Increase OSX "Recent Places

Increase the number of "Recent Places" that OSX shows in save dialogs. This allows you to quickly save files without having to dig through nested folders.

  1. Open your terminal and run defaults write .GlobalPreferences NSNavRecentPlacesLimit -int 10 && killall Finder
  2. OSX will now save 10, instead of the default. You won't see it take effect right away, but only after you save 5 more things.
  3. Enjoy your better life.

Clojure Does Objects Better

Clojure does Objects Better

A hopefully short and concise explanation as to how Clojure deals with Objects. If you already write Clojure, this isn't for you.

You know what an Interface is if you write/read Java or PHP 5+. In Clojure it might be called defprotocol.

user> (defprotocol IABC
        (also-oo [this])
        (another-fn [this x]))

IABC

How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

One of the best ways to reduce complexity (read: stress) in web development is to minimize the differences between your development and production environments. After being frustrated by attempts to unify the approach to SSL on my local machine and in production, I searched for a workflow that would make the protocol invisible to me between all environments.

Most workflows make the following compromises:

  • Use HTTPS in production but HTTP locally. This is annoying because it makes the environments inconsistent, and the protocol choices leak up into the stack. For example, your web application needs to understand the underlying protocol when using the secure flag for cookies. If you don't get this right, your HTTP development server won't be able to read the cookies it writes, or worse, your HTTPS production server could pass sensitive cookies over an insecure connection.

  • Use production SSL certificates locally. This is annoying

Below are simple styles to "flatten" bootstrap. I didn't go through every control and widget that bootstrap offers, only what was required for https://commando.io, so your milage may vary.
/* Flatten das boostrap */
.well, .navbar-inner, .popover, .btn, .tooltip, input, select, textarea, pre, .progress, .modal, .add-on, .alert, .table-bordered, .nav>.active>a, .dropdown-menu, .tooltip-inner, .badge, .label, .img-polaroid {
-moz-box-shadow: none !important;
