Installing tmux-256color for macOS

macOS 10.15.5
tmux 3.1b

macOS has ncurses version 5.7 which does not ship the terminfo description for tmux. There're two ways that can help you to solve this problem.

The Fast Blazing Solution

Instead of tmux-256color, use screen-256color which comes with system. Place this command into ~/.tmux.conf or ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf(for version 3.1 and later):

gpg-agent setup

Need to setup gpg-agent first, on OSX I use keychain (it also does ssh-agent)

$ brew info keychain
keychain: stable 2.8.5
User-friendly front-end to ssh-agent(1)

/usr/local/Cellar/keychain/2.8.5 (7 files, 108.5KB) *

Install and Create Emulators using AVDMANAGER and SDKMANAGER

TL;DR

For an emulator that mimics a Pixel 5 Device with Google APIs and ARM architecture (for an M1/M2 Macbook):

List All System Images Available for Download: sdkmanager --list | grep system-images
Download Image: sdkmanager --install "system-images;android-30;google_atd;arm64-v8a"

ANSI Escape Sequences

Standard escape codes are prefixed with Escape:

Ctrl-Key: ^[
Octal: \033
Unicode: \u001b
Hexadecimal: \x1B
Decimal: 27

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

There are always 24 hours in a day.
February is always 28 days long.
Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).
