This is the weblog of Intrepid Wanderer. You never know what you
might find here;
graphic descriptions of bodily functions, computer programming secrets,
proselytizing for the antichrist, miscellaneous ranting and kvetching,
valuable information on living off the land...
if you don't share my rather weird interests you may want to try
slashdot instead.
You can consider my Del.icio.us links an extension to my blog, as are my LifeTango goals and my other to-do items. My to-buy list is also public, but only for sharing any useful ideas that might be there; I'm not requesting charity, neither do I offer it.
You can find me easily in google searches, as jcomeau, jcomeau_ictx, or jcomeauictx. There are lots of other jcomeaus, but AFAIK I'm the only jcomeau_ictx out there so far.
If you want to comment on anything you see here, try the new Facebook comments, reachable by clicking the "[comment]" link at the end of each post. If for some reason that isn't working, go ahead and email me, jc.unternet.net. You know what to do with the first dot. Make the 'subject' line something reasonably intelligent-looking or it goes plunk! into the spambasket unread.
This RSS feed may or may not work. Haven't fiddled with it in forever.

Thank Zuck for Facebook saved items. I had forgotten the name of the innovative GKOS keyboard, and couldn't find it with Google searches, but found a link I had saved. Going to implement it, or something similar, in my stopgap editor. [comment]

For some time now (years?) I've wanted to run jslint on my JavaScript code, but after that last project a few years back with Node.js, I wanted nothing more to do with npm and node polluting my Linux development box (laptop).
Finally this morning I googled and stackoverflowed around a bit, and decided on eslint, a newer open-source project with a runnable docker image.
So I fetched it: docker pull cytopia/eslint; created
$HOME/.local/bin/eslint with the following contents:
#!/bin/sh docker run --interactive --tty --rm --volume $PWD:/data cytopia/eslint $*
And copied the following sample config from eslint.org into a new file, eslint.config.js, in my project directory:
module.exports = [
{
rules: {
semi: "error",
"prefer-const": "error"
}
}
];
Now I can run it normally:
jcomeau@bendergift:/usr/src/jcomeauictx/cardboard-editor/stopgap$ eslint stopgap.js/data/stopgap.js 173:9 error Parsing error: Missing catch or finally clause * 1 problem (1 error, 0 warnings)
It works! [comment]
