With the M1, I now have to check the cpu usage history occasionally.
- bentcorner 5y agoHonestly I believe that as developers we don't use audible feedback enough in our tooling. Imagine diagnosing your app health like you could diagnose your connection speed of a dial-up modem.
- jareklupinski 5y agoi stick the OS's equivalent of `bell` at the end of long-running scripts :)
- bangonkeyboard 5y ago&& say 'All done, come get some'
- lucb1e 5y agoFor the Linux users && espeak "job's done"
- function_seven 5y agoAgreed. I usually laugh at TV shows and movies that use a bunch of beeps and boops in their computer scenes.[1] But sometimes I actually want that! Like, if there was a switch I could flip to turn on audio cues every time a window's contents are updated, or new lines appear in a terminal window. And every window update would be tagged with a different sound for error, warning, info, success, etc. I know you can configure your terminal to play a BEL sound, but I'm looking for something system-wide. I want it like the movies, so I can pay attention to something else and not have to check in on the progress of my compilation or transcoding or long download.
- laurent92 5y agoI make extensive use of “say”, the built-in macos program that can say out loud anything you give it.
- morcheeba 5y agoI've been feeling just the opposite - I've been using an IDE from the mid-2000s for a legacy project, and it's amazing how things have changed. The search function dings a bell if nothing is found, and it does it in real-time as you type... so it gets annoying really quick (no auto-complete, and not even ctrl-v to paste in to the search query)
- fomine3 5y agoTransition of search dialog to search bar is also a huge improvement.
- samat 5y agoremember ping? -a Audible. Include a bell (ASCII 0x07) character in the output when any packet is received. This option is ignored if other format options are present.
- cesarb 5y ago> Honestly I believe that as developers we don't use audible feedback enough in our tooling. Allow me to point out a very cool project I saw in the early 2000s, which unfortunately seems to have been abandoned and forgotten: http://peep.sourceforge.net/intro.html http://peep.sourceforge.net/intro.html (Peep (The Network Auralizer): Monitoring your network with sound).
- jheriko 5y agojesus wept. are your builds that slow, or your inability to add notifications that real? not sure if programmer, or just troll...
- stephencanon 5y agoThe fan _was_ their notification. Why would they have wasted time adding another?
- pasc1878 5y agoBecause the fan will continue for some time after the compile finishes. So you can do work before the fan stoos
- mirekrusin 5y ago./build && say "done"
- sgt 5y agoYou wouldn't be able to hear that when the fan on my MBP is blowing at its peak :-)
- laurent92 5y agoIf you compile on the command line, modify your compiler, such as mvn.sh, to end with: ‘say “Done”’
- soheilpro 5y agocommand && say done
- matgessel 5y agoSome ideas for playing a notification sound in a script runtime: Shell # system beep; also flashes the screen if you have that enabled in accessibility osascript -e 'beep' # play the sound file given by the file system the path afplay /System/Library/Sounds/Hero.aiff AppleScript beep do shell script "afplay '/System/Library/Sounds/Hero.aiff'" JXA + Cocoa API $.NSBeep() // search for and play a sound file; the lookup path is defined by macOS $.NSSound.soundNamed('Glass').play
- rsfinn 5y agoAlso shell (edit: as noted elsewhere): $ say "Your build is done."
