    http://artsy.github.io/blog/2017/11/27/Babel-7-and-TypeScript/ An airy and business card-like blog design, clean and free from distractions. I like how the elegant Garamond font is used throughout, and the cyan gradient in the background.

    http://perfectcykel.se/ Zero images. Zero links. Webfonts for flare, a cute icon. Sometimes, a website should just be this simple.

    Someone brute-forced into a client’s WordPress site and added cryptomining js. Good thing they knocked down an HTML div on their way out!

    When using SSH at FS Data, pressing backspace in Vim were coming out as ^? so editing files was a hassle. (I am on a Linux workstation btw.) I found a solution in the Vim documentation, via a Stack Overflow post. I just opened ~/.vimrc and added the following: :if &term == “xterm-256color” :  set…

    I am used to using PhpStorm on a Mac, but now I am with Ubuntu on a ThinkPad so the keymapping is all off. I want to use the Mac OS X keymap, but contrary to my expectation, pressing the Windows key does not produce the Meta symbol so I cannot access half the shortcuts.…
