That article decidedly does _not_ say that the Australian government is going to chart course away from the American war machine. It says there are some members of the labor party (the less right wing of the two main parties) who have final

That's a real shame. Personally I thought it was a great article and the concept of the stem struck a chord. The trick with posting this sort of stuff (or finding out someone else posted your stuff) to forums, particularly this one, is

It is true that web components can have properties and accessors like any object. But what you cant do is pass anything other than a string to a web component's attributes in the markup. I wrote a short article about this when I was in

I love to read W.G. Sebald. For several years I'd been on the lookout for a book called The Emigrants by the Swedish author Moberg, but the author's surname had never really stuck in my mind, I just knew about the book. One day in

I've poked at web components on and off over the years and never been satisfied with them, but it was only recently that I took the time to put my finger on what exactly my fundamental problem with them was - I never saw any examples w

>I am awake and aware of this status. I really enjoy this state, but I find it hard to keep it going for very long. Pretty soon I think about how great it is that I'm not thinking, and it's all over.

The point of this article is to steer people away from GoJS. It reads as a dupe of a prior article of theirs: https://www.jointjs.com/blog/jointjs-vs-gojs but without any direct references to GoJS. The emphasis on the

Yahoo Pipes was the direct inspiration for jsPlumb, name and all, back in 2009. We were surprised they hadn't open sourced the UI and decided that somebody should make something like that available. Big fan of Pipes.

Whenever I get negative comments about my open source endeavours, such as this from a well-known internet guy: https://twitter.com/kentcdodds/status/520671451829907457 I retweet them, and I laugh to myself about i

During my university years I used to bore everyone I could with this idea. I became quite obsessed with it and spent a lot of time working on simulations, the basic idea being that if we modelled a road network as a DAG, with intersections

I jumped up and down about this to Slack over the course of a few emails, having some paid workspaces and a couple on the free plan that I use(d) for family. Eventually I got one of those "Hi this is such and such, stepping in for the

yes the 'N' shape is caused by where the control points for that curve are placed. the api allows you to change that value when you make a connection; i think the yellow connection on the main demo just uses the default. but i do like the
