Rsync over SSH - (40MB/s over 1GB NICs)

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

  • a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
  • H: preserves hard-links
  • A: preserves ACLs

ESLint Reset - A starter .eslintrc file that resets all rules to off and includes a description of what each rule does. From here, enable the rules that you care about by changing the 0 to a 1 or 2. 1 means warning (will not affect exit code) and 2 means error (will affect exit code).
{
// http://eslint.org/docs/rules/

"defaultParams": false, // enable default function parameters
"forOf": false, // enable for-of loops
"generators": false, // enable generators
"objectLiteralComputedProperties": false, // enable computed object literal property names

Figuring out the most robust, accessible markup for SVG Sprite Icons

(as a reply to: https://css-tricks.com/svg-use-with-external-reference-take-2/)

While I love SVG (sprites) there are a lot of issues to take into account.

Advocating The Most Accessible Markup

UPDATE: you should take a look at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/145744/accessible-svg-icon/test.html which seems a simpler and more robust approach

Another thing: since people copy-paste our code examples it would be great if we could advocate the most robust and accessible markup IMO. I am no a11y expert, but in my understanding we could/should take some extra steps to make out SVG sprite icons more accessible.
