Fenced code in bullet lists with GitHub-flavoured MarkDown??

Fenced code blocks inside ordered and unordered lists

  1. This is a numbered list.

  2. I'm going to include a fenced code block as part of this bullet:

git diff localizable.strings
(from :http://www.entropy.ch/blog/Developer/2010/04/15/Git-diff-for-Localizable-strings-Files.html)
First, add this to the project’s .git/info/attributes file:
+
*.strings diff=localizablestrings
(Unfortunately you do have to add it to every project, there doesn’t seem to be a global attributes configuration file)
Second, add this to your ~/.gitconfig file:

UIBezierPath category to create an arrow (now with a Swift version!)
// Swift 2.2 syntax / API
import UIKit
extension UIBezierPath {
class func arrow(from start: CGPoint, to end: CGPoint, tailWidth: CGFloat, headWidth: CGFloat, headLength: CGFloat) -> Self {
let length = hypot(end.x - start.x, end.y - start.y)
let tailLength = length - headLength

This is a guard that tracks down UIKit access on threads other than main. This snippet is taken from the commercial iOS PDF framework http://pspdfkit.com, but relicensed under MIT. Works because a lot of calls internally call setNeedsDisplay or setNeedsLayout. Won't catch everything, but it's very lightweight and usually does the job.You might n…

My Heroku values

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

A collection of links for streaming algorithms and data structures

General Background and Overview

  1. Probabilistic Data Structures for Web Analytics and Data Mining : A great overview of the space of probabilistic data structures and how they are used in approximation algorithm implementation.
  2. Models and Issues in Data Stream Systems
  3. Philippe Flajolet’s contribution to streaming algorithms : A presentation by Jérémie Lumbroso that visits some of the hostorical perspectives and how it all began with Flajolet
  4. Approximate Frequency Counts over Data Streams by Gurmeet Singh Manku & Rajeev Motwani : One of the early papers on the subject.

Every time I hit something that annoys me in Xcode, I add the feature/UX improvement/change I'd like to the list.

Xcode Wish List:

Legacy Support

  • Additional optional downloads:
    • Older SDKs, eg, for building ancient projects.
    • Older compilers (for same).
  • Either ship gcc/llvm-gcc or don't. Don't ship clang and call it 'gcc', that just breaks anyone who actually needs GCC and finds your not-gcc in the PATH.

UX
