Just learned about rsync

I just learned about the rsync command which is amazingly useful. I have been using scp to copy folders from one machine at home to a machine in the lab back and forth and so far it's been good, and dead simple, but always involved extra work like making moving directories around. Now that I learned rsync, I can simply back up my work from the lab to my machine and vice versa using a simple command. Here is the command I use: rsync --delete -ravuzn -delete-excluded --exclude=*~ --rsh=ssh ~/work/ david@server.at.work.com:~/work/ and then, (notice I remove the n flag) rsync --delete -ravuz -delete-excluded --exclude=*~ --rsh=ssh ~/work/ david@server.at.work.com:~/work/ so what does this command do: flags: --delete: if I have removed files from my local computer, they are also deleted on the server r: recursively go through the folders and subfolders a: archive v: verbose mode u: update z: compress files --delete-excluded: deletes excluded files passed as parameter (next flag) --exclu...

css position: sticky

This links highlights what's new in Chrome 56: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/01/nic56?utm_source=frontendfocus&utm_medium=email One cool thing amongst others (bluetooth access is also cool but this one css feature is something I wish we had a while back) is position:sticky .

Have to be conscious that this positioning might not be available in other browsers as of yet. There's this site I use to check what's available: http://caniuse.com/#search=sticky As of now, it's not available in IE (not very surprising...)

Moving private repos to bitbucket

As much as like github for repos - I didn't feel it was *yet* worth to pay the monthly fee to get unlimited private repos. So I decided to move all my private repos to bitbucket, which is free! If you ever need to do the same, here's a link that explains it really well: http://befused.com/git/github-bitbucket-move
