Generate ssl certificates with Subject Alt Names on OSX

Open ssl.conf in a text editor.

Edit the domain(s) listed under the [alt_names] section so that they match the local domain name you want to use for your project, e.g.

DNS.1   = my-project.dev

Additional FQDNs can be added if required:

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest \
| grep "browser_download_url.*deb" \
| cut -d : -f 2,3 \
| tr -d \" \

Let's have some command-line fun with curl, [jq][1], and the [new GitHub Search API][2].

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

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

	function Start-Sleep($seconds) {
	$doneDT = (Get-Date).AddSeconds($seconds)
	while($doneDT -gt (Get-Date)) {
	$secondsLeft = $doneDT.Subtract((Get-Date)).TotalSeconds
	$percent = ($seconds - $secondsLeft) / $seconds * 100
	Write-Progress -Activity "Sleeping" -Status "Sleeping..." -SecondsRemaining $secondsLeft -PercentComplete $percent
	[System.Threading.Thread]::Sleep(500)
	}
	Write-Progress -Activity "Sleeping" -Status "Sleeping..." -SecondsRemaining 0 -Completed
	}

	var EPSILON float64 = 0.00000001
	func floatEquals(a, b float64) bool {
	if ((a - b) < EPSILON && (b - a) < EPSILON) {
	return true
	}
	return false
	}

	# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.

	# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
	# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
