InDesign Image Catalog for multiple folders at once (and multiple folders per page). Created for school yearbook projects (one folder per class, two classes per page) but could be adapted for other use cases where you want to lay out contact sheets of multiple folders automatically.
/**
* Custom Image Catalog script that runs for all subfolders in a selected folder.
* Lays out each folder of images in the specified number of rows and columns, 2 folders per page, shows an alert if there's more images than allowed for,
* labels each group with the folder name, creates paragraph styles for the captions and group headings, and saves the file.
*
* Based on the built-in Image Catalog script but modified and simplified (e.g. hard-coding the settings) for my use case.
* Could be modified to suit different numbers of folders per page, different image quantities etc by changing the settings at the top
* and making tweaks to other code as needed.
*
* Could also be extended to show one dialog for settings prior to the loop,

Change umask based on working directory #zsh #direnv

Default umaks on macOS is 0077, which is different with most Linux distributions.

There're pros and cons about this very decision made by Apple. For the good part, temporary files generate under /tmp, $TMPDIR are accessible by the user himself only. These locations could be alternatives to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.

While, the problem is that since the new files are accessible by yourself only, it's inconvenient to share files with other users.

It's easy to change umask globally with a LauchAgent, or change it for shells

func partition(v: Int[], left: Int, right: Int) -> Int {
var i = left
for j in (left + 1)..(right + 1) {
if v[j] < v[left] {
i += 1
(v[i], v[j]) = (v[j], v[i])

How to create popup footnotes in iBooks which degrade well for other EPUB3 readers
The only requirements for popup footnotes in iBooks are:
* Ebook has to be an EPUB3
* epub:type "noteref" and "footnote"
So you can link to a totally separate document, as you normally would for endnotes,
but include the attributes so the <a> link behaves differently in iBooks, instead triggering the popup.
Original reference link would look something like this (in a file called ch001.html):
<a epub:type="noteref" href="footnote.html#note1">1</a></div>

Convert OS X Keychain exported entries into logins for 1Password import
These two files should help you to import passwords from mac OS X keychains to 1password.
Assumptions:
1) You have some experience with scripting/are a power-user. These scripts worked for me
but they haven't been extensively tested and if they don't work, you're on your own!
Please read this whole document before starting this process. If any of it seems
incomprehensible/frightening/over your head please do not use these scripts. You will
probably do something Very Bad and I wouldn't want that.
2) You have ruby 1.9.2 installed on your machine. This comes as standard with Lion, previous
versions of OS X may have earlier versions of ruby, which *may* work, but then again, they
