igl··on Bash Keyboard Shortcuts Stickers
Unfortunately only available with Fisher-Price key labels.
igl··on Microsoft takes .NET open source and cross-platform
adobe brings photoshop to linux crosses fingers
igl··on Material UI
I like these small frameworks. Bootstrap is almost a little too big for my taste. You end up having custom builds which are hard to maintain and update. New frameworks like semantic-ui make the mistake and are even bigger and more interwoven with js code. Fluff that! I really don't need 5 variations of every component!

And drop your icon library into a seperate project! So i can choose between font-awesome, boostrap-gylphs or this MUI-Icon set. FA-like is the way to do it.

igl··on Berlin’s digital exiles: where tech activists go to escape the NSA
In what way is Germany more safe? Pretty ridiculous. But if you consider TAZ to be radical ha ha humm...

See: Vorratsdatenspeicherung, TED Talk by Malte Spitz, George Maaßen. Laws don't apply here to the intelligence apparatus either.

igl··on Jisp – A programmable language that compiles to JavaScript
no source maps? :( come on!
igl··on Wake Up, Europe
Shut up, America.
igl··on Performance and Opportunities of HTTP 2.0
Security was not even mentioned. Really? Was it that long ago?
igl··on Nunjucks – A rich and powerful templating language for JavaScript by Mozilla
Yes I figured that out. I just don't understand why this has to exist. It's adding nothing noteworthy and very likely not faster either.

By the example of async which initiates value lookups... it can only be slower and promotes the bad habbit of putting too much logic into views.

Looks exactly like swig. Only the async operations are new.

igl··on LIVE NOW: Glenn Greenwald, Assange, and Kim Dot Com in NZ
8 hours and 262 points later this moved past page 2 on HN already? Behind the stupid motorcycle helmet? eh?
igl··on Snowden Documents Indicate NSA Has Breached Deutsche Telekom
yes, if you scroll down to the Top ten list of most shared articles in the small widget to the right. It's #4.

By worse things you mean camerons face? In an article that asks "why isn't GB [the NATO] bombing the shit out of iraq yet [again]?"

igl··on Snowden Documents Indicate NSA Has Breached Deutsche Telekom
This article disappeared from the german frontpage of Spiegel.de very quickly :)
igl··on Dutch Girl Fakes a Trip to South East Asia
I am already off Facebook since a few months. The first 2 weeks I caught myself opening a new tab typing 'face' and then realizing I deactivated my account. I just moved to a new city which breaks my old ties even faster. But my really good friends call me now and that feels really good!

Next up: 99 days without hackernews :)

igl··on Uber Drivers “Strike” and Switch to Lyft Over Fares and Conditions
Followed this Uber thing for a little, Read a few articles from the neo liberal tech press, specially interesting when Uber was banned in germany. Initial Reaction to this: haha
igl··on Awesome Node.js: Curated list of delightful Node.js packages
I don't think that any effort went into this. It's just a list of the most popular libs for keyword-x.
igl··on Dimensions – Measure everything you see in the browser
My problem is that it is picking up invisible elements too.
igl··on Dimensions – Measure everything you see in the browser
Just testet it on a few pages... I'm sorry. It's not going to work out between the two of us.

I was hoping it was really just doing by pixel testing, but it seems to pick up on html elements too.

Or could it be buggy on my retina fisher price here?

igl··on The Racial Dot Map: One Dot Per Person for the Entire U.S.
°o(Apartheid is huge in america!) I have some business ideas! Racially segregated car sharing! Racially segregated clothing (ok that one might be too flooded already) Racial Segregation -- the Magazine(!) DOWN VOTE NOW!
igl··on Meteor in Action
It's meteor! Their marketing department want your email desperatly ;)
igl··on Standard Markdown
markdown is awesome! Why ruin it by design by committee? Standard Markdown will go down as fascist markdown!
igl··on A failed experiment: How LG screwed up its webOS acquisition
I miss my palm pre... Best phone user interface i ever used and it was actually less sluggish than my galaxy running jawah with twice the computing power. But I admit the small screen, bad battery life and lack of apps was kinda shitty too...

After they replaced google- with bing-maps i had to put it down for good :(

igl··on How a new HTML element will make the Web faster
Someone from the HTML standard body is going to make the web better? Riiiiiiight...
igl··on Shen is a portable functional programming language
Interesting but I wish there were more functional languages that omit braces. I only know of F# and the js preprocessor livescript.

Seems like embracing lisp style is a must do for many lang-creators. Or is it just for the sake of parsing simplicity and dislike of whitespace significance?

igl··on Isobuild: why Meteor created a new package system
Everything about Meteor reads like a marketing article.

How about:

- It defines global variables. - The documentation is full of red warning messages and "this will be easier in the future" - The code is pretty unorganized and has some wild pieces in there. - do any of your friends use/heard of meteor?

igl··on Building 3D with Ikea
I am amazed on how this could be cheaper and faster than actually doing real life photos. The scenery and lighting quality is amazing though. Can't do that in a warehouse full of ikea products and fake housings either.
igl··on Underscore.go
yo dawg, i heard you like FP...
igl··on US Terrorist Database Growing at Rapid Rate
I guess it grows with the number of Tor users.
igl··on EA is File Snooping with the Origin Client
ugh! I am actually glad not to see stupid buggy EA games on steam :)
igl··on Germany turns up pressure in suspected US spy case
It is not plain stupid. It's actually a good opportunity to figure out what the Grundgesetzbuch is (yes, it is actually not a valid 'constitution') Even Scheuble said the sovereignty issues went into 'ad absurdum' since ww2. There is contract after contract after contract. Germany is in so much need of a rewrite of its law books. Everything is corrected by extensions and special rule. The amount of paperwork germans produce is INSANE and should easily push someone to think "Wait there is something f'ed here".

- Say anything they want: Unless you mention the H with the J's... and cough Horst Köhler cough

- No evidence of tampering in elections: mmmmmmh there are always issues in the east and there is always something coming up in small districts or states. They are not major but important nonetheless (Read: Local press)

- The press is free and extensive: LOL!!!!!!!!! Axel Springer and Spiegel dictate the opinion here, everyone else is a jew-baby-eating holocost denier.

- people can largely do as they please: yes, if they can afford a lawyer to help them with the paperwork.

Not getting into this stuff and just accepting everything would be plain stupid.

igl··on A Guide to Chinese CSS Font Family Declarations
That's weird. Specially since traditional characters are mostly used in Taiwan and Hong Kong, where facebook should be accessible.
