Introduction

A JSON compilation database is a very handy output format which is parsed and used by many development tools. Unfortunately for us Apple Developers, it is not straightforward to generate one from within Xcode, as it is (probably) not Apple's priority and therefore there is no toggle/switch/setting that can be easily enabled to get this information.

There is however a solution, thanks to Apple using Clang/LLVM as their main toolchain.

Implementation

The standard way to generate this with clang would be to use the -MJ flag and give it a file name that typically corresponds to the input file. Using this flag indirectly through Xcode is hard, given that we're not aware of all the other arguments when a compiler call is executed.

However, there is a second hidden/badly documented LLVM flag: -gen-cdb-fragment-path - it is implemented in terms of -MJ and has the same functionality, but it's argument in contrast is an output directory.

How to mount a qcow2 disk image

This is a quick guide to mounting a qcow2 disk images on your host server. This is useful to reset passwords, edit files, or recover something without the virtual machine running.

Step 1 - Enable NBD on the Host

modprobe nbd max_part=8

Preambule

Looking to learn about game development? Are you a Linux enthusiast looking to test the claim that "Linux runs on everything"? Perhaps you are a software developer who is looking to release for multiple architectures, and you don't have another MIPS Little Endian machine on-hand for testing your programme. Whatever your situation there are a surprising number of reasons to install Linux on a Playstation 2, even sixteen years after it's release (boy do I feel old all of a sudden.), yet an equally surprising lack of documentation about it or how to install it.

Now don't get me wrong, if you want to use the original Sony Linux Kit, or one of it's updated open source releases on a fat PS2 with a network adapter and an IDE hard disk you can find plenty of info. However th

Ways to remap caps lock to control on Windows 10

These methods in this gist worked for me on my U.S.-based keyboard layouts. I am unsure about other layouts. If you have problems, revert your changes; delete the registry key you created (and reboot).

Update: you should probably scroll down to approach 4 where I suggest using Microsoft PowerToys Keyboard Manager.

Approach 1. Manually through regedit

Navigate to and create a new binary value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout named Scancode Map.
