requiring npm modules in the browser console

demo gif

The final result: require() any module on npm in your browser console with browserify

This article is written to explain how the above gif works in the chrome (and other) browser consoles. A quick disclaimer: this whole thing is a huge hack, it shouldn't be used for anything seriously, and there are probably much better ways of accomplishing the same.

Update: There are much better ways of accomplishing the same, and the script has been updated to use a much simpler method pulling directly from browserify-cdn. See this thread for details: mathisonian/requirify#5

a simple git branching model

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

A simple way to detect at runtime if we're running in UIKit legacy mode or the new "flat" variant. Written for our PDF iOS SDK (http://pspdfkit.com), where the precompiled binary needs to detect at runtime in what variant it's running. Want more stuff like that? Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/steipete
// Taken from http://PSPDFKit.com. This snippet is under public domain.
#define UIKitVersionNumber_iOS_7_0 0xB57
BOOL PSPDFIsUIKitFlatMode(void) {
static BOOL isUIKitFlatMode = NO;
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
// We get the modern UIKit if system is running >= iOS 7 and we were linked with >= SDK 7.
if (kCFCoreFoundationVersionNumber >= kCFCoreFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_7_0) {
isUIKitFlatMode = (NSVersionOfLinkTimeLibrary("UIKit") >> 16) >= UIKitVersionNumber_iOS_7_0;
}

iOS 5 Interface Builder, View Controller and ARC Best Practices

Now that the GateGuru team has been developing on the iOS 5 SDK for awhile, I thought I'd pull together some lessons learned.

  • Declare your IBOutlet and IBActions within the private category within your implementation file. This makes them visible to interface builder without cluttering up the external interfaces and leaking implementation details.
  • Declare your IBOutlet properties as (nonatomic, weak). The weak reference implies a non-owning reference and ARC will nil it as necessary.
  • Delegate properties should be (nonatomic, weak) as well.
  • The designated initializer for UIView's is initWithFrame: when initialized programmatically. When loaded from a Storyboard or custom Nib, it is initWithCoder:
  • The designated initializer for UIViewController's is initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil when initialized programmatically. It is initWithCoder: when loaded from a Storyboard or Nib.

A new Susy tutorial

Susy 0.9 Tutorial

See the official Susy site for 1.0 documentation.

For this tutorial I'm assuming you are already comfortable with CSS, Sass (I'll use the SCSS syntax) and Compass. Please get set up with each one of those before attempting to use Susy. Sass and Compass both have their own setup instructions and tutorials that you can use.

There is also reference documentation in the works.
