How to set up git to use the GPG Suite

GPG and git on macOS

Setup

No need for homebrew or anything like that. Works with https://www.git-tower.com and the command line.

  1. Install https://gpgtools.org -- I'd suggest to do a customized install and deselect GPGMail.
  2. Create or import a key -- see below for https://keybase.io
  3. Run gpg --list-secret-keys and look for sec, use the key ID for the next step
  4. Configure git to use GPG -- replace the key with the one from gpg --list-secret-keys

Why iframes are great for embeddable widget development

Why iframes are good for embeddable widget development

There are generally two ways to build embeddable widgets to be embeddable by an arbitrary widget consuming site, that isn't on the same domain as where the widget is hosted (think stripe checkout, olark chat, or zendesk support widgets as examples):

  1. Render the widget into the embedding site's designated <div> or some other html container element
  2. Render the widget into the embedding site's designated <iframe> element

To be sure, <iframe> is generally a pretty horrible way to go. But, as usual there are tradeoffs, and in one very specific use case, it's pretty great: building embeddable widgets. No, it's not because most other companies of any import that build widgets, with some very smart engineers, use the <iframe> method - I am not one for appeals to authority - and there are some notable exceptions, like olark, though they are probably hating the maintenance of the widget ui and associated css. Primarily, the core reasons why `<ifram

#Four Ways To Do Pub/Sub With jQuery and jQuery UI (in the future)

Between jQuery 1.7 and some of work going into future versions of jQuery UI, there are a ton of hot new ways for you to get your publish/subscribe on. Here are just four of them, three of which are new.

(PS: If you're unfamiliar with pub/sub, read the guide to it that Julian Aubourg and I wrote here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptjunkie/hh201955.aspx)

##Option 1: Using jQuery 1.7's $.Callbacks() feature:

$.Callbacks are a multi-purpose callbacks list object which can be used as a base layer to build new functionality including simple publish/subscribe systems. We haven't yet released the API documentation for this feature just yet, but for more information on it (including lots of examples), see my post on $.Callbacks() here:

Checklist for securing API keys

Protecting your API keys for nodejs apps

Don't check in your API keys into your git repo, ever.

Checklist:

  1. If you've already checked in an API key for a service to your git repo, generate a new key
  2. Create a file called .env in your project's root directory
  3. Store your API keys in your .env files in this format: API_KEY_NAME=api_key_value
  4. Anywhere you had written your key in your js files, use the expression process.env.API_KEY_NAME to get the value of the API key from your environment
