Today: Git with the times, don't be lazy–build your own Docker, designers: don't sweat the small stuff, another day, another FB problem and an emoji garden 🌺🌺🌺Go here for a selection of free links from this week's daily editions [versioning.substack]. Get Your 'dux in a RowFront-endFirst up, an example of how CSS variables and CSS Grid can massively increase your layout flexibility, while reducing the amount of code you need [codepen/blog]. How the npm team updated npmjs.com - from hapi and jQuery to React and Spife [blog.npmjs]. Manage state in React with Undux [github/bcherny]. Tip: don't use inline functions or 4 things PWAs need [scotch]. Git 2.17 is out! [blog.github]. Changes include the addition of a specific color for code that was just moved in a commit, which saves you from needing a tedious commit message to explain all this code that suddenly appeared in one place. Whistle-stopMobile/back-end /programmingA workshop where you'll learn about Linux containers by rebuilding Docker from scratch [github/fewbytes]. whistle [github/avwo] is a debugging tool based on Node. jsonstore.io [github/bluzi] is a free, secure and JSON-based cloud datastore for your small projects. POST, PUT, DELETE and GET requests work just as you'd expect, and there's no sign-up required. You can now develop AWS Lambda functions using Node.js 8.10 [aws.amazon]. A few tips that'll make your PWA feel like a native iOS app [netguru]. How to add TouchID support to your React Native app [blog.theodo]. A guide to creating basic animations in Flutter, Google's mobile UI framework [proandroiddev]. Devil in the DetailDesign/UX/productProduct thinking is the next big thing in UX design [medium/@jaf_designer]. Don't ignore the big picture by focusing on the details [read.compassofdesign]. In design, but also in life? I guess? FiraCode [github/tonsky] is a nice monospaced font with programming ligatures. Don't Ask, Don't GetNews/businessMost Facebook users have likely had their identities discovered and public profile info scraped [washingtonpost]. Turns out FB's feature where you could search for people via email or phone number was basically an identity theft starter kit. Two new, and quite bad, vulnerabilities were discovered in industrial networking devices from Moxa [arstechnica]. One of them allowed a private key to be retrieved via GET request. Cloudflare's new DNS (1.1.1.1) is also an experiment to see how DNS in general can be improved. Turns out a lot of systems are using the 1.1.1.1 range in very bad ways that breach standards [zdnet]. The next Mac Pro is coming next year. Some detail on its development, headed by a team focused on 'pro' stuff at Apple [techcrunch]. OpenAI released an algorithm that lets AI learn from its mistakes [thenewstack]. I've decided to stop comparing AI things to Skynet, so I have nothing to say about this at all. Fribo is a robot for people who live alone [spectrum.ieee] - it'll listen to what you're up to, tell other Fribo's what it thinks you're doing, and so make you and other people feel less alone and I'm so sad after reading that. Reddit's new design was unveiled this week - here's the inside story of the 18-month redesign effort [wired]. Another possible casualty of a repeal of net neutrality: online gaming, which could get a bit laggy [arstechnica]. Stripe Billing [stripe] is a new set of building blocks and tools for companies or businesses using a recurrring business model. Motivation sucks - you need habits instead [medium/swlh]. See You Lidar, AlligatorEverything else (apps, fun tools, gaming, culture, funny stuff)Aisle [ifiction] is a text game where you can perform one action. Peepeth [peepeth] is basically blockchain-powered Twitter. It costs a lil bit of Ether to post, is uncensorable, and right now it's just a few people being nice to each other, fairly benign. Here's hoping that lasts! This legend put the original source code for Prince of Persia on a BBC Micro computer from the 1980s [bitshifters]. A guide to building your own Lidar [github/iliasam]. Finally, emoji-garden [emoji-garden.glitch] will show you a randomly-generated emoji "garden". If it's been a long week for you, this will help. There's a final (and free) Versioning edition for the week. I'll be spending the weekend as I always do - making one action. That action will be sleeping. I'll be back with more on Monday for members, and on Friday for free subscribers. I'll be coming to you live from New Zealand, too, so expect a lot of links about Lord of the Rings and sheep, and a lot of comments about how great I'm feeling. NZ is good. Curated by Adam      |
