When will GitHub terminate its contract with ICE?

jwalk parses JSON into a stream of TSV records: https://github.com/shellbound/jwalk/

Performance depends on what toolset you’re using and how large your data set is. For small JSON documents, like a package.json file, jwalk is around ten times slower on my machine:…

Try to imagine yourself in the shoes of someone who doesn't know HTML and just wants to write a message or comment with a little emphasis and maybe a bulleted list. That's the majo…

I was involved with the Wysihat project too. What we found is that its approach, like most other editors', is fundamentally broken. We created Trix to solve the problem. https://gi…

Sadly, while the Scribe developers correctly identified all the various problems with contenteditable ( https://github.com/guardian/scribe/blob/master/BROWSERINCONS... ), they chos…

For those who missed the other announcement, Pow 0.4.0 has xip.io support built-in: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/3191-announcing-pow-040-with-...

You're right. I'm probably just running xip.io to steal all your sensitive development-mode form data!

I've got just the tool for you! https://github.com/sstephenson/gosh

Because I didn't know about it :) Great tip!

Sure thing. For high-level measurements I use good old "new Date().getTime()". One call before, one call after, subtract the former from the latter and log it to the console. When …

Thanks, I really appreciate it!
