Sass/Less Comparison

In this document I am using Sass's SCSS syntax. You can choose to use the indented syntax in sass, if you prefer it, it has no functional differences from the SCSS syntax.

For Less, I'm using the JavaScript version because this is what they suggest on the website. The ruby version may be different.

Moving to ES6 from CoffeeScript

Moving to ES6 from CoffeeScript

I fell in love with CoffeeScript a couple of years ago. Javascript has always seemed something of an interesting curiosity to me and I was happy to see the meteoric rise of Node.js, but coming from a background of Python I really preferred a cleaner syntax.

In any fast moving community it is inevitable that things will change, and so today we see a big shift toward ES6, the new version of Javascript. It incorporates a handful of the nicer features from CoffeeScript and is usable today through tools like Babel. Here are some of my thoughts and issues on moving away from CoffeeScript in favor of ES6.

While reading I suggest keeping open a tab to Babel's learning ES6 page. The examples there are great.

Punctuation

Holy punctuation, Batman! Say goodbye to your whitespace and hello to parenthesis, curly braces, and semicolons again. Even with the advanced ES6 syntax you'll find yourself writing a lot more punctuatio

Techniques for Anti-Aliasing @font-face on Windows

#Techniques for Anti-Aliasing @font-face on Windows

It all started with an email from a client: Do these fonts look funky to you? The title is prickly.

The font in question was Port Lligat Sans from Google Web Fonts.

The "prickly" is aliasing caused by lack of hinting

Quickly convert all of your Viscosity connections into OVPN configuration files for OpenVPN for iOS (bundles certificates and keys in the files too)
config_files = Dir.glob("#{ENV['HOME']}/Library/Application Support/Viscosity/OpenVPN/*/config.conf")
config_files.each do |file|
certificate_files = ['ca', 'cert', 'key', 'tls-auth']
config_dir = File.dirname(file)
connection_name = nil
new_config = []
File.read(file).each do |line|
line.strip!

How to make an automatic "stream's live" notification for your Discord server

Making an automatic Twitch -> Discord notification (using IFTTT)

So you went live and you want everyone to know. Here's how you do it:

Part 1 - Register on IFTTT

Go to https://ifttt.com/ and create an account (if you don't already have one)

Part 2 - Make a Discord Webhook

  • Find the Discord channel in which you would like to send Tweets.
  • In the settings for that channel, find the Webhooks option and create a new webhook. Note: This URL should be kept private. It allows anyone to write messages to that specific channel using that specific URL. Keep it safe!
