Using SCSS and need to set a negative margin with calc on an interpolated variable. Here’s the solution:

.container {
  margin-top: calc((#{$VAR_NAME} + 0px)/-1); // divide by -1 to get a negative result
}

Since I seem to be asked for these frequently, I am putting this here for quick reference, as well as posterity.

ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 0 25px;
  padding: 0;
  
  li {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0 0 0 30px;
    text-indent: -15px;

    &::before {
      content: "• ";
      color: gold; // it's a pretty color
    }
  }
}

In PowerShell run:

To get a list of installed programs:

Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*  | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate | Format-Table -AutoSize > c:\Users\YOUR_USER\Documents\list-installed-programs.txt

To get a list of app store installed programs:

Get-AppxPackage | Select Name, PackageFullName |Format-Table -AutoSize > c:\Users\YOUR_USER\Documents\list-installed-programs.txt

NOTE: Yes, this is all over the internet, but I wanted it here so I could find it faster next time.

As I’ve had use of this in the past I am putting it here for future reference.

PI = (V/1000) * DCD * 43.75

Where:
PI = Pounds of ice required
V = Volume of water in gallons
DCD = Degrees Cooling Desired; Current – Desired temp in °F

Note: Not sure where the 43.75 constant comes from. Will update if/when I find a source.

Note 2: This is of interest and could be used to rework the above formula: http://www.hk-phy.org/contextual/heat/cha/la_he07_e.html

1) Setup SSH jail in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Match User JAILED_USER_NAME
  ForceCommand internal-sftp
  ChrootDirectory /jailed/directory
  AllowTcpForwarding no
  X11Forwarding no

2) Restart SSHD
systemctl restart sshd

3) Test

4) Setup dir share from somewhere else in filesystem using:
mount --bind /jailed/directory /somewhere/else

Remember that path to jailed dir must be owned by root and the share dir must be in a group that is writable by the jailed user. This will also only stick around till the next reboot, if you need something more permanent look into using fstab.

Sometimes web content requires having a long URL which can extend or break the container which encloses it. Chris Coyier saves the day again. Thanks!

.dont-break-out {

  /* These are technically the same, but use both */
  overflow-wrap: break-word;
  word-wrap: break-word;

  -ms-word-break: break-all;
  /* This is the dangerous one in WebKit, as it breaks things wherever */
  word-break: break-all;
  /* Instead use this non-standard one: */
  word-break: break-word;

  /* Adds a hyphen where the word breaks, if supported (No Blink) */
  -ms-hyphens: auto;
  -moz-hyphens: auto;
  -webkit-hyphens: auto;
  hyphens: auto;
