This website is a virtual proof that I'm awesome / Easy way to setup commits signing using SSH keys, if you’re interested (and somewhat good for security) 🙂. GitHub has supported SSH commit verification since 2022, so this has been a first-class option for years. Use the right SSH key below: git config --global gpg.format ssh git config --global user.signingkey...

The single most useful insight is that hyphens and underscores aren’t interchangeable: most tools (search engines, IDEs, editors with “match whole word”) treat - as a word separator and _ as a word joiner....

For instance, the default behaviour of most programming languages when used for fractional arithmetics lead to inaccurate results due to floating-point precision. Example Consider the following Python code snippet: result = 0.1 + 0.2 The result should be 0.3, right?...

From writing this blog, updating my resume in Markdown and using Pandoc to convert it into a PDF format, to the usual development stuff as well as taking notes, I rely on VSCode for almost everything – and I prefer...

Depending upon the organisation, it is possible that firewall rules prohibit outgoing connections to port 22 (default for SSH) for obvious security reasons. In such a scenario, the usual option...

Here’s my quick take on explaining the differences. Local port-forwarding Let’s say that you want...

Recently at work, I needed a docker-compose project to join an existing one’s network, mainly to access the existing project’s MySQL instance. If you’re looking for the same, look no further! Specify project name First, you would want to setup...
