At the editorial offices they could tell that I was hanging around the corridors without purpose or goal. In principle it is accepted that when a correspondent returns from a bureau in the field he has no assignment or work for a certain time and becomes a fifth wheel to our long-suffering, dedicated team. But my alienated behavior and prolonged idleness had exceeded all the limits of tolerance, and Hofman decided to do something with me. Thus there was an attempt — one of a series in my life — to establish me behind a desk. My boss led me to a room containing a desk and a typist and said, "You're going to work here," I looked it over: the typist — yes, she was nice; the desk — abominable. It was one of those small desks, a mousetrap, which sit by the thousands in our cluttered and overcrowded offices. Behind such a desk, a man resembles an invalid in an orthopaedic brace. He cannot stand up normally to shake hands, but must first disengage himself delicately from his chair and cautiously rise, attending more

This file remaps the key bindings of a single user on Mac OS X 10.5 to more | |
closely match default behavior on Windows systems. This makes the Command key | |
behave like Windows Control key. To use Control instead of Command, either swap | |
Control and Command in Apple->System Preferences->Keyboard->Modifier Keys... | |
or replace @ with ^ in this file. | |
Here is a rough cheatsheet for syntax. | |

* VH and VW units can cause issues on iOS devices: http://caniuse.com/#feat=viewport-units | |
* | |
* To overcome this, create media queries that target the width, height, and orientation of iOS devices. | |
* It isn't optimal, but there is really no other way to solve the problem. In this example, I am fixing | |
* the height of element `.foo` —which is a full width and height cover image. | |

A multi-level groupBy for arrays inspired by D3's nest operator.
Nesting allows elements in an array to be grouped into a hierarchical tree
structure; think of it like the GROUP BY
operator in SQL, except you can have
multiple levels of grouping, and the resulting output is a tree rather than a
flat table. The levels in the tree are specified by key functions.
See this fiddle for live demo.

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master
branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages
branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master
branch alongside the rest of your code.
For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist
.
Remove the dist
directory from the project’s .gitignore
file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).
