How to use 1Password and 2FA with eTrade

IMPORTANT!
As of May 17, 2020, python-vipaccess stopped working for provisioning new Symantec VIP Access tokens (which was its raison d'être).
As of May 27, 2020, it's working again.
It might stop working again. and we might not be able to get it to work again (see #39)

Note: Your password cannot be more than 26 characters for you to use 2FA in general. eTrade makes you enter your 2FA code appened to your password to login and limits the length of password input to 32 characters, thus further restricting the maximum length of your actual password.

Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export your tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.

Hexadecimal color code for transparency

How to set transparency with hex value ?

For example, you want to set 40% alpha transparence to #000000 (black color), you need to add 66 like this #66000000.

All hex value from 100% to 0% alpha:

Fast/efficient approach:

-- execute("UPDATE posts SET comments_count = (SELECT count(1) FROM comments WHERE comments.post_id = posts.id)")
   -> 1.3197s

Slow/naïve approach:

juliarose

module Color
    def self.to_hex(c) # convert decimal to hex
        n = c.to_i.to_s(16)
        n = '0' + n unless n.length > 1 # 2 characters
        n
    end
    
    def self.to_dec(c) # convert hex to decimal
        c.to_i(16)
    end

O-I

One of the many reasons I love working with Ruby is it has a rich vocabulary that allows you to accomplish your goals with a minimal amount of code. If there isn't a method that does exactly what you want, it's usually possible to build an elegant solution yourself.

Let's take the example of simulating the rolling of a die.

We can represent a die as an array of its faces.

die = [*?⚀..?⚅]
# => ["⚀", "⚁", "⚂", "⚃", "⚄", "⚅"]

# In config.rb
def get_locals(category, total_pages, i, articles, total_articles)
  prev_page = false

  # Is the a previous page and if so what does it look like
  if (i - 1) == 1
    prev_page = "/blog/categories/#{category}"
  elsif (i - 1) > 1
    prev_page = "/blog/categories/#{category}/page/#{i-1}"
  end
