How to add a tachometer to a Triumph Street Twin (2016-2019)
Subclassed

The Problem I recently gave in to family tradition: I'm originally from Bologna, home of Ducati and heart of the Italian "Motor Valley", so sooner or later I had to buy a motorbike (or two, but nevermind). As the main workhorse I went for a 2018 Triumph Street Twin, because it's practical but still fun, fairly cheap, and simply beautiful. I love it to bits, but one thing I really missed: a tachometer ("rev counter"). While trying their hardest to segment the Bonneville range, Triumph clearly thought that people would pay a few grand more and get a Speed Twin just so that they could see RPMs ..read more

On OneStream

If you follow me on LinkedIn, you might have noticed that, about two years ago, I joined OneStream. I've since refrained from writing about it, for a number of reasons: the product is massive, so it took a while to get to grasp with it; my new role kinda constrained what I could talk about; and I thought I wasn't particularly well-qualified yet to speak about the subject. I recently attended the Splash conference for the first time. One of the things I brought home from San Antonio (together with a certain virus most people thought defeated) was the belief that, by now, I actually know a few ..read more

Detecting Badger2040 boards and automating uploads
Subclassed

I recently bought a bunch of Pimoroni Badger2040 boards, and they are a lot of fun. The Badger is basically a small microcontroller (the Raspberry Pico) with an eInk display, in the size of a typical office badge. It has a few buttons you can interact with, when powered, but because of eInk it doesn't actually need to be powered all the time - you can just set it to the desired screen, turn off the battery, and the screen will stay as it was more or less forever. The fun bit is that it can run MicroPython, so programming it is a breeze. You don't have to deal with all the scary vagaries of C ..read more

Better access to special characters with AutoHotkey on Windows

EDIT 2020-06-21: I tweaked the layout a bit, and updated screenshot and scripts. When you're trying to improve your typing skills, there are quite a few things you can do: learning to touchtype, getting an ergonomic / split keyboard, or moving to a better layout than QWERTY. However, if you're like me (small hands, short pinkie), chances are that none of these will be of much help when you have to type a lot of special characters, for example in programming. That's because special characters are typically hard to reach. Most layouts banish them to the edges of town, leaving them almost entirel ..read more

Django + PostgreSQL + Docker-Compose: a few gotchas
Subclassed
by toyg

A lot of the tutorials out there make it look like it's trivial to set up a development environment with Django, Postgres and Docker. That never quite matched my experience; you always end up knowing too much about docker, and there are a few gotchas that most people typically fail to mention. The following are a few specifically related to Postgres and Django, which I'm writing here because I tend to forget them every time I start a new project... A running container is not a running database Docker-compose will happily report a container as "up" even though it's busy doing init work. With po ..read more

Announcing the AutoEPM Patch Tracker

UPDATE: This service has been discontinued; this post is left as historical reference. If you need this sort of thing, contact me on LinkedIn. With the recent release of EPM 11.2, I thought it would be a good time to make public a tool I've built and used "behind the scenes" for quite some time, the AutoEPM Patch Tracker. It's a patch tracker focused on EPM products, automatically aggregating updates and pointing to readmes, hopefully a bit faster to peruse than My Oracle Support. It also recommends Critical Product Updates that can be applied to the EPM stack, and the most common "standard" u ..read more

Oracle Hyperion EPM 11.2 - first impressions
Subclassed

Last month, Oracle finally released the long-awaited on-premises release of EPM 11.2, rumoured to be the last hurrah for the venerable suite. After a couple of test installations, I have a few thoughts from an infrastructure perspective. First, the bad news: This is very much a .0 release, in many ways the first since 11.1.2.0 (the last time so much of the infrastructure had substantially changed). It is rough in quite a few places, and configuration is not for the faint of heart. I have encountered what, to me, looks like a blocking bug in multi-server configurations. I filed a support reque ..read more

How to dump macOS security-rights database
Subclassed
by toyg
2y ago
macOS handles some security items in a custom database, which may or may not be SQLite. The official way to interact with such database, outside of Objective-C, is the /usr/bin/security utility, with the parameter authorizationdb and specifying the required operation on the class of rights, e.g. security authorizationdb read system.login.console Unfortunately, there is no way (that I could find) to simply list all classes. I was trying to uninstall something that might have had references in that db, but I wasn't sure about the class it might be registered under, so I wanted to dump them all ..read more

Procedure If you want to remove all toolbars from Firefox in fullscreen mode on Mac, this is the procedure: Type about:config: in the location bar to open advanced settings. (If it is the first time you do it, you might have to click "confirm" or something like that in the scary screen that comes up first.) search for full-screen-api.allow-trusted-requests-only and double-click the line that is found, so the value changes to false Bring up the Bookmark Toolbar if you don't have it (menu View -> Toolbars -> Bookmark Toolbar) Right-click on empty space in the Bookmark Toolbar, and select ..read more
