Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...
curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

List of Inherited CSS
Consolidated lists of CSS properties that are inherited by default.
Taken from http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/propidx.html
--------------------------------------------------------------------
One item not in the list was "text-decoration" which affects child elements. A few new properties (text-shadow) also affect child elements

How to make faster scroll effects?

How to make faster scroll effects?

  • Avoid too many reflows (the browser to recalculate everything)
  • Use advanced CSS3 for graphic card rendering
  • Precalculate sizes and positions

Beware of reflows

The reflow appens as many times as there are frames per seconds. It recalculate all positions that change in order to diplay them. Basically, when you scroll you execute a function where you move things between two reflows. But there are functions that triggers reflows such as jQuery offset, scroll... So there are two things to take care about when you dynamically change objects in javascript to avoid too many reflows:

If you want to use Xcode's FileMerge as your git mergetool, this is how you set it up.
# Tell system when Xcode utilities live:
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
# Set "opendiff" as the default mergetool globally:
git config --global merge.tool opendiff
