Discover gists

It is the year 2020 and replicating APFS containers still sucks. One would expect it would be a simple copy and paste in the Disk Utility app but this is still far from reality.

Last year I wrote how I managed to clone my macOS system under Catalina. The main trick was to create a DMG file with multiple volumes, mount it on target machine and drop to command-line to do asr restore from synthetised disk while avoiding possible pitfalls.

The good news is that Apple devs definitely worked on improving this under Big Sur and added some documentation (see man asr). But I didn't understand it fully on first read. Maybe someone could explain how is this supposed to work?

Learning Rust

The following is a list of resources for learning Rust as well as tips and tricks for learning the language faster.

Warning

Rust is not C or C++ so the way your accustomed to do things in those languages might not work in Rust. The best way to learn Rust is to embrace its best practices and see where that takes you.

The generally recommended path is to start by reading the books, and doing small coding exercises until the rules around borrow checking become intuitive. Once this happens, then you can expand to more real world projects. If you find yourself struggling hard with the borrow checker, seek help. It very well could be that you're trying to solve your problem in a way that goes against how Rust wants you to work.

Question 1

Write a function that takes two arrays as input, each array contains a list of A-Z; Your program should return True if the 2nd array is a subset of 1st array, or False if not.

For example: isSubset([A,B,C,D,E], [A,E,D]) = true isSubset([A,B,C,D,E], [A,D,Z]) = false isSubset([A,D,E], [A,A,D,E]) = true

Setup intellisense for Butano project with VSCode C/C++ extension

Install C/C++ extension for VSCode
Copy the snippet below, and paste it as <yourProjectRoot>/.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json
Change the line "<yourPathToButano>/butano/include", to your location of Butano
- For example, if you installed Butano to the C:/butano, it should be "C:/butano/butano/include",

	// npm install --save scrollreveal or install like you're used to doing it.
	// It doesn't work well if there are multiple instances of ScrollReveal,
	// so we have to create a module returning an instance:
	// file ScrollReveal.js:
	import ScrollReveal from 'scrollreveal'
	export default ScrollReveal()

	// Then in a component:
	import React from 'react'
	import sr from './ScrollReveal'
