Infojunk October 2018

This is a collection of interesting links and resources I came across in October 2018, covering a wide range of topics including browser extensions, collaborative coding, Linux, AWS, and more.

Browser Extensions

• I don’t care about cookies
• Imagus or HoverZoom+ to enlarge images on mouse over (don’t use HoverZoom since it’s a data hog).
• Amazon Infinite Scroll

Collaborative Coding

Focusing on IDEs. Web-based solutions are mostly ignored.

• Floobits - IntelliJ, SublimeText, Atom, vscode-plugin in the works
• CodeStream - the new and fancy one
• tmate - terminal sharing over tmux
• Visual Studio Live Share - Visual Studio Code
• AWS Cloud9 - coding for the cloud
• ScreenHero - h264 video streaming and now bought by Slack.io, lacking Linux support

Linux

• Use Chromium to have Hardware Acceleration in your YouTube Videos - don’t forget to install the h264ify browser extension to force h264 (Chrome chooses VP9 by default which is currently not accelerated).
• Touchpad Gestures for Gnome
• There are no GTK3 themes! Remove theming support?

NodeJS

• node-packer binary compiler

DevOps

• Next Generation Shell

AI/MachineLearning

• Google AI Blog

AWS

JmesPath is not as powerful as jq, but Amazon AWS probably chose it since it might be faster and the query-selectors are a bit more sophisticated (?).

Infojunk September 2018

This is a collection of interesting links and resources I came across in September 2018, covering topics like Kotlin, Python, Markdown, note-taking apps, web development, Linux, and more.

Kotlin

• Kotlin vs. Scala vs. Java
• What should I choose instead of Java?
• Super Kotlin Tutorial
• SQL with Kotlin Exposed
• Kotlin Playground

Python

• Map, Reduce, Filter

Markdown Notetaking

Some notetaking apps you should give a try. At least Notion is very promising (yet you have to pay).
