TIL: tempfile in ruby, use it for easy garbage collection afterwards

Today, I was working on a script at work where I ultimately needed to export a 2MB file and although this isn’t a large file, I know I will forget about getting rid of it so while searching around, I came across tempfile. Tempfile simply will be garbage collected

A little easter egg for May 4th:

Using Numi app for calculations

I’ve used the Calculator app on the iPhone for as long as I’ve had a smartphone and I think on the computer, it’s a weird thing that’s been missing for a long time. Recently, Apple brought the Calculator app to Mac but I don’t think

TIL: using my own blog as a knowledge DB with Google as the search engine

Jugni — Rabbi Shergill

I forget about this song for long periods of time since it’s not on Spotify. There’s a lot of substance in this song and it’ll be hard for me properly cover through translations but there are a few lines I’d like to summarize. A personal take
