Computed properties don't call specialized version of functions? Work fine when you call the specialized functions directly but not when those functions are used within a getter or setter it seems… ???

@chunkyguy on twitter said they were facing a similar challenge to one I was facing, but their challenge actually seemed a little different and potentially easier. So I explored their challenge and created this solution.

GeekAndDad / Move Safari Windows UP.scpt

Last active November 18, 2021 05:15

Code for a blog post about a silly AppleScript to move Safari windows back up after a bug in Safari moves them down on wake from sleep sometimes. The post is here: https://geekanddad.wordpress.com/?p=2161. This script moves all Safari windows up the same amount to keep their relative positioning and moves them up as much as possible while still …

	-- Put in the public domain with zero warranty of any kind
	--
	-- only tested on macOS 11.6, with Safari 13.0; ymmv

	use scripting additions

	tell application "Safari"
	set windlist to windows

	log "Examining " & length of windlist & " windows..."

GeekAndDad / EjectDrives.scpt

Last active December 3, 2024 12:10

AppleScript to eject mounted local disks. Written for when I'm going to take my laptop off my desk and am disconnecting from my TB hub.

	-- AppleScript I wrote to eject mounted USB disks before I disconnect my USB-C hub.
	-- Notes:
	-- this will halt a time machine backup to a locally mounted
	-- drive when it tries to eject it.
	-- will also halt a time machine backup to a network destination.
	-- tested in macOS 11.6 (2021.11.19)
	-- License: MIT

	tell application "System Events"
	set ds to get disks

Playground to test parsing. Is there simpler way to do this?

	import Parsing

	/// simple test.
	/// First char must exist and must be a char from a to z
	/// Followed by zero or more characters from a to z or 0 to 9
	/// Must end with a space or be the end of input
	///
	let validFirstChars = CharacterSet(charactersIn: "a"..."z")
	let validFollowingChars = CharacterSet(charactersIn: "0"..."9").union(validFirstChars)
