FlatUI Radio Button Directive for AngularJS

FlatUI RadioButton AngularJS Directive

This means you can ignore the "flatui-radio.js" file and just use plain angular. Not had any problems so far.

var PORT = +process.env.PORT || 1337;

// In real life, you'd probably use more than just 2 workers,

cluster.fork();
cluster.fork();

Why I Like Go

A slightly updated version of this doc is here on my website.

Why I Like Go

I visited with PagerDuty yesterday for a little Friday beer and pizza. While there I got started talking about Go. I was asked by Alex, their CEO, why I liked it. Several other people have asked me the same question recently, so I figured it was worth posting.

Goroutines

The first 1/2 of Go's concurrency story. Lightweight, concurrent function execution. You can spawn tons of these if needed and the Go runtime multiplexes them onto the configured number of CPUs/Threads as needed. They start with a super small stack that can grow (and shrink) via dynamic allocation (and freeing). They are as simple as go f(x), where f() is a function.

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Blog: Moving DocPad Forward, the rise of backend-agnostic GUIs

Moving DocPad Forward, the rise of backend-agnostic GUIs

A GUI, or rather a CMS interface for DocPad is the big next step. It was also one of the first proof of concepts I used to ensure DocPad would be able to scale into the web development platform of the future.

Proof of Concept

Back in the first early months of DocPad, I created three plugins:

  • Authenticate: To authenticate you against the project's maintainers to ensure that you have read and write access
  • REST: Provided authenticated users the ability to update documents via HTTP POST requests using JSON

Get the share counts from various APIs

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.
