Occasionally the Internet delivers and gives us something decent other than videos of cats playing keyboards.
Flexbox is one of the newest and potentially most useful parts of CSS3 in a very long time. Support amongst browsers is fairly decent and while it is not really that new, being able to use it is.
This cheatsheet shows some nice easy to understand and follow, examples of how to use Flexbox. While the cheatsheet does not explain all of the great uses of Flexbox, it will help you understand how to use it.
Recently the AngularJS team released a slideshow showcasing what we should expect when AngularJS 2.0 is released. It detailed that controllers, directives and AngularJS as we all currently know it will be changing, with the aforementioned features being removed.
Some people are excited and others are naturally freaking out. The steep learning curve of AngularJS means that some have had to struggle and learn harder than others to get to the point they are at now and when 2.0 is released, it will be an entirely new framework.
If you work in the tech industry, more specifically as a developer (software or web) you are slowly dying from a disease commonly known as: overtime.
There is no cure for overtime other than something called common sense. It comes in many different forms, but for many including myself, it can be a hard pill to swallow when a deadline is looming or a culture of overtime is prevalent. When the company comes to expect overtime, in this economy you have two choices: deal with it and hope you do not burn out or find a new job.
Thanks a lot Apple, you incompetent pieces of shit. Gone are the Steve Jobs days of quality and consistency, these days it seems not only have Apple stopped innovating, they can not even seem to release a software update without breaking things.
First the messed up launch of iOS 8 and the number of issues people experienced there, now the latest and supposedly greatest version of OS X comically named Yosemite is experiencing more issues than an actress in a rehab clinic.
Recently on my MacBook Pro when I launched DOTA 2, the dock was showing and the menu bar, buttons were being cut-off and the game was hard to use. The issue seems to stem from how Steam sometimes launches the game client.
The fix is rather simple and worked for me.
Open up the Steam client Click the Library tab Right click on Dota 2 Select Properties Click on the General tab (it should be selected by default) Click on the “Set Launch Options” button In the box that pops up enter -fullscreen
I am a huge fan of 1Password and the update process has always gone very smoothly, however recently while attempting to upgrade from 4.4.2 to version 4.4.3 I kept getting an error message about how the application archive failed to extract.
I tried absolutely everything and came to the conclusion that this is an issue with the update package or the update software itself.
The fix is to manually download the update from the 1Password site here and manually install it (which works). Annoying, but not world ending.
Well, it finally happened. I broke my phone whilst playing a furious game of air hockey. Leaning against the table for those slam shots resulted in my loyal Samsung Galaxy S4 getting its LCD broken and cracks in the glass.
I am currently in Seattle, my insurance ran out recently and I had to go and find a new phone. I tried to find just a straight up Galaxy S4 for a decent price, to no avail.
After over a year since EllisLab announced they would be discontinuing development of Codeigniter and finding a new owner and or owners, EllisLab have finally announced they have found a suitable owner to take over the Codeigniter framework and brand.
Whew! Lengthy search and process is winding down. @codeigniter has a new home. Details will follow soon.
— EllisLab (@EllisLab) August 22, 2014
The owner nonetheless is the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) who have a course that teaches Codeigniter amongst other things, so they have a vested interest in seeing the framework continue to thrive and evolve.
My soon-to-be wife recently purchased a HP Envy M6 laptop because it fits her needs of blogging, listening to music, photos, social media and watching video (she isn’t a gamer). However, she soon encountered issues with the trackpad.
It seems HP and their middle-line laptops have some history when it comes to trackpads becoming unresponsive and buggy. This is the model of laptop with the A10 processor, 6gb of ram and 15.6" touch screen.
I used to be and am still at times, an avid Adobe Fireworks user. I strongly believe it was ahead of its time and it wasn’t given a proper chance to be the standout premier web design tool that many realised it was.
Recently after moving to a MacBook Pro, I have started playing around with Sketch 3. I think it is fantastic, a great design tool and above all, really snappy (the exportable SVG feature is great).
