CodeMirror is an amazing utility for presenting code in a browser environment. Syntax highlighting, widgets, and a number of advanced functions make it a unique, useful tool. When using CodeMirror inside the Firefox DevTools debugger, I found that adding hundreds of column breakpoint widgets...
Replace Last Command in Shell

Download a YouTube Channel’s Videos

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

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...
