True Color (24-bit) and italics with alacritty + tmux + vim (neovim)

This should make True Color (24-bit) and italics work in your tmux session and vim/neovim when using Alacritty (and should be compatible with any other terminal emulator, including Kitty).

Testing colors

Running this script should look the same in tmux as without.

Android Studio Shortcuts (Mac)

Notes:

Two of the most useful shortcuts utilize the Fn (function) keys. It is therefore recommended that you enable the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" option [System Preferences > Keyboard].
Be sure to enable the Mac OS X 10.5+ keymap in Android Studio [Preferences > Keymap].
A fairly complete shortcut list can be found here.

Lesson's learnt building the Guardian

Below is a collection of my favourite responses I gathered from Guardian engineers when asked the question: What have you learnt starting from scratch and building a mobile-first next generation web platform for the Guardian?

Daithi O Crualaoich

Work with great people.
Deploy like crazy. This means the team has to control the infrastructure as well as code.
Design is not a service. Designers have to sit in the team.
Infrastructure is intrinsically unreliable. Discard and replace is the robust strategy.
Use your CDN for HTML too.
Don't always do as you are told.

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

	# Removing a user will prevent them from reading future changes but they will
	# still have a copy of the data up to the point of their removal.
