Icons have been part of applications since ages. Also most websites rely on icons. There were several ways to use them. First we used plain files then image sprites to reduce requests. Nowadays everyone uses icon fonts like font-awesome or glyphicons.

They are infinetly scaleable and styleable with css. The downside is they use pseudo elements for displaying. This is not only difficult to handle but also non-optimal for accessibilty.

A famous CSS-Tricks post brings SVG icons into play. The are also scalable and they behave like normal images. But we also want to have a sprite to not load any images seperatly and kill our servers and our sites performance. The proposed version is to create sprites with grunt or gulp using the symbol-trick. It's basically add every icon to a hidden sprite-image and give every icon an id-property.

A country that's polarized is paralyzed. If we want any change in the coming years, we need to find a way to work together. However, you can't just unify people by holding hands and singing Kumbaya. No – rather than ignore or "put aside" our differences, let's use our different perspectives & interests & skills to tackle problems from all possible angles! For us to find common ground, we first need to find common goals.

This is the Common Project project.

Below, you'll find a list of projects, people, organizations, books, talks, movies, articles, and ideas that cross partisan lines to solve The Big Problems we face today. There's many such problems. And we'll need help from all sides.

js

• setImmediate - doesn't set anything immediately, waits for a tick before executing
• setTimeout(fn, n) - never sets the timeout to exactly n
• Math.random() - computers cannot generate random numbers
• Promise - is a lie when rejected
• Array.reduce - accumulates, does not reduce (via @sbmadhav)

Forking a single package in a monorepo

The trend of using monorepos makes a lot of things easier to manage. However, when you want to fork a single package inside a monorepo, you'll have to chose one of two options:

• Fork the entire monorepo (meaning you get all those extra boilerplate you don't really care about)
• Manually copying the package files into a new git repo (meaning you'll loose all git history and have a lot of work to do when there's a new version of your base package)

The good news: There's a solution for this! And it's actually built in to git.

git subtree

One of the lesser-known (and vaguely documented) features of git is subtree. It's intended for this purpose, working as a great alternative to the criticized submodules. There are very few resources about using this in practice, so here's a guide for this specific use case.
