# An example of how to only run `npm install` only when package.json or package-lock.json
# have changed. This might be helpful for situation where you run `npm install` every time
# and app or service lauches (e.g. for local development), but the install takes a long time.
#
# This approach creates a tracking file called `make_installed`. Whenever `npm install` is
# invoked, this file is touched. If the file is newer then the modification date on either
# package.json or package-lock.json then no installation is done. If it is older, 
# then installation is done.
# 
# This also works with git. When you checkout a previous commit the modification date for

// Swift has the somewhat unusual const array semntatics in that a
// const array can still have its individual elements changed. I was thinking if there
// was a way to get the const behavior that one might expect, i.e. in a const array
// not only is the length of an array fixed, but also all of its elements.
//
// Here is my attempt:

struct ConstArray<T> {
    var array: Array<T> = []
    init(array: Array<T>) {

I run into UNC paths fairly often and they can be a pain to deal with on OS X. So I wrote a little text service action that helps with this problem.

After you set this up, you will be able to highlight any text in a text field, right click and have the text converted from a UNC path to a smb:// style URL. This is especially helpful when using these in Finder with the Go -> Connect to Server dialog box.

To use this:

1. Open Automator
2. Select File -> New
3. For the document type, choose "Service"
4. Add the "Run Shell Script" action
