Open Google Meet links in Google Meet Chrome app on macOS by default

I you prefer to have Google Meet links automatically open in the official Google Meet Chrome app on Mac with its own Dock icon instead of in a browser tab, this is the way to go:

Step 1: Setup Chrome App

Install the official Google Meet Chrome web app by:

Navigating to meet.google.com
Then either clicking on the install icon (computer screen with downward arrow) in Chrome's address bar or on "⋮" ▸ "Save and share" ▸ "Install page as app"

Step 2: Create AppleScript Proxy App

Cowboy, the popular Erlang web server, has deprecated middleware and replaced the concept with stream handlers, a more flexible, but more complicated API. This page contains a documented reference implementation of a stream handler, to help others when developing their stream handlers in the future.

How to use this gist

You've got two main options:

Rewriting Git history on feature branches

Assumes:

feature branch is feature/add_csv_file
mainline is deploy

If you want to rewrite Git history on your feature branch here is how to do it.

Make sure you are on the branch you want to rewrite the history of:

Building Erlang/OTP 24.0 on macOS 10.15.7 with Homebrew

Outstanding issues (workaround given here)

Building OTP 24.0 requires autoconf 2.69, and a tweak to disable kerl _flags()
Homebrew stock wxmac does not support macOS Dark Mode

Adding tailscale to an EdgeRouter (and surviving system upgrades)

I suggest you run sudo bash on all of these so you're the root user.

Installing

Download tailscale and put the files in /config/. Find the latest stable or unstable version for your EdgeRouter's processor (ex. ER4 is mips and ERX is mipself)

sudo bash    # if you havent already

ANSI Escape Sequences

Standard escape codes are prefixed with Escape:

Ctrl-Key: ^[
Octal: \033
Unicode: \u001b
Hexadecimal: \x1B
Decimal: 27

(NB: adapted from this Ask Ubuntu thread -- tested to work on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS through Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy).

Unlike using VMWare Tools to enable Linux guest capabilities, the open-vm-tools package doesn't auto-mount shared VMWare folders. This can be frustrating in various ways, but there's an easy fix.

TL;DR

Install open-vm-tools and run:

sudo mount -t fuse.vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs -o allow_other

	#!/usr/bin/env -S rust-script -t nightly
	#![feature(unix_sigpipe)]

	use std::cmp::max;

	const BASIC_COLORS: &[&str] = &[
	"black", "red", "green", "yellow", "blue", "magenta", "cyan", "white",
	];

	fn title(t: &str) {

	f().

	Str = fun(X) -> io_lib:format("~p", [X]) end.

	Percent = fun
	(A, 0) -> "100%";
	(A, B) -> [Str(round(100*A/B)), "%"]
	end.

	Get = fun
