In previous posts, I talked about why I switched from iOS to Android. After 1 year and a half, after 3 different Android phones (Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and Samsung Galaxy S5), I’m finally going to switch back to iOS. For several reasons in facts but the major ones are those: Application quality lower than on iOS Lower global stability on Samsung Touchwizz and Cyanogen I was pretty happy with Google Stock ROM, however it’s not available on all devices and the Nexus do not have the better hardware (not talking about Nexus 6).

Merging from one branch to another branch is something common with Git. I had to do it several times and recently I had to make a big one. I’ve just never took the time to look at what exist to make faster merge and how to use it. After some researches, I found git mergetool which will use VIM (by default on my laptop) to have a better view on what I have to do, to merge my files.

You may upgrade your Mac OS X version to Yosemite (10.10) and saw you dual boot with Linux not working anymore :-(. That’s because Apple made changes and Refind is not yet ready for it. So here is the solution to get your dual boot half back. It won’t fully work as expected, but you’ll be able to boot to Linux with Refind and Mac OS X with the alt key.

In the last blog posts, I talked about Galera Innoptimizer tool I’ve made in Python. As a VIM lover, I’ve wrote it with that editor and installed additional them with Vundle. Here are the one I’m using (to my .vimrc file): " Python completionPlugin 'klen/python-mode'" TabularPlugin 'godlygeek/tabular'" Git GutterPlugin 'airblade/vim-gitgutter' Python completion helps to autocomplete some Python functions automatically. Tabular helps on correctly aligning multiple lines and gitguuter helps you with git to see a live gitdiff !

I recently had a gift, this is a connected strap, the Jawbone UP24 model. It doesn’t do a lot of things, but what it does works well. I wanted one with a good autonomy. And a recent firmware update grew from 7 days to 14 the number of days the battery autonomy. I also wanted a strap able to give me information on night I’ve spent, doesn’t let me sleep all the afternoon during a siesta.

A colleague talked to me about this tool this week and I felt in love. It helps to easily navigate into your git repository. You can have a look on last log and directly in the same interface the diff of the current commit. I’ve attached one screenshot to let you see how cool it is. The are also a lot of other features but just for browsing purpose. You can’t update or make changes.

Fig is a fast, isolated development environments using Docker. For some features, it can be compared to Vagrant where the Dockerfike is not enough powerful to build multiple instances. For example, let’s say you want to test a new product version of a software like MediaWiki and you want to build the complete stack. So you may need to have several tools categories (depending of the usage): Web: Nginx, PHP-FPM, Varnish App Cahing: Redis Search: ElasticSearch In Vagrant you can natively build 3 VM and interconnect them without the need of additional tool.
