ah, much appreciated!

I love that this is part of the syntax.
I typically use closures to do this in other languages, but the syntax is always so cumbersome. You get the "dog balls" that Douglas Crockford always called them:
``` const config = (() => { const raw_data = ...
...
return compiled;const result = config.whatever;
// carry on
return result; ```
Really wish block were expressions in more languages.

stuck for 20 minutes on lvl 6 for the optimal solution, 10/10 would recommend
I keep coming back to it and can't get better than 8 on lvl 6. Would love to know how you've done it!

Harry Browne had a technique for splitting up assets: One partner does the splitting. And the other partner gets to choose who gets which pile.
(He also has a more elaborate one, where the partners do a virtual auction of all items among themselves, to account for cases where particular items are worth a lot more to one of them. I believe it’s in his book “How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World”).
When I cook I usually have a portion I prefer. I always try my living hardest to let my wife pick which portion I have as to make it fair.
nadinengland commented on Adminer: Database management in a single PHP file github.com/vrana/adminer... · Posted by u/lsferreira42
It's wonderful tool and has simplified workflows for many, just be mindful of its one giant security implication. Should your database credentials ever leak in any way (lost/stolen property, incorrect git commit, screencasting mishap, ...), having an Adminer/phpMyAdmin instance running on an otherwise unrestricted address, you're opening up (quite literally) your server to a world of trouble.
(I speak from experience. I've seen a lot of credentials leak together with source code. This meant I saw "secret" paths where Adminer was hosted on a given site. Having database credentials meant I didn't have to somehow circumvent network security to get to the database itself. [Yes, I disclosed all of this to the server operator and even got a measly $50 gift card out of it :-)])
Yeah, at previous jobs there has been a db.devopsdomain.com (etc) which acted like a bastion into the network from which you could connect with DB credentials to the actual databases.
It's convenient I will say that. I've tried not to replicate this exactly and instead have adminer running on a server on the network but only listening to localhost connections. To get access to it you can then SSH tunnel the ports locally:
> # Route 8082 on your machine to localhost:8080 on the server: > ssh -N -L 8082:localhost:8080 db.devopsdomain.com

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve been using Mac for years and still don’t know how to make an application fullscreen like Windows does. The green button hides the menu bar, and alt clicking the green buttom makes the app bigger but doesn’t fill the whole screen.
Either I am stupid or Mac is bad at discoverability.
To make it maximise the area in your current mac Space (i.e. not go "full screen" in a new Space) you can go: Mac Menu -> Window -> Zoom. I just usually double click the App's window bar and it stretches the same way.
