Just a computer janitor trying to make every codebase a little better than how I found it. I'm contracting these days, so if you want to work together, say hi
Web apps have had offline capabilities like saving large data sets and binary files for some time now. You can even do things like that you could write an app that cache MP3 files. Browser technology can store data offline and plenty of it. The problem, though, is that the technology choices for how you do this are fragmented.
localStorage gets you really basic data storage, but it's slow and can't handle binary blobs. IndexedDB and WebSQL are asynchronous, fast, and support large data sets, but their APIs aren't very straightforward. Even still, neither IndexedDB nor WebSQL have support from all of the major browser vendors and that doesn't seem like something that will change in the near future.
If you need to write a web app with offline support and don't know where to start, then this is the article for you. If you've ever tried to start working with offline support but it made your head spin, this article is for you to

Casterly Rock was just as grand as she had been told it was. The castle sat proudly on top of a vast amount of rocks, looking out the glimmering sea. The views were spectacular and the castle decorated even more so. She wondered if she had ever seen such a sight before. She kept silent as she stood on the balcony, awaiting her parents to return to her. She kept her hands on the stone and her back straight. She did her best not to slump, recalling the manners which her mother and septa had taught her to have.
She continued to stare out to the sea, watching as ships sailed, her green eyes alight with wonder. At the age of ten and seven she often found pleasure in simple things she had not seen before. She had never been to the coast, but the sea air was so refreshing against her pale skin. She could not help the smile on her face.
It was only when she heard the door to the solar open did she turn around and look behind her. A simple net curtain was the only thing which separated th

An argument against using open source (free) tools and services from someone in the natural sciences. Let's not make fun of them, let's figure out how to educate scientists on the merit of open-source software and how it can help with everything from code review to transparency of process. http://www.interdisciplinaryprogramming.com

I understand the younger generation thinks everything should be free.
Well, I grew up in a country where everything was actually free. (The few things we actually could have). A worker's paradise!
As you may have heard, that country is no more, and "everything is free" was a major reason for it's demise. (To this day, they are still dividing up all the formerly free stuff)
If any lesson I learned, it is that people who do stuff should be compensated for their work
and services (commonly acceptable unit of compensaton is called "money").
So all this talk about using services because they are free is crazy talk and it leads in the same direction the whole Soviet Union happily marched off.
Copy-paste-able code for my Kensington slide clicker so that it works with my HTML/CSS slide deck. Note that if you have a Kensington remote with multiple modes that you'll want to be in 'emulate mouse' mode.
