highpixels··on TypeScript 2.4 RC
Dynamic imports is standards-track JS :) http://2ality.com/2017/01/import-operator.html
highpixels··on iTerm2 Version 3 Now in Beta
Preferences > Profile > Window > Style: "No Title Bar"

doesn't seem to then be anyway to move the window (just resize from the edges)

highpixels··on Ng-book 2 is out
They recently announced a "cleaner" syntax for ES5 mode. Looks more like the Angular 1 syntax.

highpixels··on Taming the asynchronous beast with ES7
await* is awesome too:

    let arr = [/* an array of promises *]
    await* arr;
Essentially the same as Promise.all

    let arr = [/* an array of promises *]
    await Promise.all(arr)
highpixels··on What the Flux?
I've never quite understood Flux, partly due to all the cruft & boilerplate involved around Actions & Action Creators.

I've found a Command Bus pattern (a la CQRS) works much nicer, and cleaner.

1. Something happens in View (e.g. todo item is checked) 2. View passes a "CompleteTodoItemCommand" object to the Command Bus 3. Command Bus dispatches the Command to a registered Handler 4. Handler communicates with server, store etc. to handle the command; handing TodoItem to the store 5. Store triggers change event 6. View hears change event, renders self

That said, I've only built a few smaller projects in React, so perhaps I'm missing something important which Flux solves and I'm missing?

highpixels··on Microsoft on GitHub
Fonts have been fixed on GitHub now.
highpixels··on Ask HN: What do you use for PDF reports these days?
We're also using Prince, love it. We've previously used PdfCrowd and wkthml2pdf, but our customers were demanding more control of their reports (detailed footers, repeating headers, table of contents).
highpixels··on I built a custom keyboard for iOS 8
I also built a custom keyboard, designed specifically for Project Managers: http://posts.danharper.me/project-manager-keyboard-for-ios/
highpixels··on Rails – The Missing Parts – Policies
Don't suppose you have a link to that video? Or remember any more details so I could dig it up?
highpixels··on Atom
I'm guessing the Atom project was WAY different back then, and has probably gone through several ground-up re-writes.

highpixels··on Show HN: Delete with your Macbook Pro's power key
Huh? They're right there on the right, below the delete key.
highpixels··on Exposed Webcam Viewer
Guy seems to be naked on the bed watching TV now.

Thankfully the camera's very pixelated.

highpixels··on An apology to open source
I work for Radweb, Nick no longer works with us. He left around a year ago or so.

I've made a few open-source contributions through the company (https://github.com/danharper and https://github.com/radweb).

Chart.js looked like an awesome library, it's a shame what happened.

highpixels··on A Get Shit Done script
Problem with these is I end up turning it off.
highpixels··on Bitcoin Vending Machine
Something like that, but it could be done ahead of time - receive a bitcoin address & redemption code online, send your coins then ~30mins later go to the machine, enter your redemption code and receive your BTC.

Redemption code could also be a QR code. Put it on your phone & hold it up to the machine.

highpixels··on Tuts+ Premium Account Security Compromised
As a regular author for Tuts+ I am absolutely FUMING with them.
highpixels··on What iOS 6 Mobile Safari Offers Front End Devs
Finally support for input type="file"!
highpixels··on Backbone.js localStorage + remote sync
Just what we needed! We were just planning on adding similar functionality into our Backbone app. I check Hacker News an hour later, and there it is!

Looking forward to seeing the offline sync helper you mentioned in another thread.

highpixels··on Show HN: Safebox - for ur Dropbox
I'd love to see an Android client. I use Dropbox a lot with my phone, and really need some sort of encryption solution for it.
highpixels··on Can you build beautiful sites with Twitter Bootstrap? Hell yes
You wouldn't go into a restaurant which had the same generic "look". How dull would life be if all buildings have the same generic style; all shop fronts had their name printed in the same size, font and colour; all menus looked alike and everyone drove the same car?

A standardised GUI is not the same as standardised branding.
