Sunday Musing

Scroll to Bottom of Google sheets

I despise having to scroll to bottom of the Google Sheet with large entries. Go to Extentions->Apps Script and add this to the Code.gs file

function onOpen() {
    let ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
    let sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
    sheet.setActiveRange(sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow(),1));
}

Bangladesh Hindus

This is what Donald Trump tweeted on Diwali before US elections

Bangladesh has seen a recent ousting of their prime minister Sheikh Hasina who fled to India. It's interesting that Kamala Harris tweeted no such thing on Bangladesh's Hindus. However, Tulsi Gabbard was more vocal on her tweet on Bangladesh

Movie Picks

Checked out Deadpool 2
It's hilarious with over-the-top action

Favourite Tracks

Recently watching lot of Osho reels

-x: Includes ignored files (those listed in .gitignore).

Samosa trumps over jalebi

My friend asked if I wanted jalebi after work. I said, "Nah, not a fan." He looked at me like I was suddenly grown a into health freak. “Wow, so health-conscious!”

I let him bask in my glory for three seconds before I ruined it. "Let’s get samosas instead. I’m not healthy—I just like my diabetes deep-fried, not sugary."

Saturday Musing

Suppress stdout for commands in Makefile

Let's say I've a Makefile

build:
	./gradlew clean build

If I simply run, I can see commands executed by Makefile

$ make build
./gradlew clean build

However I can suppress command using

$ make -s build

Skipping test in JUnit

Skip a test during the build like

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Disabled;

@Disabled 
public class AppTest {

}

Thursday Musing
