Subversion Your What Now?

Been reading on people adding their home directories to Subversion.

I'm still scratching my head over this one. Currently I zip up the config files that I want to keep backed up and store them on my personal server. I don't quite get why someone would have the need to subversion their home directory for config purposes. Well I take that back, I suppose if someone wanted to distribute their settings out to a ton of people yeah they could do that. For example a .bashrc file that you want all of your students in a class, or all of your coworkers to have the same functions etc. Yeah I could see where that could be useful. But for day to day things? I don't see a need for it.

Of course it could change someday, but for now. Nope.

Suicidal Ideation

 Over the years I've had to deal with suicidal ideation. Those are thoughts of being dead, some more extreme than others. It causes issues for me a lot of the time.

Experiencing suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you’re going to kill yourself, but it can be a warning sign.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Get Yesterday's Date

Here's an easy method to return yesterday's date: import java.time.LocalDateTime; public class DoIt { public static void main(String[] args) { LocalDateTime yesterday = LocalDateTime.now().minusDays(1); System.out.println(yesterday); } } As you can see it's quite straight forward and simple. You just minus the number of days you wish to get. You can do this on a LocalDate or a LocalDateTime object. From there you can do whatever you want with your past date.
