Today I learned about the -v flag for grep. The -v, or --invert-match, flag, returns all lines that do not match your regular expression.

A Simply Awesome Markup Language
Submitted by John Bickar on April 1, 2016 - 12:01 am
The modern web developer has a variety of markup languages available for use in different contexts: XML, HTML, YAML, Markdown - the list goes on and on. Yet each has its limitation(s), whether that be performance, readability, or ease-of-use.

Drupal 8 REST Requests
Submitted by John Bickar on February 2, 2016 - 8:25 am
In November, 2015, the Stanford Web Services team got to dive into Drupal 8 during a weeklong sprint. I was excited to look at the RESTful web services that Drupal 8 gives out-of-the-box; what follows is my documentation of the various types of requests supported, required headers, responses, and response codes.
This is not intended to be an exhaustive documentation of RESTful web services in Drupal 8. However, I have pulled information from various posts around the Web, and my own experimentation, into this post.
