How to move to a fork after cloning
So you've cloned somebody's repo from github, but now you want to fork it and contribute back. Never fear!
Technically, when you fork "origin" should be your fork and "upstream" should be the project you forked; however, if you're willing to break this convention then it's easy.
* Off the top of my head *
1. Fork their repo on Github
2. In your local, add a new remote to your fork; then fetch it, and push your changes up to it
git remote add my-fork git@github...my-fork.git

Code highlighting for Keynote presentations

Step 0:

Get Homebrew installed on your mac if you don't already have it

Step 1:

Install highlight. "brew install highlight". (This brings down Lua and Boost as well)

Viewport meta tags used by the 20 sites that are listed in Social Driver's "20 Best Responsive Web Design Examples of 2012"

Intro

http://socialdriver.com/2012/07/20-best-responsive-websites/ lists 20 sites that are supposedly best-in-class when it comes to responsive design techniques. I had a look at the viewport meta tags used in these sites.

Findings

  • All sites use width=device-width, with in most cases an additional initial-scale=1. This is good practice.

However:

  • 8 sites turn off pinch-zooming by setting maximum-scale to 1, or using user-scalable=no. While there are some corner use cases for this, it does not make sense to do this on text-heavy sites as it impairs accessibility.
  • 3 sites use semi-colons as delimiters between viewport values. While this works in newer mobile browsers, it's not officially supported, and breaks in older mobile browser versions.
  • 1 site has 2 viewport meta tags (with different values) in the source...
function! MyFoldText() " {{{
let line = getline(v:foldstart)
let nucolwidth = &fdc + &number * &numberwidth
let windowwidth = winwidth(0) - nucolwidth - 3
let foldedlinecount = v:foldend - v:foldstart
" expand tabs into spaces
let onetab = strpart(' ', 0, &tabstop)
let line = substitute(line, '\t', onetab, 'g')

Accompaniment to dcjq

This is a more wordy, narrative accompaniment to my pretty bare presentation about d3 that I gave to the jQuery DC Meetup.

What is d3?

  • Not a chart library (though you can make charts with it)
  • Not a map library (though you can make maps with it)

Which is to say, d3 can be used for building things, but the 'atomic parts' are lower-level than bar graphs or projections or so on. This is a powerful fact. It also means that d3 is a good basis for simple interfaces, like Vega.js, that make its power accessible in other ways.

  • Not a compatibility layer (it doesn't work with bad browsers)

Example Nginx configuration for serving pre-rendered HTML from Javascript pages/apps using the Prerender Service (https://github.com/collectiveip/prerender).Instead of using try_files (which can cause unnecessary overhead on busy servers), you could check $uri for specific file extensions and set $prerender appropriately.
# Note (November 2016):
# This config is rather outdated and left here for historical reasons, please refer to prerender.io for the latest setup information
# Serving static html to Googlebot is now considered bad practice as you should be using the escaped fragment crawling protocol
