OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

creationix

// Joins path segments.  Preserves initial "/" and resolves ".." and "."
// Does not support using ".." to go above/outside the root.
// This means that join("foo", "../../bar") will not resolve to "../bar"
function join(/* path segments */) {
  // Split the inputs into a list of path commands.
  var parts = [];
  for (var i = 0, l = arguments.length; i < l; i++) {
    parts = parts.concat(arguments[i].split("/"));
  }
  // Interpret the path commands to get the new resolved path.

In-Application Sandboxing with Web Workers

A design rationale.

For the past fews years, the Web has been shifting control to the client. Given the limitations of remote services, developers are now looking for ways to "unhost" static applications – that is, break the dependency on remote servers while still using the Web platform.

One untapped technology for client-side control is the Web Worker Sandbox. This API lets the Page load, execute, and destroy separate Worker threads which use their own Virtual Machines. By using Worker Sandboxes to drive behavior, the Web can give users the choice of which software they run together, shifting development from a centralized SaaS model into a distributed and free (as in freedom) script-sharing model.

Worker Sandboxes can Execute Arbitrary Code

GitHub and Git are not just for writing programming code. They can also be an effective tool for writing articles and books. Matthew McCullough has written a quick guide to writing books in lightweight formats. This article will be folded into this Teaching repository over the coming months.

Architecture in Elm

This document is a collection of concepts and strategies to make large Elm projects modular and extensible.

We will start by thinking about the structure of signals in our program. Broadly speaking, your application state should live in one big foldp. You will probably merge a bunch of input signals into a single stream of updates. This sounds a bit crazy at first, but it is in the same ballpark as Om or Facebook's Flux. There are a couple major benefits to having a centralized home for your application state:

1. There is a single source of truth. Traditional approaches force you to write a decent amount of custom and error prone code to synchronize state between many different stateful components. (The state of this widget needs to be synced with the application state, which needs to be synced with some other widget, etc.) By placing all of your state in one location, you eliminate an entire class of bugs in which two components get into inconsistent states. We also think yo

Server-Sent Events Demo

Server-Sent events is a specification for implementing server-side-push for web frontend applications, through plain-old HTTP.

It is best contrasted with WebSockets, which offer a full-duplex messaging channel over a custom protocol, operating within a single TCP connection (with an HTTP-compatible handshake).
