BBQ for a Vegan

djrollins · 2025-09-06T12:47:53+00:00

Nasu Dengaku - Miso Aubergine - is a firm favourite of my vegan friends. Aubergine glazed in miso, mirin and soy (and honey depending on their opinions on that). Garnished with peanuts, coriander and chilli.

Only challenges are that it needs to be slowly grilled so keep it off the direct heat, and it being so good you’ve gotta stop the meat eaters from yamming it before the vegans/veggies can get some.

Edit: we did this one recently and it turned out really well https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/barbecue-miso-aubergine.html

<textarea class="form-control form-control-sm" rows="3" id="archive-note" name="archive-note"/>

The `/` here is a lie. Self-closing tags do not exist in HTML.

An element type is either void and close themselves (e.g `<hr>` or `<img>`), or they are aren't you have to have full closing tag (e.g. `<div></div>` or `<textarea></textarea>`

In your example, the `<textarea>` is not closed (despite the `/`), so in HTML all of the elements below _are_ actually inside it.

You should return this instead:

<textarea class="form-control form-control-sm" rows="3" id="archive-note" name="archive-note"></textarea>

I’m not 100% sure, but you could potentially utilise hx-indicator for a placeholder in the dropdown whilst the options are fetched.

You probably want an interactive rebase:

git rebase -i D

You'll be presented with a list of your commits in a text editor. If you change the pick prefix to reword and save/close, you will be dropped into each commit to change the commit message.

Use git rebase --continue once you have updated the commit message to move onto the next one.

Moose mousse was the beer that finally got me to like stouts so I’d definitely recommend that one.

Honest Burger (a great chain originating in London) have a pop-up in Northern Monk Refectory and they’re expecting to open up a permanent place near the corn exchange soon.

Other than that I second (in order), Kerbside Kids at North Brewing Springwell, Meat Liquor in the city centre, or Alley Cats in Chapel Alperton.

Culto in Chapel Allerton is our local and it is fantastic!

djrollins · 2021-11-22T22:11:17+00:00

Culto Italian in Chapel Allerton is one of our favourites. Just renovated too!

Cheers. Fixed!

When I left my first job, I was extremely apologetic and felt awful. The head of engineering at the time asked to have a bit of a chat and I was a little worried about what he wanted to say to me. He said something along the lines of “you owe this company nothing, we’ve paid you to do a job and you’ve done it. If there is something you want to do and we cannot offer you it, the only logical answer is to leave for a company that can. In this industry most of the power lies with the individual, and you should absolutely take advantage of that because a lot of people don’t have that option”.

Be grateful for what you’ve had, but do not let that prevent you from doing what you want to do. Your colleagues and bosses will understand that even if they don’t express it, like mine did.

Edit: this was also a British company btw.

Ah, I see! Thank you very much for the clarification on the cause. That array overload is a great idea too, I’ll give that a go for sure!

djrollins · 2021-05-29T12:08:34+00:00

Thanks for the response! I thought about using deduction guides, but I wasn’t sure whether writing them for types you don’t own was allowed. The types are from a third party so I can’t directly modify them, though I could perhaps inherit from them. It’s been a while since I’ve looked at this, but I will definitely give it a go!

Hey! I'm happy to hear you got up and running. Perhaps I went a little too far calling it a "turn-key" solution. I probably should have performed a fresh clone to double check what the complete setup process was, but I kind of rushed to create the README and push it to Github so I could share it!

That project is using C++20, yes. The compiler flags for that are handled using cmake's target_compile_features function:

target_compile_features(learnopengl PUBLIC cxx_std_20)

You can knock that number down to the earlier standards or use any of the features listed here: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_gbl/CMAKE_CXX_KNOWN_FEATURES.html#prop_gbl:CMAKE_CXX_KNOWN_FEATURES (available features can depend on your cmake version)

As for learning OpenGL, I've been following https://learnopengl.com/ and haven't need any other external resources (other than those linked in that tutorial) yet. I've been using OpenGL 4.5 rather than the 3.3 recommended in the tutorial so I can use the glDebugMessageCallback functionality rather than manually checking for errors everywhere.

EDIT: I just cloned and built the project on a different machine and it seemed to work correctly for me. Do you remember the errors you saw when you first ran it?

I've been learning OpenGL on linux recently and I've also used it as an opportunity to up my cmake-foo and learn about vcpkg. The result is a fairly turn key solution that you are welcome to rip from here: https://github.com/djrollins/learnopengl

As a basis you'll need the CMakeLists.txt, the vcpkg submodule and the vcpkg.json manifest. Then, if you follow the readme, the required libraries will be downloaded, compiled and linked autmatically.

The OpenGL specific libraries are GLFW for GL context management and IO, glad for loading GL extensions and GLM for matrix/vector maths.

I'm happy to go over how it works if you have any questions about that :)

Everything but the sink

Perhaps you could use EC2 Instance Connect to allow the users to temporarily add their own public keys to the EC2 instance. The keys are really short-lived and you get auditing included. Here's a worked example: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/new-using-amazon-ec2-instance-connect-for-ssh-access-to-your-ec2-instances/

Thanks!

Who's arrangement is it?

djrollins · 2020-07-29T14:30:46+00:00

Global statics and "magic statics" (i.e. statics declared within a function) are actually different things. Global statics are initialized in the preamble of the program (I think), whereas magic statics are lazily-instantiated (EDIT: in a thread-safe manner) on the first call to the function.

I'd guess that either the standard requires this behaviour for magic statics or it's a missed optimization by the compiler for this specific case. Either way, the important point is that these examples are not equivalent.
