jasonalderman / getTimeAgo.js
Last active November 29, 2017 22:02
Subtracts a date from the current time, and presents it (like Twitter) as "2s" or "2m" or "2h" ago, or as a date.
var getTimeAgo = function(datestring) {
// Takes in any datestring that can be used with the Date() constructor:
// e.g., "10/22/15" or "Wed Nov 29 2015 13:42:33 GMT-0800 (PST)"
// and outputs a date like Twitter's datetimestamps.
var d1 = new Date();
var d2 = new Date(datestring);
var timeAgo = d1.getTime()-d2.getTime();
if ((timeAgo/1000/60/60/24) >= 1) {
// return full date: "Nov 10" if same year, or "10 Nov 2015"
var months = ["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"];

Type a minute/second timecode (e.g., 2:47) in the top field, and get out a number of seconds (e.g., 167.0) below, and vice-versa. https://rawgit.com/jasonalderman/fe1e7b1d43442d82969f81fd2ffeff76/raw/ef635ba1dbe4362064be2c0853d79cae392c236c/timecode-to-seconds.html

Useful Mac commands

When microphone isn't working in Chrome in Hangouts

  1. sudo killall -9 coreaudiod
  2. Open new Chrome tab.

When you want to start a PHP Dev Server but access it from a phone or other computer

Instead of php -S localhost:8000 use php -S 0.0.0.0:8000 and you'll be able to see the server from http://<your IP address>:8000.

When you want to generate a localhost HTTPS certificate

Git commands I'm learning are rather helpful.

Preview a merge without merging.

git merge --no-commit --no-ff <otherbranch>

Diff the filenames only, with status

git diff --name-status

Chrome extension to look up words on Wordnik.
An extension for Google Chrome that lets you look up words on Wordnik.
It's outdated—the manifest version is 1 when it should be 2—but it may work for you if you
• download the files
• go to chrome://extensions
• check "Developer Mode"
• "Load unpacked extension..."
The .zip file contains the following files:
- manifest.json
- background.html

Quick function to determine if your name adds up to a prime number.
// ****
// Because I spent all week writing javascript, then I saw this:
// https://instagram.com/p/4DJNNbR5_P/
// and needed to automate it, like so:
// > getNumber("Wolfgang Mozart")
// returns: "Your name is not a prime number: Wolfgang Mozart (178)."
// ****
var getNumber = function getNumber(nameString) {
var arr = nameString.toLowerCase().split('');
var key = " abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".split('');
