We had a very large monorepo at my previous company and building Docker images required us to set the context at the root of the directory (libraries, protos and helpers scattered around the repo). On macOS this is extremely slow as Docker

I made something similar to this for iOS: http://sweetervibes.com/ However, because of Apple's new strict rules on what it considers user aggregated content, privacy, and etc. It's been stuck on beta for a while.

I love Kowloon because it feels very r/outrun. I'm sure actually living there probably sucked though.

I'm not sure if they are mapping every single pixel or using some average pixels, but it's pretty fast. Here is a shameless plug for one of my color extracting library: https://github.com/jathu/UIImageColors&#

This is reminiscent of auteur theory in film, which essentially says that the director is the author of the film. Similar to corporations, making a movie requires a lot of people with different skills/talent. The director overshadows e

When I was making a simple EPUB app for my own use [1], I found it surprising that many publishers don't follow IDPF standards. Most do, but there are a significant amount that mix and match all sorts of rules. [1] http://ja

How do you differentiate a product and a company? There are obvious examples like most of the stuff on Shark Tank (i.e. cookies, jam, clothing, food products). However, I find it hard to think Pebble was just a product and not a company. Do

for-in is elegant, and you can use enumerate() to access index. However, if we had to do reverse for-loops in Swift 3, we would have to use for-in with either from.stride(to:by:) or reverse(), and to me that is not as elegant as c style for

Reminds me of the Jordan commercial [1] where he mentions he lost more than 9000 shots in his career, lost almost 300 games and missed 26 game winning shots. Amazing commercial (like most Nike commercials). [1] https://www.youtub

I've just emailed him again to please include the original headers and give credit or I'm filing a DMCA takedown notice. I'm going to give him 24 hours. Also, I just went ahead and added a real license to all my work.

Honestly, I wouldn't care if he did steal my work as long as he included the credits. I think I've learned my lesson and will include a license with all my projects from now on.

My license also says: >Please include the original header in any modifications or redistributions.

I grew up around Toronto and we started saying this in high school back around 2009/2010. I always assumed it was patois influenced, like ever other slang in Toronto, but I guess it's Australian. "yeah, no worries bro",

I made something similar a while back: http://jathu.me/pixels/ Check the source: https://github.com/jathu/pixels . You can also undo/redo by pressing z and y on the keyboard.

Well the main reason is not so much for me (I prefer all lowercase too), but rather other people linking the sites. A 404 resulting from something as simple as the wrong case is costly. Users don't try to fix the URL, they just leave!

Yes. One of my projects on GitHub is "UIImageColors", so if I were to create a gh-pages for it, the link would be jathu.me/UIImageColors.
