A lot of people are having issues with com.apple.IconServicesAgent. Since this is a very new issue, Google was no help and `man iconservicesd` is even more hilarious. I eventually fixed it, when I was working on a completely different issue (that is still not fixed). The instructions are below and on the Apple Support Forum, https://discussions.…

I was chasing down another issue (slow "Save As") and thought these two issues may have been related (with QuickLook being the common broken link). Unfortunately, my "Save As" dialog is still miserably slow on the initial load; but IconServicesAgent hasn't gone above 30MB and he rarely makes an appearance in the Console!

Some of these steps may not be necessary, but here are all of the steps I took that inadverdently put IconServicesAgent back in its place. Note: all commands are a single-line, if they appear to be multiple that's just the forum formatting.

  1. Check for any QuickLooks related .plist files. In a terminal: mdfind com.apple.quicklook. -name .plist

  2. I only had files at the system level (specifically within /System/Library/LaunchAgents/). If you have others, modify the directions below to take that into account (re-introducing plist files from the system level back up to the user).

  3. Make some temporary directories to store these plist files, just in case: mkdir ~/tmp-quicklook

Bare minimum Chrome extension to inject a JS file into the given page when you click on the browser action icon. The script then inserts a new div into the DOM.
// this is the background code...
// listen for our browerAction to be clicked
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function (tab) {
// for the current tab, inject the "inject.js" file & execute it
chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab.ib, {
file: 'inject.js'
});
});

Really simple wget spider to obtain a list of URLs on a website, by crawling n levels deep from a starting page.
#!/bin/bash

wget -r --spider --delete-after --force-html -D "$DOMAINS" -l $DEPTH "$HOME" 2>&1 \

How to enable source maps for your browser.

How to enable source maps

Source mapping is a technique that "maps" your browser inspector's line numbers to the source file. This is useful when working with assets that are compiled from LESS, SASS, Coffeescript and so on. Source maps can also be used with minified assets that would normally have their line numbers removed. If you're curious, here's some more information regarding source maps.

Chrome

  1. Open Developer Tools.
    • Mac users: View > Developer > Developer Tools.
  2. Click the Settings cog icon in the upper-right corner of the Developer Tools window.
  3. Under the Sources section, check the box(es) for the source maps you want to enable.

Last active April 26, 2022 09:36
Converting a folder full of markdown files, each linking to each other ... convert those files to HTML, and convert the relative links to point to the new html files. Add code highlighting with highlight.js . Finally serve up the result as a static web site.
Converting md files to html w/highlighting
0a) Create a root directory to pull in all the repos
0b) Recursively clone or pull each repo
$> git clone <repo_url> | git pull on the existing repos
0c) Create a TOC index.html file for the root folder
$> echo '<head>' >> index.html
$> echo '' >> index.html
$> echo '</head>' >> index.html
$> echo '<body>' >> index.html
$> ls >> temp.html
