There are some things I missed from OSX though. One of which is <a href="https://github.com/marzocchi/zsh-notify">zsh-notify</a>. It's a zsh plugin that alerts you if your long-running task is complete, and whether it failed or not.</p>
|
|
|
+<p>It's pretty convenient when you're compiling something and then go on to browse reddit while waiting. Usually, I spend too much time just reading and forget about the compilation entirely. With the plugin, I get the notification and maybe go back to work.</p>
|
|
|
+<p>One nice feature it has is that if you're currently looking at the terminal window of the job that just finished, it won't notify you. It only notifies on windows that aren't currently in focus. To do this, it has to actually talk to Terminal.app or iTerm2 to see if the window and tab are active.</p>
|
|
|
+<p>This is alright in OSX since those 2 are the generally most used terminal emulators. On Linux though, everyone has their own favorite terminal. Given that, I figured I could probably rely on talking to X to see if the window is active instead of each single terminal emulator. X can't tell if the tab is active though, but I don't use tabs in my current setup so it should still be good.</p>
|
|
|
+<h3>xdotool</h3>
|
|
|
+<p><a href="http://superuser.com/questions/382616/detecting-currently-active-window">Preliminary research</a> reveals that we can easily get what the active window is with xdotool. <code>xdotool getactivewindow</code> gives us the X window id of the active one. Now all we need is a way to get the window id of the terminal we're in.</p>
|
|
|
+<h3>First Attempt: $WINDOWID</h3>
|
|
|
+<p>Apparently, xterm and similar terminal emulators define an environment variable called <code>$WINDOWID</code> with the window id of the terminal. Obviously, this is too good to be true. In xterm and konsole the <code>$WINDOWID</code> was correct, but in VTE-based terminal emulators, <code>$WINDOWID</code> had the wrong value. In terminology, it didn't define <code>$WINDOWID</code> altogether. So <code>$WINDOWID</code> wasn't going to work.</p>
|
|
|
+<h3>Second Attempt: xdotool search $MAGIC</h3>
|
|
|
+<p>My second idea was that you can use zsh to change the window title to a magic number and then just check if the active window is the same one as the window with the magic number. This sort of worked for most terminals, except konsole which does whatever it wants with the window title. There's also the problem of some zsh configs automatically settings the window title to the current command.</p>
|
|
|
+<p>In hindsight, I could probably have just done <code>xdotool search --name xdotool</code> since in most cases, when you run the search, zsh or konsole will set the window name to the current command. Maybe that's another option I can explore some day.</p>
|
|
|
+<h3>Third Attempt: $PPID</h3>
|
|
|
+<p>My third idea was another environment variable called <code>$PPID</code>, which is the process id of the parent of the shell. As it happens, the parent is the window containing the zsh instance. This is actually pretty consistent across most terminals. The only problem was if you launched zsh from another shell since your new zsh's parent will now be another zsh instance instead of an X window.</p>
|
|
|
+<p>At first glance, launching zsh within zsh doesn't seem like something most people would do, but this is what happens when you run screen or tmux. To work around this, we can actually just save the original <code>$PPID</code> in a different variable and use that instead.</p>
|
|
|
+<p>Now that we have the PID of the window from zsh, we can once again use xdotool to get the PID of the current active window with <code>xdotool getactivewindow getwindowpid</code>. We just simply compare that with our <code>$PPID</code> and we can tell if we're in an active window or not. Overall, this approach worked surprisingly well so that's the final solution I went with.</p></div></description><category>programming</category><guid>http://pleasantprogrammer.com/posts/is-my-terminal-window-active.html</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2015 08:20:45 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Removing PLDTMyDSLBiz from the ZyXEL P-2612HNU</title><link>http://pleasantprogrammer.com/posts/removing-pldtmydslbiz-from-the-zyxel-p-2612hnu.html</link><dc:creator>Thomas Dy</dc:creator><description><div><p>I've always thought that people were just too lazy to change their SSIDs when I see "PLDTMyDSLBizCafeJapan".

