Makes Zsh print a bell when long-running commands finish. I use this in combination with i3 and throw big compile jobs (or whatever it may be) into another workspace to get a nice visual notification (workspace indicator turns red) when it's done so I don't need to waste time regularly checking on it.
#!/usr/bin/env zsh
# This script prints a bell character when a command finishes
# if it has been running for longer than $zbell_duration seconds.
# If there are programs that you know run long that you don't
# want to bell after, then add them to $zbell_ignore.
#
# This script uses only zsh builtins so its fast, there's no needless
# forking, and its only dependency is zsh and its standard modules

Sass vendor helper mixins

If like me you find it frustrating to define the same vendor prefixes over and over again. Sure, you might create mixins that help reduce the amount of repetitiveness but when your mixins file becomes a library (or not) you see so many lines of near-identical code and wonder if there is an easier way.

Say you have this (all-too familiar) mixin:

@mixin border-radius($radius) {
  -webkit-border-radius: $radius;
  -moz-border-radius: $radius;
  -ms-border-radius: $radius;
 -o-border-radius: $radius;

This gist demonstrates how global and local variables work with mixin content blocks in Sass.
$global: one;
@mixin foo {
$local: 1;
$mixin-local: true;
global-before-content: $global;
mixin-local-before-content: $local;
@content;
