digitaltoad··on Alacritty, a terminal emulator written in Rust, now supports Windows
I actually use Kitty with tmux/vim. I noticed a massive improvement in rendering speed over iTerm. This was after messing with iTerm's own accelerated rendering which wasn't as much of an improvement as I had hoped.
digitaltoad··on Vis: A Vim-Like Text Editor
>end-of-the-world absolutely need performance/hard realtime guarantees

As someone who spends much of their time inside a editor, I would say that this is pretty important to me.

digitaltoad··on A Comparison of Go Web Frameworks
Depending on the complexity of the app, I feel like this way of handling middleware can get out of hand.
digitaltoad··on Google’s suggestion for a better infinite scroll?
I was mistaken. I must have clicked through to a page.
digitaltoad··on Google’s suggestion for a better infinite scroll?
Doesn't this still effectively break the back button or at least the users view of the back button? To the user although there are visual hints, he/she hasn't left the page. Scrolling down the page however creates multiple history entries.
digitaltoad··on Using Ember.js and Stripe Checkout
Just a quick edit to the script to re-enable the purchase button if the Stripe modal is closed.

digitaltoad··on Emblem.js: concise, indented alternative templating language for Handlebars.js
I would say that "each person in people" is a far cry from the type of logic in views normally frowned upon. What would you propose to be different in this case? Where does iteration of this type belong?
digitaltoad··on Stripe adds two-factor auth
I'm a WoW user as well. I will say from experience that you do not have to argue with anyone about removing the authenticator. You simply submit a support ticket containing a picture of your drivers license. The authenticator is usually removed in a few hours. I've done this multiple times now due to formatting my phone without grabbing my restore codes for my authenticator.
digitaltoad··on Ice Box Pro: The best of Dropbox and Amazon Glacier combined
I have actually been toying with building out something like this as well. My wife is a photographer and building something around dropbox and glacier only made sense.
digitaltoad··on Numbers.vim - A vim plugin for better line numbers
This still means you would be counting 5 lines whereas I'm just specifying what line to delete to.
digitaltoad··on Numbers.vim - A vim plugin for better line numbers
You shouldn't ever have to count lines in vim. The five line deletion example could have been done as:

  10dG
Which would delete from the cursor to the tenth line.
digitaltoad··on How we keep GitHub fast
That is indeed it. I had just found it too.
digitaltoad··on How we keep GitHub fast
It was not rack bug. I'm having trouble finding it. I think the company that released it was bought or closed shortly after.
digitaltoad··on How we keep GitHub fast
The mission control bar looks very familiar. Although I can't remember the name of it now, I seem to remember there being a debug bar of sorts that worked with merb/rails projects that had the same type of look. Anyone remember the name of it?

Edit:

I was thinking of FiveRuns Tune-Up toolbar.

digitaltoad··on Nobody Understands REST or HTTP
This is not necessarily true. A client could easily have the api version segment of the url in a central configuration location.
digitaltoad··on Bootstrap 2.0, From Twitter
I use Foundation and haven't had to use any <br/> with forms, nor have I even thought about it.
digitaltoad··on Why Gmail's new design is unsuitable for heavy use
I'm exactly opposite. I had no problem finding the refresh button since the icon used is basically the same exact icon used for refresh in multiple apps that I use everyday, including every browser that I use (Chrome, Firefox, Safari). It looks to me like a lot of the icons that have been used seem to be a standard in a lot of apps that use icons without text.
