"Rainbow is a code syntax highlighting library written in Javascript.
It was designed to be lightweight (1.4kb), easy to use, and extendable.
It is completely themable via CSS."

That is awesome. Also, that is insane. I think it might be the Esperanto of fonts…

Thinking about this more, it is unlikely that letters evolved to their optimum shapes. However, there's a 2nd, possibly bigger, problem—that the phonetics are also poorly matched to their letter representations.

To do this right, you'd need to identify the basic building blocks of phonemes and represent them visually. And that would be built upon yet another premise, namely that English phonemes make sense.

Widget Encapsulation
During our initial foray into the online editor space, we took a straightforward approach by having API users launch our editor in a new page or window. This simplified integrations and allowed us to own the editing experience.

When we rebuilt our editor in JavaScript, we took the opportunity to re-architect our API as well. Our first big change was making the editor embeddable. This meant that third party developers could load the editor on their own sites, maintaining user engagement while controlling their experience. We built out customization options that allowed the site owner to decide which tools appeared in the editor. A real estate site, for example, might not want its users adding mustache stickers to appliances in photos.

"In cases where you need to dynamically generate DOM nodes, modify specific children as with the <span> shown above, and then append the newly created set into a container, what do you do? Fortunately, jQuery provides an end() function that allows you to pop the current set off the stack and then move down to the next one. In the example above, calling end() immediately before appendTo() would cause the initial <div> that wraps <span> to be appended to divContainer which would achieve the desired end result in this case."

"way, was constantly running up against browser bugs. WebKit wouldn't show an empty line at the end of the document, and in some releases would suddenly get unbearably slow. Firefox would show the cursor in the wrong place. Internet Explorer would insist on linkifying everything that looked like a URL or email address, a behaviour that can't be turned off. Some bugs I managed to work around (which was often a frustrating, painful process), others, such as the Firefox cursor placement, I gave up on, and had to tell user after user that they were known problems, but not something I could help.

Also, there is the fact that designMode (which seemed to b"

"Komodo's Code Intelligence system is a set of tools that makes browsing, searching, and programming complex code easier and more accessible. Use the Code Browser to view the hierarchical code structure within a program file or project. The Code Intelligence system includes support for Python, Perl, Tcl, PHP, Ruby, and JavaScript. Code Intelligence is comprised of the following tools:

Code Browser: A tab that displays a hierarchical view of all code constructs (for example, variables, methods, imports) in all open files. In the Code Browser, symbols can be sorted and filtered; the current scope of a symbol can be located. To access the Code Browser, click View|Tabs|Code Browser. The Code Browser is displayed on the Code tab beside the Projects tab.

AutoComplete and CallTips: The Code Intelligence system is used to drive autocomplete and calltip functionality for Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby, JavaScript, XSLT, CSS, and XML (including HTML and DTD).

"Gson is a Java library that can be used to convert Java Objects into its JSON representation. It can also be used to convert a JSON string to an equivalent Java object. Gson can work with arbitrary Java objects including pre-existing objects that you do not have source-code of. There are a few open-source projects that can convert Java objects to JSON. However, most of them require that you place Java annotations in your classes something that you can not do if you do not have access to the source-code. Most also do not fully support the use of Java Generics. Gson considers both of these as very important design goals."

"A number of companies are making a push to move traditional desktop applications into the cloud. You can now write documents, spreadsheets and presentations all from the web browser with ease.

"If you are a developer that read about yesterday’s Facebook Insights announcement but want examples of tools that can be implemented, look no further than Facebook’s open source Insights API sample that was released yesterday.

It’s pretty basic, but it illustrates the potential of the new Facebook Insights."

REST Describe & Compile is an editor and a compiler for (REST) Web Services that are described in Sun engineer Marc Hadley's Web Application Description Language, or short WADL. In order to use REST Describe & Compile you do not necessarily need to understand what WADL is, it is a good idea to have heard at least of the basics though. In consequence, in the following let me explain the absolute minimum of what I consider good to know.
