Replace Last Command in Shell

26.11.2018
Whether I fat-finger a command or my MacBook Pro keyboard’s keys don’t want to respond like they should, I’m frequently misspelling commands.  What’s more frustrating is that many of these commands are long, taking making fixing theme time-consuming. Luckily a Twitter...

Object.fromEntries

9.11.2018
The Object object has been buffed with useful methods over the past few years.  Object.keys, Object.values, Object.freeze, and Object.assign all address frequently desired functionality.  One of the new Object methods is fromEntries, which accepts a Map or map-like array nesting and converts it...

Download a YouTube Channel’s Videos

7.11.2018
YouTube is an endless source of entertainment, be it stuff you’re proud to share you like or stuff you would rather others not know about (see: David’s history of watching old WWE Royal Rumbles).  I watch a lot of YouTube in hotels and on flights when I don’t have internet access...

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...

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...

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 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...

Teaching Your Clients How to Use The Website You Built Them

27.7.2018
I share my own thoughts on how you might go about educating someone you just built a site for. But it turns out I had a lot of fun putting together a ton of other people's thoughts as well. I tweeted about it and got a flood of responses, so this article is an amalgamation of all that. Direct...

Search Git Commits Between Dates

12.7.2018
One of my weaknesses as a developer is relying on UIs to provide me the data I need.  It’s not a fatal weakness but it does hamper me a bit.  One prime example is relying on GitHub’s interface to review changes; git’s command line provides the information needed with commands...

Writing Good Support Requests

2.7.2018
My take on trying to be helpful to a support staff. One bit is just as relevant for learning development: Writing out a ticket will help you figure out the problem. Sometimes when you have to take a second to collect your thoughts and explain something, the problem will become clear and maybe even...

8 Effective Design Tips for Offline Applications

27.6.2018
With the seeming massive adoption of web applications, design systems to support this adoption get better. While the internet is abound in certain areas, connectivity could be limited or non-existe

Count Frames in an Animated GIF

26.6.2018
The animated GIF always makes me chuckle; on one hand they seem like a relic of the “old web”, on the other hand they aren’t going anywhere and their meme-like presence seem to only make them more popular.  If you browse through my media blog posts archives, you’ll notice...

Show FPS for Steam Games

18.6.2018
There’s nothing more frustrating to a top gamer (outside of bugs in a game) than dropped frames in a video game.  If you’re playing a competitive multiplayer game like PUBG or Fortnite, where up to 100 people are simultaneously competing, dropped frames can be the difference between...

8 Emmet Tips You Might Not Know

8.6.2018
Emmet (who remembers when it was called Zen Coding?) is a very useful code editor tool that brings snippets and supercharged shortcuts for generating HTML/markup and
