brew is a bad neighbor

This isn't a guide about locking down homebrew so that it can't touch the rest of your system security-wise.

This guide doesn't fix the inherent security issues of a package management system that will literally yell at you if you try to do something about "huh, maybe it's not great my executables are writeable by my account without requiring authorization first".

But it absolutely is a guide about shoving it into its own little corner so that you can take it or leave it as you see fit, instead of just letting the project do what it likes like completely taking over permissions and ownership of a directory that might be in use by other software on your Mac and stomping all over their contents.

By following this guide you will:

• Never have to run sudo to forcefully change permissions of some directory to be owned by your account

Introduction

A JSON compilation database is a very handy output format which is parsed and used by many development tools. Unfortunately for us Apple Developers, it is not straightforward to generate one from within Xcode, as it is (probably) not Apple's priority and therefore there is no toggle/switch/setting that can be easily enabled to get this information.

There is however a solution, thanks to Apple using Clang/LLVM as their main toolchain.

Implementation

The standard way to generate this with clang would be to use the -MJ flag and give it a file name that typically corresponds to the input file. Using this flag indirectly through Xcode is hard, given that we're not aware of all the other arguments when a compiler call is executed.

However, there is a second hidden/badly documented LLVM flag: -gen-cdb-fragment-path - it is implemented in terms of -MJ and has the same functionality, but it's argument in contrast is an output directory.

The newer versions of bash (>= 3.0) include a regex operator =~

Simple example

$ re='t(es)t'
$ [[ "test" =~ $re ]]
$ echo $?
0
$ echo ${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
es

Using <details> in GitHub

Suppose you're opening an issue and there's a lot noisey logs that may be useful.

Rather than wrecking readability, wrap it in a <details> tag!

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent
