This simple bash command finds all of the files matching *~ recursively, executes rm on them and prints out which files are affected.

You can replace file matching pattern, and command you want to execute.

  find ./ -name '*~' -exec rm '{}' ';' -print

Generally when comes to replacing native UI components, I’m strongly against it. But, we’ve all been there, when the client insists on it.

You’ll see how to style it via CSS (webkit only), apply pure JavaScipt plugin with native scrolling or apply simple CSS hack.

Well, let’s go :)

I needed simple React slider component, as we are building our new website as a universal React application. But I did not find anything lightweight. There is a crazy trend in JavaScript world - add gazillion dependencies.

So again, I made something myself.

Check the demo.

It has no dependencies, and about 200 lines of code. Very simple and extensible. Every modern browser is supported and IE10+.

IE9 should work (if you adapt the CSS), but I didn’t test it.

Grab the code on GitHub.

People need to realize that is not enough to have a nice website with a ton of animations and effects. There is no point having such website if I can’t scroll it, while CPU and coolers go crazy. And I use latest MacBook with maxed hardware. Can’t imagine trying to use those websites on the old machine (or IE8-9).

Get your performance together.

It is nice to use post.excerpt instead of post.content on your Jekyll home page, but then users can’t see if there is more to read until they open the whole post.

To add Read more link, you can use this simple snippet.

{% if post.excerpt != post.content %}
    <a href="{{ site.baseurl }}{{ post.url }}">Read more</a>
{% endif %}
