All of the CSS Color names in a big javascript object.
// CSS Color Names
// Compiled by @bobspace.
//
// A javascript object containing all of the color names listed in the CSS Spec.
// This used to be a big array, but the hex values are useful too, so now it's an object.
// If you need the names as an array use Object.keys, but you already knew that!
//
// The full list can be found here: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors.asp
// Use it as you please, 'cuz you can't, like, own a color, man.

};
CarMaker.factory = function (type) {
var constr = type,
newcar;
if (typeof CarMaker[constr] !== "function") {

performance.now() polyfill (aka perf.now())
// @license http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT
// copyright Paul Irish 2015
// Date.now() is supported everywhere except IE8. For IE8 we use the Date.now polyfill
// github.com/Financial-Times/polyfill-service/blob/master/polyfills/Date.now/polyfill.js
// as Safari 6 doesn't have support for NavigationTiming, we use a Date.now() timestamp for relative values
// if you want values similar to what you'd get with real perf.now, place this towards the head of the page
// but in reality, you're just getting the delta between now() calls, so it's not terribly important where it's placed

a simple git branching model

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Gender
  1. There are two and only two genders.
  2. Okay, then there are two and only two biological genders.
  3. Gender is determined solely by biology.
  4. Okay, it’s mostly determined by biology, right?
  5. Please tell me it’s determined by DNA.
  6. Gender can be reliably determined through visual means. After all, no man would ever wear a burka.
  7. Once gender is set, it never changes.
  8. Even if the gender can change, it will only change from the one value to the other value.
  9. Only one gender can be “active” at the same time.
  10. We’re tracking gender now, so we’ve always tracked it.
