Accept the quest under User Settings -> Gift Inventory

Goal: find a Linux alternative to FancyZones for Windows

Name	Recommended	Type	Supports main colum	Supports layouts	Multiple windows in same tile	Windows can span multiple zones	Notes
gSnap	👍👍	Gnome extension	yes	yes	yes	yes	Can be configured almost just like FancyZones; in the settings: disable Show tabs enable Hold CTRL to snap windows
gTile		Gnome extension			no?
Tiling Assistant	👍	Gnome extension	yes	yes	yes	yes	Layout support is "experimental" and the UX is a bit unintuitive; after enabling layouts, you have to click the star icon beside a layout to mark it as a favourite before you can then hold Alt while dragging

Install and Configure - Windows Server 2016 Core on ProxMox VM

stage drivers locally

# display available drives
Get-PSDrive

# create local driver directory
mkdir c:\drivers

These examples all live in a default server block in your httpd.conf(5).

server "default" {
	listen on * port 80
	... # all the location blocks can together right here
}

We'll be using slowcgi(8) as the example, because with the -d flag it helpfully spits out the FastCGI environment it got from httpd(8) and what it's planning to do with that.

Stuff I wish I'd known sooner about service workers

I recently had several days of extremely frustrating experiences with service workers. Here are a few things I've since learned which would have made my life much easier but which isn't particularly obvious from most of the blog posts and videos I've seen.

I'll add to this list over time – suggested additions welcome in the comments or via twitter.com/rich_harris.

Use Canary for development instead of Chrome stable

~~Chrome 51 has some pretty wild behaviour related to console.log in service workers. Canary doesn't, and it has a load of really good service worker related stuff in devtools.~~

In the last years I've been asked multiple times about the comparison between raylib and SDL libraries. Unfortunately, my experience with SDL was quite limited so I couldn't provide a good comparison. In the last two years I've learned about SDL and used it to teach at University so I feel that now I can provide a good comparison between both.

Hope it helps future users to better understand this two libraries internals and functionality.
