React recently introduced an experimental profiler API. After discussing this API with several teams at Facebook, one common piece of feedback was that the performance information would be more useful if it could be associated with the events that caused the application to render (e.g. button click, XHR response). Tracing these events (or "interactions") would enable more powerful tooling to be built around the timing information, capable of answering questions like "What caused this really slow commit?" or "How long does it typically take for this interaction to update the DOM?".
With version 16.4.3, React added experimental support for this tracing by way of a new NPM package, scheduler. However the public API for this package is not yet finalized and will likely change with upcoming minor releases, so it should be used with caution.
There are so many great GIFs out there and I want to have copies of them. Twitter makes that harder than it should be by converting them to MP4 and not providing access to the source material. To make it easier, I made a bash pipeline that takes a tweet URL and a filename, extracts the MP4 from that tweet and uses ffmpeg to convert back to GIF.

GraphQL-LD is a way to query Linked Data using GraphQL.
Instead of querying GraphQL interfaces, Linked Data interfaces are queried, such as SPARQL endpoints, TPF interfaces, Linked Data documents, ... This is done by semantifying GraphQL queries using a JSON-LD context.
Try it out from your browser: http://query.linkeddatafragments.org/
Alternatively, install GraphQL-LD or Comunica SPARQL and execute GraphQL-LD queries on your machine
After installing the keybase command-line tool onto a new / fresh computer, you may want to import your PGP key to the local keyring so that you may use the keys with GPG.
Import your PUBLIC PGP key:
keybase pgp export|gpg --import -All libraries have subtle rules that you have to follow for them to work well. Often these are implied and undocumented rules that you have to learn as you go. This is an attempt to document the rules of React renders. Ideally a type system could enforce it.
A number of methods in React are assumed to be "pure".
On classes that's the constructor, getDerivedStateFromProps, shouldComponentUpdate and render.

Recently, Let's Encrypt launched free wildcard certificates. While this is good news in and of itself, as it removes one of the last remaining reasons for expensive commercial certificates, I've unfortunately seen a lot of people dangerously misunderstand what wildcard certificates are for.
Therefore, in this brief post I'll explain why you probably shouldn't use a wildcard certificate, as it will put your security at risk.
It's generally pretty poorly understood (and documented!) how TLS ("SSL") works, so let's go through a brief explanation of the parts that are important here.
The general (simplified) idea behind how real-world TLS deployments work, is that you:
