AWS CodeWhisperer and GitHub Copilot don't get along in VSCode. Rejecting code suggestions sometimes triggers the pop-up (repeatedly) "command aws.codeWhisperer.rejectCodeSuggestion not found." This is especially annoying when using Vim since it breaks the Escape key which is interpreted by VSCode as rejecting code suggestions. Go to Command Palette (Command+Shift+P) Search for: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON) Add: { "key": "escape", "command": "-aws.codeWhisperer.rejectCodeSuggestion", "when": "aws.codewhisperer.connected && inlineSuggestionVisible && !editorReadonly || isCloud9 && suggestWidgetVisible && !editorReadonly" } Restart VS code

The Watercop Classic is an excellent product especially when combined with the SmartConnect wifi module that can shut off your water main from anywhere on the globe without paying a monthly fee. But beware! Only older models are sold on Amazon. The old Watercop Classics put the motor and switch in one box. The new design separates the more sensitive switch electronics from the motor that opens and closes the valve. I have owned both designs and can attest that I will never again place electronics anywhere near a water pipe, not to mention the corrosion from rain and humidity. The Watercop is more expensive to purchase and is more difficult to install but unless you want a brick or you enjoy paying for Flo each month (and it's also vulnerable to water and weather damage), it's the financially smart choice. I bought the 75 foot cable so the switch could be located indoors. The hard part of course was running the cable under the house.

As this diagram shows, a password consisting of three four-letter words smashed together with camelCase is more secure than 8-character passwords that are impossible to remember. Length is what matters.

Unit tests and staging environments are nice and all but how do you know whether your latest release works? SaaS vendors must test in production. Consider your users to be testers, or, better: create test users and run nonstop tests in production deliberately. As this  article  says: “ Certain services need to know that an account isn't real, so we don't count or bill users like production accounts or match them with a production user. With these cases handled, all other services essentially treat all accounts, production or test, exactly the same. ”

Lentils with Indian flavors Most of the liquid will be absorbed by the lentils so this dish will be more of a cassole than a soup. This recipe yields 10-12 large bowls.

Tired of turning your router on and off when it inevitably becomes slow? Install NodeJS on a Raspberry Pi (etc..) and run this script via cron. https://github.com/terrisgit/ATT-Uverse-Router-Reconnect/

This stored procedure accepts two arguments: a table name and a row count. It inserts the specified number of rows into the specified table. Of course, all columns in the table must either have default values or allow NULL. DROP PROCEDURE InsertDimension; DELIMITER $$ CREATE PROCEDURE InsertDimension(IN TableName VARCHAR(50), IN NumRows INT) BEGIN DECLARE i INT; SET i = 1; SET @sql_text = concat('INSERT INTO ', TableName, ' VALUES ()' ); PREPARE stmt FROM @sql_text; START TRANSACTION; WHILE i <= NumRows DO EXECUTE stmt; SET i = i + 1; END WHILE; COMMIT; DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt; END$$ DELIMITER ;

If you're curious about Apache Camel's metrics reporting via Dropwizard , this guide will help you get Graphite running in a Docker container. Then you will run an instrumented Camel application and view its metrics via Graphite's browser UI. (1) Install Docker There are many ways to do this depending on your platform. Google it. (2) Install and run the Docker container for Statsd and Graphite Refer to  https://github.com/hopsoft/docker-graphite-statsd The instructions infer that you can run the container without specifying port mappings. This is plain wrong. So use the following command to start the container: docker run -d --name graphite --restart=always -p 80:80 -p 8125:8125/udp hopsoft/graphite-statsd It is not necessary to enable Graphite's UDP listener. Statsd receives metrics via UDP and forwards them to Graphite over TCP. (3) On Windows and OSX, determine the IP address of the graphite Docker container On Linux, you can use localhost. On Win...

Load testing involves multiple threads or processes performing operations against a resource. For example, execute a query against a database server via 50 concurrent threads. The tricky part is waiting for the threads to start up before the commands are actually executed, in order to make sure that the resource is truly getting hammered. Here's an example of how to accomplish this in Java. It is possible to refactor the following code into a utility accepts two parameters: the number of threads and a lambda expression which can be passed as a Runnable object. final int numThreads = 50; ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(numThreads); CountDownLatch ready = new CountDownLatch(numThreads); CountDownLatch start = new CountDownLatch(1); CountDownLatch done = new CountDownLatch(numThreads); for (int j = 0 ; j < numThreads ; j++) {    executor.execute(() -> { ready.countDown(); try {    start.await(); /...

Amount of free RAM:  free -t | grep "cache:" | awk '{ print $4}' Top 5 processes consuming most CPU in their lifetimes: ps aux | sort -rk 3,3 | head -n 5 The output is not the same as 'top'. The 'top' command outputs instantaneous CPU usage.

Yes. A mid-2011 MacBook Pro running OSX El Capitan can drive a 2560x1080 monitor via HDMI. I was not able to get 60 Hz working. I am settling with 53 Hz. I tried many settings before finding something that works. The refresh rate seems fine to me. Maybe the text could be clearer but for a $200 monitor running this resolution, I'll take it. Apple MacBook 2015 retina resolution is 2560 x 1800. Consider buying a better monitor that may literally give you fewer headaches. Install  SwitchResX Follow the instructions for disabling SIP After rebooting, run SwitchResX via System Preferences Select your LG monitor Click Custom Resolutions Click the + icon  Enter these settings  ( source ) Exit SwitchResX and save Reboot Run SwitchResX via System Preferences Select your LG monitor Click Current Resolutions Select the 2560x1080, 53 Hz setting Enable SIP If you discover better settings, please leave a comment.
