I was thinking the same thing. Tab Mix Plus sounds like one of those extensions that might not be doable under the new API... Which would explain why there's no chrome version. Also the main reason why I use Firefox as well... This wi

So... I don't understand if you're supposed to use this with react, or instead of react? If the answer is "instead," is it a language and a view framework?

One thing I like about material vs e.g. Bootstrap is their treatment of widgets. In particular, the range slider & toggle slider (checkbox alternative) seem common but bootstrap doesn't address these.

This is definitely like the Nest in that it's an "entry" into the home, clearly it has ambitions to be more than just a router. On the surface, a $200 router doesn't even make sense. 99% of the time congestion is probab

I've seen a similar project where it lets you navigate to an address in google maps, shows the satellite image, then lets you draw an outline of your roof. (I can't remember if you had to estimate the roof angle or not.) I wonder

So to be clear, the article isn't suggesting that e.g. github will interpret the ANSI escape sequences, but they will be when you `git log` from a command line, right?

Anyone know if an issue has been opened (or any relevant discussion on the dev list) on stripping escape sequences? It does seem like it could be harmful.

I made a simple demo/ starter app in Electron right around the time when the project was renamed from Atom-Shell. https://github.com/thom-nic/electron-demo/ I'm sure documentation has improved since then

I noticed as a kid that while 60 seconds/minutes seemed odd when we live in a base-10 number system, it was incredibly convenient when dividing into parts: 60 is divisible by 2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,20,30. Always thought that was sort of

Sounds interesting, but given that it's founding members are only two companies, it sounds like it doesn't really represent the larger erlang community?

Nice. Definitely something that I miss when using Express for a UI-centric project. Seemed like only the "kitchen sink" frameworks (Rails, Django) had decent CRUD/admin UI options.

I think the ugliness is driven from a goal to create globally unique class names, that wouldn't conflict with e.g. a pre-built widget that was pulled from a third-party CDN rather than passing through the same asset builder. Which

I've had numerous previous employers (maybe all of them) who ask for a list prior inventions. So it's definitely not uncommon. Certain things (like projects on Github) which you could easily prove existed prior to your engagement

This is one of those things that Android got right early on, URLs can have 'open handlers' no matter whether they appear - in an email, on the web or a link to google maps that opens the Maps app from another app. Not only can an

Is it modeled strictly per-user or is there any notion of an "organization" similar to Github? It's hard to imagine a business having to manage paying for a bunch of individual accounts so they can have access to the company

Honestly I thought the most apparent (to me) advantage to Homebrew over deb/apt/yum is that it's Git based, so incredibly easy to contribute to. I've never contributed an apt package but I have created a number of homeb

I rather like the idea of io.js being a faster moving fork of node. Hopefully a "reconciliation" would mean essentially re-naming the projects to something like "node stable" and "node edge" but maintaining bo
