ends, where someone elses start 🙏

If you call me "sweetie" or "dear" I get to call you "sport" "buster" or "tiger". Sorry, I don't make the rules, that's just how it is😁

It's weird to see how much the React-based frameworks focus on CMS-like websites (many pages, 1-2 resources per page). That's not really where React shines
