While debugging, you can use the Debug Console to print memory, including the content of strings that are clipped by default in the variables and watch windows.
View > Open View > Debug ConsoleFrom there, send gdb a command to print memory – 300 characters of a string in this example:
-exec x/300sb Query.c_str()Make sure you use a char*, not a string object – if it’s a string, just tack on .c_str().
This article is a great explanation of the details. To explain.. no, too much. To sum up:
function custom_add_google_fonts() {
wp_enqueue_style(
'custom-google-fonts',
'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat|Quicksand',
false
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_add_google_fonts' );
body { font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; }
#content h2 { font-family: Quicksand, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; }
The never ending browser war… I will always strive to make Firefox my browser. But a browser is too important for compromise.
In linux and Windows, I just added the Tab to Window/Popup – Keyboard Shortcut to my Chrome, with c-sh-PgUp/Down keys to pull/push the current tab from/to Chrome windows. Chrome is working well as long as I keep the tab count low enough (~100) to prevent chrome from completely fucking my system. I gotta get that number higher. Make me a believer again FF.
Today I updated my gentoo server’s eselected PHP from 5.6 to 7.2 and wordpress phabricator and mediawiki didn’t even hiccup. WordPress went from a steaming pile of stubborn version upgrade refusal right back into line. I used mysqldump to back up all my databases, less than a GB. I git pulled phabricator’s stable branch (updated weekly from master) and ran a boatload of database patches that went smooth as coconut milkfat. I git-skipped the .arcconfig files so i could just update them in place. OK… why did that all just work?
Update: I went ahead and made the phabricator-recommended changes to mysql and PHP, including installing a PHP memory-based cache:
emerge -DavuN dev-php/pecl-apcu
And that, of course, cascaded me into a gentoo server update.
emerge -uDNav --with-bdeps=y --backtrack=100 --autounmask-keep-masks=y @world
And away we go…
UPDATE: ok these are a few more of my “favorite” things…
Out of the box Visual Studio Code is great but doesn’t do save+compile+debug very well. The default debugging configuration just runs the debugger on existing code without saving or compiling first.
But the task system is GREAT and makes almost any possible automation pretty straightforward. Here’s a quick example. First set up any command line tasks you might need in your tasks.json file (Terminal > Configure Tasks > pick any task), eg:
{
// See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
// for the documentation about the tasks.json format

"tasks": [
{

"command": "clear && bash -i -c 'at dbd'",
"group": {
