Finding Disk Usage on Linux

One of the most common challenges any web designer faces is ensuring that their work appears as intended. Print designers have the advantage of creating the physical designs themselves, but web designers depend upon user environments (read, browsers) to render their designs correctly.

In the past, browsers could only render the fonts already installed on a user’s computer, which meant that users without a good library of fonts would miss out on designs that made use of uncommon fonts. CSS 3 introduces a new fix called @font-fact that could be the future of web design typography. 

If you’re SSH’d into a MySQL server and want to export MySQL query results to CSV (readable by Excel), simply add the below snippet to the end of your query.

INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/results.csv' 
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' 
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'

Note that ‘/tmp/results.csv’ in the code above should correspond to a writeable destination, and the file can’t already exist.
