Shortcut to insert new rows in Google Spreadsheets
First select a whole row, then do Opt Cmd =. That’s option key, command key, and the equal sign key.
I am using Chrome on osx.

brew update is stuck
There is no output, no errors, no nothing. It just sits there.
Maybe related to this, who knows? https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/3285
So I reinstalled brew.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
But then the install process is stuck at this line
==> /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
After some googling, apparently it’s caused by some combination of osx and xcode, see here: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/569. So I ran the following to fix the issue.
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/DeveloperBut then after Ctrl-C and reinstall brew, I got stuck at another line, seems like it did a git reset HEAD but stuck right after.
I tried a few other things but nothing could pass that point. Then just random guessing I checked my Software Update, and saw a 5Gb osx update sitting there waiting, I was like, why not?
So update osx, reboot, then magically brew starts working. =)
Get real page source
Nowadays with all these javascript frameworks if you just do a view page source, you will only get the skeleton app div with a bunch of script tags. To see the expanded real page source, type in the following in the web console.
copy(document.querySelector('html').outerHTML)That will copy the computed dom to your clipboard, then you just need to paste it to your text editor. You will see all the other dom nodes which the js files added to the app div.

Watch these videos before looking for a new car
Kevin Hunter, who worked at car dealerships before, gives the inside scoop of what’s happening at the car dealerships. I have experienced a few things he talked about in the past. These videos are definitely worth watching before heading to the car dealerships.

Format a USB stick
There are times Disk Utility cannot help you. Then you know it is time to turn to the command line.
sudo diskutil list
sudo diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 NEW_DISK_NAME /dev/disk3Make sure /dev/disk3 is indeed the usb drive, go through the drive list from the result of the first command to make sure.
FAT32 is the file system you want to use on the usb drive. And NEW_DISK_NAME is the usb stick volume name. If you pick say myDrive, and you get the error myDrive does not appear to be a valid volume name for its file system, simply use uppercase characters, e.g. MYDRIVE, that will help you move forward. You can rename it later after formatting it.
I converted my unreadable USB drive from
/dev/disk3 (external, physical):

1: Apple_partition_map 4.1 KB disk3s1
