A different approach to the problem - maintain a small sorted list, print the largest as we go, then the top 10 at the end. I often find that the find and sort take a long time, and the large file might appear near the start of the find. By printing as we go, I get better feedback. The sort used in this will be much slower on perls older than 5.8. Show Sample Output
-2find . -type f|perl -lne '@x=sort {$b->[0]<=>$a->[0]}[(stat($_))[7],$_],@x;splice(@x,11);print "@{$x[0]}";END{for(@x){print "@$_"}' -
be careful where you execute this from do a 'sudo ls' beforehand to prime sudo to not ask for your password

When downloading files on a Mac, Apple adds the x-attribute: com.apple.quarantine. Often, this makes it so you can't even run a ./configure. This command gets rid of the quarantine for all files in the current directory.
-2find . | xargs xattr -d com.apple.quarantine -
Using xargs is usually much quicker as it does not have to execute chmod for every file
-2find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod a-x -

Finds files modified today since 00:00, removes ugly dotslash characters in front of every filename, and sorts them. *EDITED* with the advices coming from flatcap (thanks!)

This solution is similar to [1] except that it does not have any dependency on GNU Parallel. Also, it tries to minimize the impact on the running system (using ionice and nice). [1] http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/7009/recompress-all-.gz-files-in-current-directory-using-bzip2-running-1-job-per-cpu-core-in-parallel
-2find . -type f -name '*.gz'|awk '{print "zcat", $1, "| bzip2 -c >", $0.".tmp", "&& rename", "s/.gz.tmp/.bz2/", "*.gz.tmp", "&& rm", $0}'|bash -
-2find -maxdepth 1 -type d | while read dir; do echo $dir; echo cmd2; done

First use find to find all the images that end with jpg or JPG in the current dir and all its children. Then pipe that to xargs. The -I{} makes it so spaces in filenames don't matter. The 1024">" makes it so it takes any image greater in dimension than 1024 and resizes them to 1024 width, but keeping aspect ratio on height. Then it sets the image quality to 40. Piping it through xargs means you avoid the file count limit, and you could run this on your entire file system if you wanted.
-2find . -name '*.jpg' -o -name '*.JPG' | xargs -I{} mogrify -resize 1024">" -quality 40 {} -
Use find's built-in "exec" option to avoid having to do any weirdness with quoting.

-2find -type l -xtype l

this command is used to locate all pom.xml files, access the dir and do a mvn clean, but I do recommend you to disable network interfaces to not download dependencies packages to be faster. Show Sample Output

-2find . -type f -name '*' -exec md5sum '{}' + > hashes.txt
-
-2find . -type f -regex '.*\.\(cpp\|h\)' -exec bash -c 'unexpand -t 4 --first-only "$0" | sponge "$0"' {} \;
