Improved swipe gestures plugin for jQuery

What was changed (compared to the original v0.1.2):

• Don’t modify the default settings internally.
• Merge the options recursively (deep copy) so that the custom threshold values actually get used.
• Allow overriding the options globally through $.fn.swipe.options.
• Use namespaced jQuery events (using the swipe namespace) instead of DOM2 addEventListener to prevent errors in old IEs.
• Simplified and optimized code.
• Changed swipeLeft and swipeRight functions to be called within the context of the bound element. Thanks, @kswedberg!

// Use the animate.css animations

function animate(element, effect, delay, callback) {
    // Set a delay if needed
    var animation = setTimeout(function () {
        // Add the animation effect with classes
        $(element).addClass('animate ' + effect);
        // Check if the elemenr has been hidden to start with to prevent FOUC
        if ($(element).css('visibility') == 'hidden') {
            // If it has, show it (after the class has been added)

Build Developers

Brief

You cannot do it on your own. Whether you're buildings products or a consultancy, you need developers. You can't afford to outbid everyone else and, even if you do, another company will up the ante in six months. You can't rely on your network or universities to deliver fully ready Rails devs. Professional recruiters are no answer.

Your only real option is to build them. That's the situation LivingSocial faced, and in this session, we'll share lessons learned from the design, recruitment, and beginning months of Hungry Academy. Let's discuss:

• Recruiting applicants
• Evaluating aptitude

Backstory: I decided to crowdsource static site generator recommendations, so the following are actual real world suggested-to-me results. I then took those and sorted them by language/server and, just for a decent relative metric, their Github Watcher count. If you want a heap of other projects (including other languages like Haskell and Python) Nanoc has the mother of all site generator lists. If you recommend another one, by all means add a comment.

Open Conference Expectations

This document lays out some baseline expectations between conference speakers and conference presenters. The general goal is to maximize the value the conference provides to its attendees and community and to let speakers know what they might reasonably expect from a conference.

We believe that all speakers should reasonably expect these things, not just speakers who are known to draw large crowds, because no one is a rockstar but more people should have the chance to be one. We believe that conferences are better -- and, dare we say, more diverse -- when the people speaking are not just the people who can afford to get themselves there, either because their company paid or they foot the bill themselves. Basically, this isn't a rock show rider, it's some ideas that should help get the voices of lesser known folks heard.

These expectations should serve as a starting point for discussion between speaker and organizer. They are not a list of demands; they are a list of rea

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

// This is a peek behind the curtain at @zaarly's epic-fantasy-heavy-metal-themed internal styleguide, better known as Hammer.
//
// With this, you can add the .fancy class to a symbolset span inside of a heading tag to add a nice circular background. 
// Some adjustments to the positioning of a particular glyph may be necessary. 
// Each :before is set to postion: relative, so fine-tuning a .fancy glyph is simple, and won't affect the position of the circle.
//
// Example markup (in HAML):
// %h1
//   %span.ss-check.fancy
//   Cool Guy Settings™ saved!
