Command line
rsync
is a bettercp
. You can easily get a copy with progress bar by just usingrsync -P file_a file_b
It also has a ton of other useful functions. Originally picked it up from this post: https://solovyov.net/blog/2011/rsync-better-cp/- To get the full processor name on Mac:
➜ sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3740QM CPU @ 2.70GHz
- To create a zero-filled file of specified size:
dd if=/dev/zero of=32mb.bin bs=32m count=1
- 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-time
will install it asgtime
).
➜ gtime -v target/release/c
iterator returned: 384

- 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:
# install `svgexport` and `imagemagick`:
brew install imagemagick
npm install -g svgexport
# this worked better than ImageMagick for me:
svgexport favicon.svg 16.png 16:16
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
- Run a command every 5 seconds:
watch -n5 command
- Convert GPS routes from .gpx to .kml without creating lots of points:gpsbabel -i gpx -f input.gpx -o kml,points=0 -F output.kml
