  An experience on fixing HTTP 406 Not Acceptable error

This post is about an experience of mine on fixing a HTTP 406 Not Acceptable error seen on one of my page. Just got back from a business trip and opened my computer as usual to start to monitor my website statistics. But when I opened the page on showing real time page views, it shows nothing but zero. So I pressed F12 to bring up the developer tool to check on what's going on. The logic of loading the real time page view is backed by AJAX call. In the developer tool console, I see that the rAJA...

  Fuzzy search algorithm in Sublime Text

Fuzzy string searching is the technique of finding strings that match a pattern approximately (rather than exactly. In many editors, we can easily find the Find menu item to do exact matching. While in Sublime Text and some other editors, we can use fuzzy string searching as well if we just want to have an approximate match. There is some algorithm implemented in Sublime Text to implement achieve this. First the search query is split into characters, join them with a regex wildcard, and then run...

  Leaving comments in real life

As a programmer I like to write comments because I know that some future person (often me) is going to need to know something about my code that won't be immediately obvious from reading it. Here's a recent example from my homebrew display's code:// protocol_init: Set up a newly powered-on string of lights.  The lights are arranged// in an array wired diagonally starting from the bottom left.  For ease of programming// it's better if they are given numbers which correspond to coor...

  Front-end Style Guides

We all know that feeling: some time after we launch a site, new designers and developers come in and make adjustments. They add styles that don’t fit with the content, use typefaces that make us cringe, or chuck in bloated code. But if we didn’t leave behind any documentation, we can’t really blame them for messing up our hard work.
