Mac trick for a fast hiding dock

davecap:

If you want to increase the speed that the dock hides and shows, and remove the delay so that you don’t waste those precious milliseconds, copy/paste these commands into your terminal:

    defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0.05
    defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 0
    killall Dock
  

You now have a fast hiding dock!

MAMP - mysqlcheck: Got error: 1045

learned from http://www.nyayapati.com/srao/2011/03/mamp-mysqlcheck-got-error-1045/

MAMP - mysqlcheck: Got error: 1045

I started seeing the following error every time I started MAMP. This began after I changed the root password for my MAMP installation on my MBP.

1	/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqlcheck: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect

It turns out that the default password is hard coded in different scripts under ‘/Applications/MAMP/bin’. In my case the script quickCheckMysqlUpgrade.sh. Just edit the script to have the correct password and you wont see the annoying message again.
