Ever want to launch a mobile app from within the browser, but ensure that the browser still redirects the user to the link if the app isn't installed? This took some fiddling around, but when the "ah ha" moment hit, the solution is really quite simple.
// tries to execute the uri:scheme
function uriSchemeWithHyperlinkFallback(uri, href) {
// set up a timer and start it
var start = new Date().getTime(),
end,
elapsed;
// attempt to redirect to the uri:scheme
// the lovely thing about javascript is that it's single threadded.
// if this WORKS, it'll stutter for a split second, causing the timer to be off

Algorithmic layouts

You are looking at the most important, and most abundant thing on the web. You can't see it, unfortunately, because it's very small… aaaaand it's invisible — so having a magnifying glass doesn't really help here. But still.

I'm talking, of course, about U+0020; not to be confused with the band U2, who are just as ubiquitous, but far less useful.

This unicode point, representing the humble space character, is between every word, in every run of text, on every page of the web. And it has a very special characteristic: it's not sticky like glue. If two words are neighbors but there's not enough room for both of them, the space will free the second word to wrap around and start a new line.

Before getting into flexible containers, viewport meta tags, and @media breakpoints this humble character is what makes the web fundamentally 'responsive'. That is: able to change the layout of its content to suit different devices, contexts, and settings. Browser text does this automa

// components

render(Object.assign(e.s,t)&&e,d,e)),t.i||d,t&&t.i||{}),d.t=t=e):(
// create notes
m=t.d||(e.t?document.createElement(e.t):new Text(e.p)),
// diff props

JavaScript: Classic Scripts vs. Modules vs. CommonJS

JavaScript File Format Differences

There's the pervarsive notion that all JS is created equal and that there's only minor and easily detectable differences between the various file formats used to author JavaScript. This is correct, from a certain point of view.

A certain point of view?

For many people writing JavaScript that gets passed into build tools,

How to set up Python in 2022

I have an updated version of this on my blog here: https://chrisamico.com/blog/2023-01-14/python-setup/.

Python

This is my recommended Python setup, as of Fall 2022. The Python landscape can be a confusing mess of overlapping tools that sometimes don't work well together. This is an effort to standardize our approach and environments.

Tools and helpful links:

  • Python docs: https://docs.python.org/3/
  • Python Standard Library:  - Start here when you're trying to solve a specific problem
