   This site about bicycle touring is so content-heavy it's ridiculous: https://www.crazyguyonabike.com/ Browsing journals "by locale" is the best armchair tourism on the internet.

   I am ready to do this whenever a viable alternative for Sketch becomes available for Linux. I already run a Ubuntu VM full-time for development. Only using VirtualBox for Microsoft's IE VMs would be great. I suppose I could also run Il

   React (plus a couple shims) works great with IE8 up until v15.

   React is my only choice for single-page apps, but it's unnecessary for ordinary JS UI widgets on a mostly server-rendered site. For UI elements that have a lot of internal state, React can remove a ton of complexity. However, the delay

   It looks like SQ is going all-in on the A350 to expand their list of destinations. I am looking forward to the restart of their SIN-NYC nonstop[0] on the A350-900ULR. The discontinued A340-based flight was out of my price range at the time,

   I don't know what item #2 means (armature prefabrication?) but Singapore is an ideal Asian city. Especially #6—Singapore is so proud of their public housing that they included an image of an HDB building on their $10 bill.

   Sequel Pro's built-in SSH tunnel has worked for me in every remote development situation I've encountered. It seems like a really bad idea to place a web-based database tool on a public-facing host when technology exists to route

   That's what happens when you're a news organization critical of Silicon Valley, and a tech billionaire doesn't like it. Which media outlet is next on Thiel's hit list?

    Absolutely. Singapore is great, and I've always been interested in living there, but the pay for software developers is too low. The cost of living is about the same for (non-PR, non-Malaysian) foreigners as it is in NYC. From my casua

    I've worked on a client's Squarespace site on and off for the past couple of years. I initially stepped in when they had reached their own limits with customization. At first I used the in-browser stylesheet and template editors S

    I arrived in Chennai on the evening of the 30th. The rain really got started later that night and it poured all day and all night on the 1st. On the 2nd I realized it might be a good idea to leave if I could—but I couldn't. No trains,

    I built the first version of platform.org for Hank and his co-founder Jonathan a couple of years ago. He was a real pleasure to work with, and I was very sad to hear this news. :(

    Also: try canceling your nytimes subscription online. You can't—canceling requires a phone call with a lengthy wait on hold and a customer-retention sales pitch before they'll let you off the hook. Sometimes I think about subscrib

    I just wrapped up the initial version of a medium-size app using React. It was my first use of the library in production. I had originally used Backbone.Model and Backbone.Collection in conjunction with React. But after reading about Flux o
