List Files in Human Readable Format
I maintain an older computer with a small hard drive. I use it mostly for storing MP3s, videos, and other types of basic media. Unfortunately I often get warnings that disk space is low and so I need to delete files I no longer need; i.e. music or movies I have probably grown tired of. I always sort them by size, largest first, so I can find out where the cogs are.
The problem is I try to stick to command line but only know how to do that sorting with human readable format by using Mac's Finder utility. I recent found a command which will output the contents of the current directory and its subdirectories by human readable size:
du -sk -- * | sort -n | perl -pe '@SI=qw(K M G T P); s:^(\d+?)((\d\d\d)*)\s:$1." ".$SI[((length $2)/3)]."\t":e'
That command is kinda gross so you'll probably want to save it as an alias. Nonetheless I now know how to get the desired information from command line!

![Duplicate DeSandro’s CSS Effect]()
I recently stumbled upon David DeSandro's website when I saw a tweet stating that someone had stolen/hotlinked his website design and code, and he decided to do the only logical thing to retaliate: use some simple JavaScript goodness to inject unicorns into their page.

CodePen is a treasure trove of incredible demos harnessing the power of client side languages. The client side is always limited by what browsers provide us but the creativity and cleverness of developers always pushes the boundaries of what we think the front end can do. Thanks to CSS...