|
|
|
<p>This is not the kind of thing you expect as a business customer. Even for home customers, I feel it's still a bit dishonest. I'd be fine if it was just the default SSID, but forcing people to have it as part of their SSID is like advertising that your company (I mean PLDT) is a douche.</p>
|
|
|
<p>Of course, we couldn't just leave the SSID prefix there, so we tried a number of things to get rid of it. There are articles for removing it from the <a href="http://www.phandroidinternet.com/2013/06/how-to-remove-on-wifi-name-or-ssid-on.html">Prolink H5004N</a> or the <a href="http://www.symbianize.com/showthread.php?t=730091">ZyXEL P-660HN-T1A</a> but not for the one we got which was the ZyXEL P-2612HNU-F1F.</p>
|
|
|
<p>We did still try the firebug/inspector tricks, but it seems that there is a server-side check that adds in the "PLDTMyDSLBiz". We tried a number of things, but the one that ultimately worked (and we had a good laugh about) was to backup the configuration, edit the dumped file and restore it.</p>

<p>We also don't know if the jeeps or buses strictly follow the distance-based scheme. After all, if you can get on and off anywhere, you can't really measure distance that exactly. I assume they generally work off the notion of "zones" than actual distance travelled. In that sense, they work more similarly to the LRT which has fares based on how many stops you pass. For jeeps and buses, your fare is probably based more on how many "zones" you pass through.</p>

<h4>Conclusion</h4>
|
|
|
<p>Philip, a co-worker of mine at By Implication, had suggested that we might want to use a different model than what the GTFS proposes. I have to agree with him. At this point, the GTFS doesn't really fit with our system. But I do think that open data and standards are great. In fact, I applaud the developers who made proposals for the fare system, as those are great first steps towards making the GTFS a more universal standard.</p>

It would be nice if they had a devblog.</p></div></description><category>philippine-transit-app</category><category>programming</category><guid>http://pleasantprogrammer.com/posts/fare-data.html</guid><pubDate>Sat, 13 Jul 2013 13:15:09 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>GTFS Editor</title><link>http://pleasantprogrammer.com/posts/gtfs-editor.html</link><dc:creator>Thomas Dy</dc:creator><description><div><p>Link: <a href="https://github.com/conveyal/gtfs-editor">https://github.com/conveyal/gtfs-editor</a></p>

-<p><strong>TL;DR</strong> they really meant under development</p>
|
|
|
-<p>When I first saw the source of GTFS Editor, I was ecstatic. They used <a href="http://playframework.com/">Play framework</a>!!! Not only that, they're targeting PostgreSQL as the main database. Those are our favorite tools for building webapps at By Implication. I was a bit sad though, when I saw it was on the 1.x release of Play though. I did have some experience with that release, but not as much compared to 2.x.</p>
|
|
|
-<p>Getting it to actually run though, wasn't very pleasant. The initial setup was easy enough. Get <a href="http://www.playframework.com/download">Play 1.2.5</a>, install Postgres with PostGIS, clone the repo and create backing database in Postgres. Some minor additional steps you need are to create the PostGIS extension on the database. The schema is automatically generated and applied by Play so that should be all that's necessary. Wonderful. Then, run play, open a browser, go to <a href="http://localhost:9000">http://localhost:9000</a>, compilation error. Fantastic.</p>

-<h3>Let's Debug!</h3>
|
|
|
-<p>I'll be splitting the next section up into 2 parts. In the first pass, I'll talk about what I did to just get the app to run but I won't try hard to fix any bugs. This generally is what I do when I try to get apps to run. I'll also be dropping enough information so that you can actually figure out what the real problem is. In the second pass, I'll explain what the problems were and how I fixed them.</p>
|
|
|
-<h4>First Pass</h4>
|
|
|
-<p>A thing to note about Play (and one of the reasons it's a lovely Java framework) is that you don't need to do manual compilation. Just edit some source files, refresh your browser and it will automatically do the compilation for you. One less argument for using PHP. It even shows you (in the browser!) the source and which line of code caused the compilation error. So that's what I saw, <code>Error: type Check already defined</code></p>

-<p>You also know that typical behavior among programmers where your program doesn't compile, but you keep trying to compile it anyway hoping that it will magically just work. That's what I did, and it actually ran. I couldn't really just let this pass, so I decided to try deleting <code>Check.java</code>. I got another compilation error, <code>Error: type Secure already defined</code></p>

