If need a quick glimpse into differences between two files, you can always use diff. you can even get some context, together with difference But, let’s be honest, that’s not what […]
If you want to test remote profiler in NetBeans, it might be quite a struggle. Main source of the problem lays in the fact, you need remote code running. You have few options here: locally started code (you can access it via localhost), Virtual Machine with all the components (JDK, source code, profiler pack), dedicated […]
By default, macOS picks up Java version based on highest number that is located here /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines. This is quite painful in case you have multiple versions of Java and willing to switch back and forth. You can, of course, export JAVA_HOME like this You can disable Java versions by moving file /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-##.jdk/Contents/Info.plist to “backup” – […]
I was struggling with Lightning plugin for quite some time. The reason was that I was getting invitations with mixed up times. Sometimes, they were correct, sometimes, completely crazy. Eventually, it turned out that Thunderbird has it’s own time zone settings. Who would have guessed? If you fix this one, all the meetings will start […]

If you have never ever worked with CLI (on macOS) I suggest to start with iTerm2: https://www.iterm2.com. I just want you to know, this is my personal view, that iTerm2 is way better comparing to default Terminal – one that you can find inside /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app. If you have never ever worked with VIM before, I […]
If you have developed applications using C, you are probably aware of preprocessor. If you have ever worked with JNI code, you recall preprocessor’s directives for sure. You can find lots of them inside JNI based code generated through javah or javac -h. These directives let you change the code before it even gets compiled. […]
Have you tried to organize your songs into play lists? And that’s what you have in your little iPod shuffle? “-All songs” “-Play list one” “-Play list two” “-Play list three” “-…” Man, this was driving me nuts.
