Meteo from Poland is a great source for numerical weather forecast. Website is in english, but their forecast is mainly for Poland + Border regions of the neighbours. http://www.meteo.pl/index_en.php

If you know the coordinates, you can access a jpg-generated meteogram directly over the URL - example for Berlin: http://www.meteo.pl/um/metco/mgram_pict.php?ntype=0u&fdate=2...

One idea out of many (many have been mentioned by others already): I set linter to always report failure in CI when TODO or FIXME markers are found. So my PR never gets green until I fix them all. I place o lot of such markers if I know that I will not finish in a given focus block (doesn't have to be an end-of-business-day).

Looks very nice to get the first impression over a person. There is usually a lot of hints and information in the Internet about how to build such first-impression CV. However, EU companies (maybe elsewhere too?) often ask about second-impression CV with more technical details.

I search for a tool helping you to build your coding experience matrix. Imagine a chart looking similar to Github activity tiles or a spreadsheet, where on the x-axis you present time, and on the y-axis you place the coding languages or technologies that you have used in that time.

Such thing would help telling the interviewer, that you have 3 years of C++ experience, but your last project on this was in 2013. Anyone seen something like this?

edit: grammar & typos

Inability to open selected recipes in a new tab (e.g., to read later) is really annoying

I setup Github repos to automatically delete merged branches - in this case, the remote counterpart will be gone. There might be just the following missing to sync remove `origin/*` branches locally: `git fetch --prune`

Not so fancy, but a one-liner

  # Remove all local branches for which there is no remote
  git branch -r | awk '{print $1}' | egrep -v -f /dev/fd/0 <(git branch -vv | grep origin) | awk '{print $1}' | xargs git branch -D

I skip reading articles with white background when in bed, because the screen light is too bright even at the lowest screen brightness setting. Fortunately HN client can display comments white on dark :)

Please keep both versions up to date! Once you get the attention of recruiter (using your one-page Resume) then they usually ask for more information - longer CV, skills matrix, etc.

I invested some time to shorten my resume to exactly one page and now I get a bit irritated when people ask me for a longer version.

I could also open-source mine wedding page, but it would be very similar to https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/

:norm(al) command Allows you to do some of the vim magic also on remote systems where you don't have all your plugins.

Example:

(1) Select block with `C-v`

(2) Hit colon `:`

(3) Write norm and enter any sequence as you would be in normal mode: `norm I# ` (prepend selection with a comment sign)

(4) Admire the result.

" (but no more than 12, because who's going to remember more than 12 characters?)" - please don't do this! What if I use a password manager and I insist to have a long password that I don't need to remember? Moreover, some passwords are easier to remember because they are long.
