Welcome to the much delayed Holy Dev newsletter, which brings you gems I found on the web, updates from my blog, and a few scattered thoughts. You can get the next one into your mailbox if you subscribe.What is happeningLife happened so I wasn’t able to publish the April & May issues until today. I has been tough time, but I have learned to enjoy all the small pleasures of everyday life.I had to reset my 3 years old Mac to try to make it less slow when Zooming, and took the opportunity to test and describe my computer setup - the tools I use and the procedures in place to back it up and restore / set up from scratch.I also finally got more into working on the Clojure - Wolfram bridge, Wolframite, as you can read in its log. There is essentially just one issue remaining before we can release v1, and we know how to solve it. Thomas does an awesome job discovering ways to make it ever more convenient for real-world users.Finally, I got sucked into reviving my Chromium addon Testofill, the Form Filler for Testers. (Coming soon!) Started originally 10 years ago, it is using outdated APIs and addon manifest version that are being sunset. I took the opportunity to clean it up a bit, and to address a matter that has bothered me for a long time - the very broad permissions it need(ed) to work. Along the way, I have recorded a short demonstration of the addon to explain it better to potential users. Sadly, all my subsequent work has made it outdated, so I will have to redo it 😅.
