I am using Terminal iTerm2 regularly, on fullscreen. So whenever I want to check the remaining battery level, I have to put my fingers on the touchpad, away from the cozy home row (hjkl), swipe up, wait a couple of milliseconds, read the battery and then, back to work. 

This is not comfortable at all. And, obviously, I should always keep in mind to check the battery level this way. So anyway, there’s a simple solution: let’s show the remaining percentage in my prompt. It’s no big deal, many people have already done it.

What they didn’t do is, showing this information with the least space required. Let’s say, one character for this purpose. It’s doable. 

My script only shows the tenths of the remaining percentage and its color depends on the ones, with the accuracy of +/- 2%. That’s pretty good for me.

So here’s my script:

 https://www.hackerrank.com offers loads of well written problems but sometimes, not surprisingly, it takes some advanced math knowledge.

 While I was having a break, I thought it'd worth a try to ask Google, the Almighty how could I go further...

So their suggestions are...

I'm getting sick of those sites where I can't delete my profile. These are my data! The world has serious issues with privacy. Yes I know I was the one who have clicked on "I accept" button. But do we really have a choice here? And even if we have had, couldn't we ever change our minds, it was a decision that never expires?

Sometimes we have to use several services just to live our everyday lives. Keeping touch with classmates, coworkers, relatives who live far away, or even just being a member of an online community (in my case, github). Via using github, I have to use gravatar. But when I want to use gravatar I also have to use WordPress.   So ok, let's use gravatar because I cannot just simply upload an image. Without a picture, any profile look like unfinished and making bad impressions. It never looks professional otherwise.

Issue #1: Gravatar took like 10 minutes to proceed that I accepted its access request to my wordpress account. During these 10 minutes all I've seen is an error message that said I haven't activated my account. Duh. There wasn't any option to do that! I reseted my password like 3 times when suddenly, it worked. 

 Issue #2: During those 10 minutes I also wanted to delete my wordpress account and re-register. Haha, good joke, dude, you don't own your data anymore. You just cannot delete your wordpress account. You accepted our terms, remember? (no, not really)

 Issue #3: I don't have the slightest idea where can I add my github page (or even my wordpress page) to my accepted services on gravatar.

 Let me make a modest but reasonable assumption here: I guess gravatar has been made for the sake of simplicity. You'll just add your prospective profile photos to only one single webpage and there you could manage where you want, and which photos. LOL. It just made it way more messier.   And it's wordpress dependency is just a privacy horror. I don't want to use any service where I have to disclaim my rights on my own personal data. But can I really avoid these sites?

Ok, so I got really bored tonight so decided to finally start building something I wanted a while ago and that is, a StarCraft 2 replay analyzer. 

  I opened a replay file with Xcode as a Hex but couldn't really observe any meaningful pattern (not even timestamps! they are not encoded in iMessaging, I was hoping at least I could find them. Well, nope)  Anyway, after like an hour of massive googling, I found this. Thank you, whoever you are!
