For those that don't already know, GitHub has a cool little feature that allows you to link directly to line ranges, i.e. https://github.com/mackyle/sqlite/blob/3cf493d4018042c70a4db... See the awesome G

A few first impressions: 1. Why oh why must we always shove everything into modal dialogs? In the "old" interface, each contact had its own separate page and individual URL. Now that every contact is a "card" that appear

Can you expand on that? Why would you still prefer io.js?

Ah thanks! How could I forget Wolfram Alpha? =)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you supposed to evaluate stacked exponents from the top down? That is, 9^(9^9) instead of (9^9)^9. If that's the case, 9^(9^9) is much larger than 9!!. Though I'm not sure how much l

Cool! I was actually just looking for a tool like this a couple of weeks ago. I stumbled across git-cal[1], which only works on one repository at a time, but it doesn't require you to import your commits first like this one does[2]. He

Cool! Looks like it'll do that in any browser + device combo that supports the device orientation API[1], including Safari on iOS and Chrome on most Mac laptops. Here's little bit more information from a previous comment of mine,

Doesn't that link contradict your point? Only the verb version contains a space. setup noun ... set up verb (adverb, mainly transitive) ... That said, I agree with you regarding prescriptivism vs. descriptivism.

I found that last page with the BOS-HNL-LAX-PWM-BOS circle query really fascinating for a couple of different reasons: 1) the fact that ITA could already do this in 2003, and 12 years later, most flight search engines still can't handl

Out of curiosity, for those of you building stuff with Flux: Which library do you use? Or do you just use your own implementation? We recently went with Reflux[1] for our first big React app after reading about it here[2], and I've bee

Ah, it seems I misinterpreted that paragraph. You mean to say that you're unlikely to get caught working while you're there on an otherwise legal tourist visa, right? I agree that it's less risky, but I'm still not sure

Am I allowed to work there? No, not really. But they’re not checking. Places like Southeast Asia are chock full of expats living there, doing silly things like “visa runs” to the next country and back every couple months to remain a to

I've used Intro.js[1] in the past for this technique, and I've been pretty happy with it. [1] http://usablica.github.io/intro.js/

If you'd like to collect similar stats for your own code base, check out parker[1] and stylestats[2]. At my company, we aggregate certain numbers from both tools and send them to Graphite to monitor over time, as inspired by this talk

Awesome! I'd love to attend, but I doubt my employer would spring for the travel costs from Berlin. So... who wants to help me organize React.js Conf EU next year? =) On that note, do you guys plan to record the sessions?

Yeah, that's a rather obnoxious behavior. Perhaps someone can change the link to the following? https://plus.google.com/101584889282878921052/posts/7enyPxZW...

There's actually a little utility called DigitalColor Meter[1] built in to OS X. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done. [1] http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/apple-in-the-enterprise/dis...

This is awesome! Such a wonderfully simple idea, and pretty nice execution to boot. I normally rely heavily on Cmd-Shift-4 on OS X for measuring stuff on screen (click, drag, then Esc to cancel before actually taking a screenshot), but I ha

That's because the keydown event uses keyCode instead of charCode, and the two don't always match. Try typing Shift+U and then '[' on this page to see what I mean: http://unixpapa.com/js/testkey.html

I agree. It's almost painfully difficult in some places. I think the biggest problem here is the fact that everything is set in all caps, which is a pretty big typographic no-no.[1] The wide tracking and narrow characters of the seco
