A CSS pseudo-element is used to style specified parts of an element. In some cases you can style native HTML controls with vendor specific pseudo-elements. Here you will find an list of cross browser specific pseudo-element selectors.

Styling native elements

Native HTML controls are a challenge to style. You can style any element in the web platform that uses Shadow DOM with a pseudo element ::pseudo-element or the /deep/ path selector.

video::webkit-media-controls-timeline {
  background-color: lime;
}

video /deep/ input[type=range] {

Hashes in Ruby

What's a Hash and why is it important?

A Hash is a collection of key-value pairs. To add, fetch, modify, and delete a value from a Hash, you refer to it with a unique key.

While an Array is indexed by Integers only, a Hash is keyed by any object -- Strings, Integers, etc.

In other programming languages, a Hash might be known as an 'associative array', 'dictionary', or 'HashMap'.

What does a Hash look like?

Sid Meier's 10 Rules of Game Design
Sid Meier's 10 Rules of Game Design
1. Choose a topic you have a passion for. Game Design is about creativity.
2. Do research after the game is done. Tap into the player’s brain.
3. Define your axioms, refine your axioms. Prototype, prototype, prototype; sit in all the chairs.
4. Double it or cut it in half. You are more wrong than you think.

Instructions on how to fix npm if you've installed Node through Homebrew on Mac OS X or Linuxbrew

OBSOLETE

This entire guide is based on an old version of Homebrew/Node and no longer applies. It was only ever intended to fix a specific error message which has since been fixed. I've kept it here for historical purposes, but it should no longer be used. Homebrew maintainers have fixed things and the options mentioned don't exist and won't work.

I still believe it is better to manually install npm separately since having a generic package manager maintain another package manager is a bad idea, but the instructions below don't explain how to do that.

Fixing npm On Mac OS X for Homebrew Users

Installing node through Homebrew can cause problems with npm for globally installed packages. To fix it quickly, use the solution below. An explanation is also included at the end of this document.

Resources for learning about MRI Ruby's internal C source code
Recently someone asked me for online resources about MRI's internal C source
code. Here are a few - if there are more to add please leave a comment! - pat
1. Ruby Hacking Guide - The definitive resource for people who want to learn
the C programming details of how Ruby works internally. Intended for C hackers.
It was just recently translated into English from the original Japanese.
http://ruby-hacking-guide.github.io
2. Various presentations by Koichi Sasada - he often does public presentations
on Ruby internals and they're always fascinating and full of technical details.

The Ultimate Git Alias Setup

The Ultimate Git Alias Setup

If you use git on the command-line, you'll eventually find yourself wanting aliases for your most commonly-used commands. It's incredibly useful to be able to explore your repos with only a few keystrokes that eventually get hardcoded into muscle memory.

Some people don't add aliases because they don't want to have to adjust to not having them on a remote server. Personally, I find that having aliases doesn't mean I that forget the underlying commands, and aliases provide such a massive improvement to my workflow that it would be crazy not to have them.

The simplest way to add an alias for a specific git command is to use a standard bash alias.

# .bashrc
