Media/function keys on K780

K780 doesn't have a hard switch to lock the function keys. Logitech provides a utility to do this on Windows and iOS but not on Linux. You need to manually remap the keys.

Below works for Arch Linux, other systemd based distros should be about the same.

There's a problem with the F1-F3 keys as they're hardware specific and don't emit an event if pressed on their own and therefore can't be remapped. I might be wrong as I haven't spend any time on researching that.

Edit: about htat, see @tangruize comments below https://gist.github.com/andrejcremoznik/e56234138305226abd41fe4d1d2561a3#gistcomment-3390489

Recently CSS has got a lot of negativity. But I would like to defend it and show, that with good naming convention CSS works pretty well.

My 3 developers team has just developed React.js application with 7668 lines of CSS (and just 2 !important). During one year of development we had 0 issues with CSS. No refactoring typos, no style leaks, no performance problems, possibly, it is the most stable part of our application.

Here are main principles we use to write CSS for modern (IE11+) browsers:

SUIT CSS naming conventions + SUIT CSS design principles;
PostCSS + CSSNext. Future CSS syntax like variables, nesting, and autoprefixer are good enough;
Flexbox is awesome. No need for grid framework;
Normalize.css, base styles and variables are solid foundation for all components;

Browser histories

Unless you are using Safari on OSX, most browsers will have some kind of free plugin that you can use to export the browser's history. So that's probably the easiest way. The harder way, which seems to be what Safari wants is a bit more hacky but it will also work for other browsers. Turns out that most of them, including Safari, have their history saved in some kind of sqlite database file somewhere in your home directory.

The OSX Finder cheats a little bit and doesn't show us all the files that actually exist on our drive. It tries to protect us from ourselves by hiding some system and application-specific files. You can work around this by either using the terminal (my preferred method) or by using the Cmd+Shft+G in Finder.

Once you locate the file containing the browser's history, copy it to make a backup just in case we screw up.

OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

Disable:

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist

Enable:

sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist

	# In order for gpg to find gpg-agent, gpg-agent must be running, and there must be an env
	# variable pointing GPG to the gpg-agent socket. This little script, which must be sourced
	# in your shell's init script (ie, .bash_profile, .zshrc, whatever), will either start
	# gpg-agent or set up the GPG_AGENT_INFO variable if it's already running.

	# Add the following to your shell init to set up gpg-agent automatically for every shell
	if [ -f ~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info ] && [ -n "$(pgrep gpg-agent)" ]; then
	source ~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info
	export GPG_AGENT_INFO
	else
