Preprocess directive attributes in AngularJS

Sometimes you need to modify a two way binded attribute value prior to use it in the directive. This can't be done in the directive controller, because the attribute assignment is done after the controller is executed.

The link function is able to access the attributes directly but unfortunately a two way binded attribute expression isn't yet evaluated a that time.

The solution is to process the attribute in a scope.$watch function where the value will be evaluated automatically.

Terminals should generate the 256-color palette from the user's base16 theme.

If you've spent much time in the terminal, you've probably set a custom base16 theme. They work well. You define a handful of colors in one place and all your programs use them.

The drawback is that 16 colors is limiting. Complex and color-heavy programs struggle with such a small palette.
