Reset the Agenda

General web

plato [github/es-analysis] offers JavaScript source code visualizations and analysis.
ConfAgenda [github/aurelioderosa] is a quick, lightweight JavaScript app for navigating through conferences easily, built by our very own Aurelio De Rosa (thanks Aurelio!).
vmd [github/yoshuawuyts] is a Node app for previewing markdown files in a new window, formatted like they are on GitHub.

Fine Print

Design

The Verge takes a good look at Dark Patterns — UI elements designed to deceive [theverge].
Here’s the first in a series on typeface mechanics [frerejones], or all the little things that make typefaces visually functional.
And here’s how Medium made its stories look good when printed [medium/designing-medium].

Mail Drop

SitePoint

On SitePoint, we attempted to demystify JavaScript closures, callbacks and IIFEs.
And then we looked at using Bootstrap’s Affix and ScrollSpy plugins.

Droned Out

News/business

Mark Burnett released 10 million real username and password combos. Here’s how he justified it [motherboard.vice]. (A few swears in there, FYI.)
Brianna Wu has received more than 43 death threats in the last five months for standing up to lunatics associated with gamergate. Here’s why she’s not gonna be silenced — and what everyone can do to support women in tech/everywhere — in her own words [bustle]. (Obviously there's a lot of unpleasant stuff in there, so be aware of that.)
Here’s Harper Reed, former CTO of Threadless and Obama’s reelection campaign, explains how to handle trolls and bad actors in a community [medium/backchannel].
This one weird trick may make it impossible to reverse engineer software [wired], which is kind of bad news, possibly leading to new types of DRM and harder to examine malware.

Off-topic

Bindle [bindlechat] looks like it’s aiming to be like Slack, but for messaging your friends. Which is a bit rough on your work friends.
Finally, here are some absolutely wonderful/terrible CSS puns [speckyboy]. Everyone associated should be ashamed of themselves (good work!).
 
That's it for us for today. We'll be back tomorrow: Harder, better, faster, stronger.
