I just finished reading the book, and his description of it is a shame.

For anybody interested it is a great book that talks about how to achieve enjoyment and a meaningful life in the current context of western civilizations. It is a great book, full of insights and really good information. Very recommended


Could you summarize the most valuable points discussed beyond what a typical layperson already knows about the idea of flow?


Hi, this is my article. I am not really sure if it is allowed/correct to self submit the writing, but I wanted to try.

I tackled the human side of leaving a long time job, without talking about the reasons or my future projects. Because that is what comes from my insides and that is something that is often left aside on this kind of articles.

I am not a experienced writer, feedback is greatly welcome.


I'm really curious about the architecture and stack of lighttable. Please Chris if you could answer some questions it would be great.

How does it work internally?

What are the 'under the hood' differences between 0.2 and 0.1 and why?

Could you share some of those things learnt through all this time building this interactive platform?

How are you doing to get a cross platform desktop app with web tech? (I guess you still use cljs for it)

I'm really curious, and I wonder myself why nobody asks this kind of questions


It uses node-webkit as the host, which combines Chromium and node.js: https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit


From what I can tell it looks like it's using the Chromium Embedded Framework

I am also really curious about these points and would like to hear what Chris has to say about them.


These are all things I plan to talk about in my next blog post :)


Thanks for this.

We were left stuck in 2.0.4 for a project , it will certainly come in handy.


You may already know this, but if you download the full master, you get the docs included in each release.

What looks scary to you? Most sites give you cookies without asking you, so why is being told that it happens more scary?

Anyway, the reason for it is an EU directive, find out about it from the UK government branch tasked with these things, the Information Commissioner's Office: http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_organisations/privacy_and_electron...


Very nice entry effect, looks great on the ipad.

As a landing page looks great, and the app and page look desirable.

A couple of suggestions:

The boxes have maybe too much emphasis, the color distracts a bit.

I missed some visual indication of the steps on the carrousel, when cycling I felt a bit lost.

Good job on both the page and app


Can somebody please point out the differences with a customized FuzzyFinder?

As I have it I get fuzzy completion from the root folder, opening splits with <c-j> and <c-k>, opening tabs with the file with <c-l>, deleting buffers from the list with <c-]>, and such.

Is there any difference or improvement one should try? Genuine question, I am really curious. It would be great to see a comparative between FuzzyFinder, Command-T and Ctrl-P...

ps: fuzz config is like this in vimrc:

    " Fuzzy Finder
    nnoremap <leader>fr :FufRenewCache<CR>
    nnoremap <leader>ff :FufFile **/<CR>
    nnoremap <leader>ff :FufFile **/<CR>
    nnoremap <leader>fg ye :FufFile **/<C-r>"<CR>
    vnoremap <leader>fg y :FufFile **/<C-r>"<CR>
    nnoremap <leader>fb :FufBuffer<CR>
    nnoremap <leader>fd :FufDirWithCurrentBufferDir<CR>
    nnoremap <leader>fl :FufLine<CR>
(Ignore the maps, thats how I like it)

Edit: I would like to point out that I have skimmed several times through the docs of Fuzzy Finder and there are several options I dont even use/grasp, so more knowledge and tips on Fuzzy Finder would be appreciated also


I use Fuzzy Finder in concert with Command-T: Command-T for quickly navigating the current working directory and Fuzzy Finder for navigating from the root like you. I imagine you could use Ctrl-P similarly, though a customized Fuzzy Finder would likely obviate the need for Ctrl-P/Command-T.

One Fuzzy Finder tip. Make sure and map :FufHelp, if you haven't:

    nmap <c-h> :FufHelp<CR>
It allows you to fuzzy find through the help docs. Being able to see closely related help docs through fuzzy matches is a huge boon when it comes to navigating Vim's help.


I've used fuzzy finder and it's ok, CTRL-P gives me a faster experience so give it a go.


Link to the actual article, instead of a voting site http://technotab.com/5-new-tools-for-designers-and-developer...

Also, the article is not interesting.


To all the `insightful` comments that again talk about browser speed on a story about Mozilla, lets just remember that different teams under the same organization work on different aspects of the same product. So if the effort is good, lets praise its goodness before criticizing other aspects of the product that may be worse compared to competitors.

It is lovely to see a good effort in the developer tools that were quite abandoned and that other products on the same space were evolving at good speed, like the chrome dev tools, which I find a great tool to work with day after day.

Lets see what Mozilla can do with the javascript part, they should be able to create at least the same good experience as the chrome dev tools do. At least I hope so...


Wonderful site and idea, good design, maybe too twitter-bootstrappy. Anyway I love it and I've subscribed inmediately.

I have noticed a subtle bug, if you check the rss, the links of the articles link to this:

  http://cssdeck.com/[item-id]/[title]
When the actual url on cssdeck is:

  http://cssdeck.com/item/[item-id]/[title]
Please correct that so that I can happily consume the RSS feed :)


ouch! haha, thanks for pointing out - it's fixed.
