Turn Bluetooth On and Off from Command Line on macOS

6.11.2018
Bluetooth has been a revelation in wireless technology: wireless mice, headphones, streaming devices, and a variety of home and office environments.  It goes without saying that wireless peripherals are so much easier to manage than wired counterparts, especially mice, that I usually have...

Get Up and Win

5.11.2018
Down on my hands and knees, I crawl around, bleeding out.  I’m resigned to my fate.  A kind stranger, a new friend, rushes over to me and kneels to help, reviving me at a time that didn’t require it.  Just as I’m revived, the kind stranger says “Get up and win”.  I...

Lessons in Failure: Removing the Old Debugger from Firefox

29.10.2018
Joining the Firefox DevTools team was a dream come true for me.  I shared why in the first episode of the Script & Style show but the quick summary is that I grew up loving Firefox (even before it was called “Firefox”) because Mozilla cared about developers via their early developer...

Mercurial: Mass Add and Remove All Files

29.10.2018
While I much prefer git and the GitHub workflow, Firefox’s codebase (mozilla-central) is store in a mercurial repository.  There are tools that wrap mercurial so you can use a git-like interface, like git-cinnabar, but my philosophy is to learn the root tool so that I know what’s going...

Change Mac Brightness from Command Line

24.10.2018
Earlier this week I posted about how you can modify your Mac’s volume from command line.  Little command line scripts make me smile because I spend so much of my day in command line, and automation can be the key to productivity.  I next thought about modifying brightness from command line...

Find and Change Default App for File Type from Command Line

23.10.2018
There are few things more frustrating to any computer user than files opening in an unwanted application.  Sure you can use the Open menu item in the desired application but we all just want to double-click a file and see it open in the application we expect.  I recently got to thinking about this...

Real-time Geolocation & Reverse IP Lookup with ipapi (Sponsored)

22.10.2018
There’s an incredible amount you can do when you know where your web visitor is located.  You can target advertising to the user, you can load maps of nearby search queries, you can localize website verbiage, you can customize content for their region, etc.  I guess what I’m trying...

What does Stack Overflow want to be when it grows up?

22.10.2018
I sometimes get asked by regular people in the actual real world what it is that I do for a living, and here's my 15 second answer: We built a sort of Wikipedia website for computer programmers to post questions and answers. It's called Stack Overflow. As of last month

Change System Volume from Command Line on Mac OS

15.10.2018
Oftentimes the awesome GUI applications we love are simply gloss over a command line functionality.  While I do love a visual app, it’s always good to know how to do things from command line, if only for the sake of automation.  I’ve covered loads of command line secrets, most notably...

How to Get and Set CSS Variable Values with JavaScript

8.10.2018
CSS variables are a very welcome addition to the language, despite them being incredibly basic.  Sure we could use SASS or stylus but languages should never count on developers relying on frameworks and toolkits to accomplish what we know we need.  And just like every other part of a webpage,...

Team Management with monday.com

25.9.2018
Experimenting with monday.com was an eye-opening experience; I always knew that team management was difficult but it always seemed like you’d need half a dozen pieces of software to bring it all together; think HR, team management, task management, CRM, billing…organization of all...

How to Get Green Blood in PUBG

24.9.2018
My current video game obsession is Player Unknown’s Battleground, also referred to as PUBG.  It’s an online multiplayer game which drops yourself and 99 others into a single, large map and you battle it out until the last man is standing.  It’s frustrating, heart-attack inducing...

Not secure: Chrome a weby na HTTP

30.7.2018
Minulý týden vyšla nová verze Chrome 68, která začala označovat všechny weby na HTTP jako Not secure, česky Nezabezpečeno. Zatím teda jen s šedým (i) v kroužku, bez červeného vykřičníku. Spousta hojně navštěvovaných českých webů ale není připravena. Ukažme si, jak jsme se dostali až sem a co...

The peculiar magic of flexbox and auto margins

27.7.2018
In front-end development, there are often times when I know that I don’t know something. I might know enough to know what CSS to search for, but I have absolutely no idea how to use it or what the right syntax is. Somehow, in my head, there appears to be a filing cabinet that’s entirely empty,...

Stuff you can do with CSS pointer events

27.7.2018
Martijn Cuppens (the same fella with the very weird div!) has some more irresistible CSS trickery. Three of the examples are about making a child element trigger an event on a parent element (almost like the magic that is :focus-within). Here's how I reasoned it out to myself: You know how if...

Sometimes `sizes` is quite important.

27.7.2018
Paraphrased question from email: I just read your article Responsive Images: If you’re just changing resolutions, use srcset. In the age of "responsive websites," srcset does not help in certain situations. For example, I have a popular products slider. On mobile, I have one image per slide where...

Create the Google Button Effect with CSS

27.7.2018
I always found Google’s branding simple but grew to realize that was the beauty in their design; there’s something about “just enough” that is the perfect balance between bland and over the top.  GMail’s design grew old over the years and Google just got around...
