grodtron / recolor.bash
Created May 13, 2012 22:11
A bash/ImageMagick script to recolor transparent .png files
#!/bin/bash
# A small script to change the color of mono-colored transparent .pngs
#
# Uses ImageMagick to read the most common 100% alpha color and then computes
# scale factors to multiply the whole image by.
#
# Improvements to be made:
# -deal with images containing pure black.
# -make portable between new and old ImageMagick versions

Using ServiceStack* together with Reactive Extensions** to reduce the latency before the client can start processing the elements of an array response. The service sends elements to the client as soon as they become available through the magic of AsyncServiceBase, IStreamWriter, IObservable<T>.ToEnumerable() and careful use of WriteLine() and Fl…

Your goals are to reduce the number of things that you have to keep in your head at any given moment, and to rely as little as possible on your own ability to consistently do things right.
If you make a thing immutable ('let' in swift), you never have to think about what happens if it changes, or what other parts of the code you'll effect if you change it.
If you split complex functions into several smaller functions that only interact by passing arguments or getting return values, then you limit the amount of code you need to consider when hunting for a bug, and you can test each small piece separately.
If you understand what things must be true in your code (aka invariants, for example "a person's age must be greater than 0"), and either provide no function that can cause them to be untrue, or check and crash immediately when they're untrue, then you don't have to debug issues caused by incorrect assumptions.
If you remove possibilities (for example, Swift removes the possibility of things being nil unless

Declare on your main init that all other init methods should call. It's a nice additional semantic warning. Works with Xcode 5.1 and above. Not tested with earlier variants, but should just be ignored.

This is a guard that tracks down UIKit access on threads other than main. This snippet is taken from the commercial iOS PDF framework http://pspdfkit.com, but relicensed under MIT. Works because a lot of calls internally call setNeedsDisplay or setNeedsLayout. Won't catch everything, but it's very lightweight and usually does the job.You might n…

A simple way to detect at runtime if we're running in UIKit legacy mode or the new "flat" variant. Written for our PDF iOS SDK (http://pspdfkit.com), where the precompiled binary needs to detect at runtime in what variant it's running. Want more stuff like that?