|

-
|
|
|
-<p>At that point, I just decided to just debug it later. It works by just forcing it anyway. So I put <code>Check.java</code> back in and proceeded to just refresh until it compiled and ran.</p>
|
|
|
-<p>The next problem is a sort of common thing most webapp developers have to solve one way or another. How do you set up the initial admin account? Phrased a different way, how do I login to this thing? The first thing I tried was just add a user into the <code>account</code> table directly. One problem though was how to set the password correctly. Plaintext obviously wouldn't work.</p>
|
|
|
-<p>Another note regarding Play 1.x, it provides the <a href="http://www.playframework.com/documentation/1.2.5/secure">secure module</a> which handles logins and keeping state, you simply need to implement the method <code>boolean authenticate(String username, String password)</code>. It leaves the actual process of verifying the login to the programmer. This can be exploited by just making the method return <code>true</code> and then any login would work. No need to actually set the password. Excellent.</p>
|
|
|
-<p>And we're logged in, just in time to encounter a runtime exception. This also works much like compilation errors in Play. It shows a page with the error and the relevant source lines. Now we get, <code>IndexOutOfBoundsException occured : Index: 0, Size: 0</code></p>

-<p>Apparently, we need to have an agency. That's generally simple enough. You just manually insert an agency into the <code>agency</code> table. After that's done, we finally have a view of the actual application. It's very Bootstrap-y, but that's just fine. The workflow though, is not perfectly intuitive, but I'll talk about that some other day.</p>
|
|
|
-<p>That's not the end of it though, we still have to fix these bugs. The developer obviously didn't have to put up with this when they were working, so what happened? Also, the log is showing some weird things,</p>

-<p>So how did you do? First, the error that <code>type Check already defined</code> usually does mean that <code>Check</code> was already defined elsewhere. Looking in the app folder though, there was nothing of the sort. It's the only one there that was <code>Check.java</code>. But remember the secure module? Modules work by providing source files and Play just compiles them all together. Bingo, <code>Check.java</code>. Doing a diff shows nothing was changed. So the solution really was just simply delete <code>Check.java</code> and also <code>Secure.java</code>. No more compilation errors!</p>

-<p>The next question is, how do you get the initial user? There actually is some code that looks like it creates the default admin user,</p>

-<p>You can actually see this in action at <code>23:32:41,051</code> in the log. So what's wrong with all of this? The account creation happened after I've already logged in. In fact, <code>Security.isConnected()</code> checks whether the user is already logged in or not. How does this even make sense?</p>
|
|
|
-<p>Lastly, we have the problem of the agencies. Just by looking at the log, you can safely say we're missing a file called <code>initial-agencies-data.yml</code>. Ok, apparently it's a <a href="http://www.playframework.com/documentation/1.2.5/test#fixtures">fixture</a> like you would use for testing. It's easy enough to infer what the file's contents should be. We just copy it over from the GTFS data.</p>
|
|
|
-<p>But then where do you put the file? If you look at the log, it says <code>/Users/thomas/.root/opt/play-1.2.5/modules/docviewer/app/initial-agencies-data.yml</code> but that doesn't look right. That's in the Play distribution directory, probably not somewhere something app-specific should go into. Well, a fixture is used for testing, so maybe the <code>test/</code> directory? No, that doesn't work either since we're not running a test.</p>
|
|
|
-<p>What I ended up doing was just looking at the sources for <code>Fixtures.load</code>. If you follow the stack trace, you end up finding <code>Play.javaPath</code> which sort of works like PATH for Fixtures and some other things. So where can we put the file? <code>app/</code> and <code>conf/</code>. And with that, we're done.</p>

|
-<p>GTFS Editor is very much in development. Just getting it to run was problematic. There also seem to be a lot of missing issues judging from the Github Issues page. If you want to try it out for yourself, I suggest you clone <a href="https://github.com/thatsmydoing/gtfs-editor">my branch</a> as I've fixed the issues discussed earlier. The default login is <code>admin:admin</code>.</p>
|
|
|
-<p>Even after getting it to run, it's still not quite usable. Not in the UX sense, but you really can't do much with it. There is no way to import the GTFS data into the webapp. There is something like import from TransitWand but even that is unclear to me. And even if we do get that running as well, we still don't have any data we can play around with. We would need database dumps from the already running tools for these to be of any use right now.</p></div></description><category>lets-debug</category><category>philippine-transit-app</category><category>programming</category><guid>http://pleasantprogrammer.com/posts/gtfs-editor.html</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jul 2013 03:30:01 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>

+<p>Side note: I'd also actually really like to hear about the DOTC developers' experience with the project. It would be nice if they had a devblog.</p></div></description><category>philippine-transit-app</category><category>programming</category><guid>http://pleasantprogrammer.com/posts/fare-data.html</guid><pubDate>Sat, 13 Jul 2013 13:15:09 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
