For some reason, it is surprisingly hard to create a bootable Windows USB using macOS. These are my steps for doing so, which have worked for me in macOS Monterey (12.6.1) for Windows 10 and 11. After following these steps, you should have a bootable Windows USB drive.

1. Download a Windows disc image (i.e. ISO file)

You can download Windows 10 or Windows 11 directly from Microsoft.

2. Identify your USB drive

After plugging the drive to your machine, identify the name of the USB device using diskutil list, which should return an output like the one below. In my case, the correct disk name is disk2.

What is a metric?

Metrics capture a value pertaining to your systems at a specific point in time.

Metrics are usually collected once per second, one per minute, or at another regular interval to monitor a system over time.

For different Metric Data Types and the metric names they produce see https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/metrics/types/?tab=histogram#metric-types

Tools

Located in alphabetical order (not prefer)

ab – slow and single threaded, written in C
apib – most of the features of ApacheBench (ab), also designed as a more modern replacement, written in C
autocannon – fast HTTP/1.1 benchmarking tool written in Node.js
baloo – Expressive end-to-end HTTP API testing made easy, written in Go (golang)

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

	formatReadableSize(sum(bytes)) as size,
