Stuff I wish I'd known sooner about service workers

I recently had several days of extremely frustrating experiences with service workers. Here are a few things I've since learned which would have made my life much easier but which isn't particularly obvious from most of the blog posts and videos I've seen.

I'll add to this list over time – suggested additions welcome in the comments or via twitter.com/rich_harris.

Use Canary for development instead of Chrome stable

Chrome 51 has some pretty wild behaviour related to console.log in service workers. Canary doesn't, and it has a load of really good service worker related stuff in devtools.

Unlock Pesky System Preference Pane Lockdown

Note, you're local mac account must have sudo privs for this to work. If you're in the same boat I'm in, there is some piece of management software (e.g. casper) installed on your system that removes access to system preference panes when you login (to a domain).

In my case, the "Security and Privacy" pane was removed by a network admin for I'm sure they believed to be very important reasons, but this prevents me from using my window management tool (BetterSnapTool).

On to the steps

In this example, I'm unlocking the "Security and Privacy" pane. You will need to substitue your locked panes plist below.
