I've been meaning to do that! I'll definitely move it up the priority list. I had intended the api to be entirely programmatic and allow others to build GUIs for how they wanted, say, font size drop downs to look. I could host the

My attempt at implementing what medium describes: https://github.com/NickStefan/tome-editor My favorite idea was using independent ranges data objects to track styling. Eg {start: 2, end: 3, range: color, value: blue}.

It's spreadsheet liberateD from a 2d grid. Just sub "name" for "A1" etc and there you go!

RobotJS + chrome drivers (and therefore CSS selectors for mouse/keyboard actions) would be the holy grail for integrations testing. webdriver.io kind of does that now, but it's a bit finicky... Any idea how I'd set that up?

I implemented a spreadsheet in react, flux, immutable, and used a command pattern here: https://github.com/NickStefan/rixif I did not take the approach of cells actually observing each other. Instead I had a recursive

ExpressJS is pretty interesting with its nested routers, middleware, request handling function as the app, and adjusting the prototype on each request. It gets kind of hairy so I did a blog post on it: http://www.nickstefan.net&#

People should really just use the actual name for it: CQRS There would be a lot less future confusion over what's flux or not. It's actually a really old design pattern called command query responsibility separation. http:/&

Would it be wrong to interpret this as the possible end of browser focused engineers? It seems to me that consumers have spoken that they prefer native apps (especially mobile ones) that they can quickly find on their phone's home scre

It uses your best swim times to accurately calibrate all of the intervals. I guess it could have persisted that information with cookies, etc, but its using vanilla django accounts at this point. It's a lot of information to enter in,

There is pseudoscience, and then there is "pseudoscience". What I've found with the MBTI is that it's mostly just "pseudoscience", by the strict definition of empiricism, however, that doesn't make it comp

Nice! Shameless plug for a SQLite no network geocoder that uses (I believe) the same text files to seed everything. https://github.com/NickStefan/no-network-geocoder

For a more accurate model we would need: * the actual number of people who wish to move to SF at any given time * the number of people who pay rent control, but could pay more, and what that number is * the actual rents that people pay unde

this. Its actually cheaper for me to live in rent controlled SF than "close to BART" Oakland. Bart isn't cheap. Owning a car isn't cheap. With the state of our transit, I would never want to live in Oakland without a car

Because the old market price was $4 due to there only being 20 houses that could freely move on price. If there's 100 houses there will more supply and the market rate will drop. Basically market rent is simply the price at the availab

The Vancouver market is probably out of wack due to foreign money looking for a place to park.

Exactly! How can we say the free market isn't keeping up when it's hardly free? California has an insanely slow build rate because of how much red tape sits in front of it. This slow build rate leads to less housing which gives us

It's amazing how much harder a decent wysiwyg is to make in web technologies than you'd think. Content editable was supposed to get us there, but needs a ton of override. Grouping key and click events into actions the way youd exp

And what makes you so confident people wouldn't use universal income to be lazy? The default behavior of young people who have lots of free time is basically what college students do: drink and copulate haha. Lowest common denominator

Interesting thought: what if it's the effeciency of technology rather than the automation that is the real problem to old school economics? In order for me to be able to pay rent and eat food, and still have money left over, means that

That basically is today in America. Many of the poor have flat screen tvs, cellphones etc. I think we as humans will always focus on the inequality part bcuas were social beings.

I read the express.js source quite a few times. I wanted to reason out how one goes from raw node to something like express. I found it well written, but to really understand it I found myself making toy versions of each functionality. ht
