1
➜ sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string
2
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3740QM CPU @ 2.70GHz
Copied!
- To create a zero-filled file of specified size:
1
dd if=/dev/zero of=32mb.bin bs=32m count=1
Copied!
- To run a program and report its maximum memory usage and other interesting things we can use usual GNU
time(on Mac:brew install gnu-timewill install it asgtime).

- Or even simpler, to just print maximum resident set size at the end:
gtime -f %M program_name - Convert an SVG files to multiple PNG files with different resolutions and pack them all in an ICO file:
1
# install `svgexport` and `imagemagick`:
2
brew install imagemagick
3
npm install -g svgexport
4
5
# this worked better than ImageMagick for me:
6
svgexport favicon.svg 16.png 16:16
7
svgexport favicon.svg 32.png 32:32

# and so on, and then combine them:

convert 16.png 24.png 32.png -colors 256 favicon.ico
