Small script for development + builds with browserify.

Uses loose-envify for faster inlining and cross-env to handle windows/unix shells.

Dev features:

fast rebuilds w/ watchify, LiveReload, syntax errors in DOM, etc.

Build features:

uglify, simple dead code elimination, optimized bundle.

We've had numerous issues in PouchDB due to subtle differences between Webpack and Browserify:

To deal with this, we've started testing Webpack separately in CI (pouchdb/pouchdb#4701),

Converting a Word Document to Markdown in One Move

The Problem

A lot of important government documents are created and saved in Microsoft Word (*.docx). But Microsoft Word is a proprietary format, and it's not really useful for presenting documents on the web. So, I wanted to find a way to convert a .docx file into markdown.

Installing Pandoc

On a mac you can use homebrew by running the command brew install pandoc.

The Solution

Prebase

git-prebase improves on 'git rebase -i' by adding information per commit regarding which files it touched.

Each file gets an alpha-numeric identifier at a particular column, a list of which appears below the commit list. (The identifiers wrap around after the 62nd file)
Commits can be moved up and down safely (without conflicts) as long as their columns don't clash (they did not touch the same file).

Installation

Add the executable to your path and git will automatically expose it as

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.
