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...

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...

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...

Build Firefox Faster with Artifact Builds

26.7.2018
Working on Firefox DevTools has always been a dream of mine, mostly because it feels like the ultimate way to give back to the development community and those that helped me become a success.  And when I explain who Mozilla is and people ask “Oh, so you work on Firefox?!”, I can finally...

Realtime Cryptocurrency Rates API with coinlayer

24.7.2018
Last year when cryptocurrencies were gaining massively in value each month, I badly wanted to create a personal web project which would let me quickly buy and sell crypto outside of brokers like Coinbase; the problem I ran into was not having a reliable API for doing so.  I recently discovered...

8 Digit Hex Colors

16.7.2018
One of the most requested capabilities in my early days of web development was the ability to set opacity on elements and even PNG images without the need for browser-specific CSS or hacks.  Eventually we got native opacity support and even enjoyed rgba(), the ability to cite an opacity level with...

Script & Style Show: Episode 15: CSP with Scott Helme

14.7.2018
In this episode:  Todd dials in from a poppin’ KCDC while David dials in with a massive headache.  Scott Helme dials in from lovely Manchester to discuss web security, specifically the criminally underused CSP API.  Join us to learn what CSP is, why it’s important, how it works,...

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...

Delivering WordPress in 7KB

10.7.2018
Over the past six months, I've become increasingly interested in the topic of web sustainability. The carbon footprint of the Internet was not something I used to give much thought to, which is surprising considering my interest in environmental issues and the fact that my profession...
