post | Learnings Week 22 2011 |

This past week, despite moving apartments across Berkeley on Wednesday, I managed to learn some interesting things here and there.
- The GNU/diff utility can display full side-by-side diffs with the use of the
-y
flag. In conjunction withcolordiff
(e.g.diff -y file.c file.c.orig | colordiff
) this can provide pretty helpful, console-based, side-by-side comparisons - oprofile is both useful and a pain in the ass, at the same time
- Sasparalla, the drink, is very similar to root beer. Sasparilla the plant, is a trailing vine native to central america. I always thought The Stranger character in The Big Lebowski was ordering some kind of liquor, not a root beer.
- In Jenkins, using a combinations of promoted builds, "keep build forever" and build descriptions is a great way to denote: which build is ready to be deployed (promoted builds) and which builds have been deployed (keep forever, edit description).
- The authentic German bakery "Octoberfeast" in downtown Berkeley sells loafs of bread, but no brötchen. The hunt continues.
