Installing gcc 4.8 and Linuxbrew on CentOS 6

The GCC distributed with CentOS 6 is 4.4.7, which is pretty outdated. I'd like to use gcc 4.8+. Also, when trying to install Linuxbrew you run into a dependency loop where Homebrew's gcc depends on zlib, which depends on gcc. Here's how I solved the problem.

Note: Requires sudo privileges.

Sometimes when working with Git you'd like to commit binary files.
But those files won't have clean comparisons with Git standard diff command.
Fortunately Git is a great tool that comes with a lot of possibilities…

MS Office

If, as a developer, you are under company constraints and must use MS Office,
you'll encounter some issues when trying to diff MS Office files.

Maybe you're asking yourself: what's the problem with that?

How to add an image to a gist

Create or find a gist that you own.

Clone your gist (replace <hash> with your gist's hash):

# with ssh
git clone [email protected]:<hash>.git mygist

# with https

git clone https://gist.github.com/.git mygist

This list has been updated for Big Sur (and later). Since I don't use these versions, this guide might still need further improvements. For older macOS versions, please see this older revision.

	# Mac OS X Lion introduced a new, iOS-like context menu when you press and hold a key
	# that enables you to choose a character from a menu of options. If you are on Lion
	# try it by pressing and holding down 'e' in any app that uses the default NSTextField
	# for input.
	#
	# It's a nice feature and continues the blending of Mac OS X and iOS features. However,
	# it's a nightmare to deal with in Sublime Text if you're running Vintage (Vim) mode,
	# as it means you cannot press and hold h/j/k/l to move through your file. You have
	# to repeatedly press the keys to navigate.
