As we know we don't see scrolls on #OSX Lion and above by default, but sometimes we have to show them to user because of #UX.

We can do it just by adding scroll's styles. For example:

#myelement::-webkit-scrollbar {
  -webkit-appearance: none;
  width: 8px;
}

#myelement::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
  background-color: #eee;
  border-radius: 8px;
}
#myelement::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
  border-radius: 8px;
  background-color: #666;
}

Today I was playing with man program and I discovered how man's colored text is transmitted to the less program.

Note: man doesn't use escape sequences to communicates its colors. More under the cut

I found this description:

An agent is a user-oriented background process that is normally unseen but can present a GUI at need, whereas a daemon is a full background process that never shows any interface.

#osx

In order to create daemon you should create a #plist file, put it into suitable directory and load to launchd. More under the cut

If you want to get a description of your system directory layout:

man hier

#unix, #linux, #OSX

I don't want to write tons of text, just look at my new aliases:

alias .='mvim .'
alias ,='git'

Usually I use one–letter aliases like b for bundle or g for rails generate. I really dislike stuff like gst for git status or rdbm for rails db:migrate: too much letters and no sense (as for me). So, I like my new aliases, they are short enough.

#shell #bash #ruby #osx #unix #linux #zsh #alias #awesome #incredible

If you use Campfire with OS X, you probably use Flint, too. It's awesome, but I really hate those icons (both from the Dock and Menu Bar). More under the cut

As you know, MacOS brings to you a vim without system's clipboard support. If you watch a vi --version, you should see the -clipboard in the output string. This is kind of sad, because I tend to use a console vim, rather then GUI MacVim. All solutions include recompiling a vim from sources, but it's kind of a 'dirty' for me. More under the cut

Spotlight's mdworker will index all files on your #mac.

When you run tests mdworker wakes up and starts index your db files T_T.

For prevent it go to Spotlight Preferences > Privacy, add /var and /usr folders.

Root folders are hidden for basic users, but we can use shortcut ⌘⇧G and write path.

In computing, a TRIM command allows an operating system to inform a solid-state drive (#SSD) which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be wiped internally. source

If you are a #mac user install trim enabler from trim-enabler and feel the speed :)

(Actually I haven't felt yet but I am waiting for it).

Here is the gem terminal-notifier.

TerminalNotifier.notify "Message...", title: "Title"

You can add, remove and list notifications. All what you need :)
