Function Invoke-ElevatedCommand {
	<#
		.DESCRIPTION
			Invokes the provided script block in a new elevated (Administrator) powershell process, 
			while retaining access to the pipeline (pipe in and out). Please note, "Write-Host" output
			will be LOST - only the object pipeline and errors are handled. In general, prefer 
			"Write-Output" over "Write-Host" unless UI output is the only possible use of the information.
			Also see Community Extensions "Invoke-Elevated"/"su"

iOS Background Download Gotchas

I've been doing some thorough investigations into setting up a solid background download process. Here are some of the gotchas I stumbled upon and wanted to capture:

Background Tasks

• Only download and upload tasks are allowed to run in the background (no data tasks)
• Once a download task completes, your app will have to move that task from its temporary location to a permament location (or process the data somehow); The temporary file will be deleted once the URLSession:downloadTask:didFinishDownloadingToURL: delegate method returns.

App Suspension

• If your app is suspended, it will be re-launched whenever a background task completes

Color Workflow Tools

No matter how well organized or spec'ed out a PSD is, there's always that point where you have to manually bring colors from design to code. Here are a few tools that have helped me get a seamless 360° workflow for dealing with colors in OS X.

Alfred 2 Colors Workflow

Amazing workflow by Tyler Eich that allows you to preview, modify and convert colors in a bunch of different color spaces and formats (rgb, hsl, hex, ...). Great if you want to convert those hex values to RGB for CSS.

Directory structure for JavaScript/Node Projects

While the following structure is not an absolute requirement or enforced by the tools, it is a recommendation based on what the JavaScript and in particular Node community at large have been following by convention.

Beyond a suggested structure, no tooling recommendations, or sub-module structure is outlined here.

Directories

• lib/ is intended for code that can run as-is
• src/ is intended for code that needs to be manipulated before it can be used
