Infojunk October 2018
This is a collection of interesting links and resources I came across in October 2018, covering a wide range of topics including browser extensions, collaborative coding, Linux, AWS, and more.
Browser Extensions
- I don’t care about cookies
- Imagus or HoverZoom+ to enlarge images on mouse over (don’t use HoverZoom since it’s a data hog).
- Amazon Infinite Scroll
Collaborative Coding
Focusing on IDEs. Web-based solutions are mostly ignored.
- Floobits - IntelliJ, SublimeText, Atom, vscode-plugin in the works
- CodeStream - the new and fancy one
- tmate - terminal sharing over tmux
- Visual Studio Live Share - Visual Studio Code
- AWS Cloud9 - coding for the cloud
- ScreenHero - h264 video streaming and now bought by Slack.io, lacking Linux support
Linux
- Use Chromium to have Hardware Acceleration in your YouTube Videos - don’t forget to install the h264ify browser extension to force h264 (Chrome chooses VP9 by default which is currently not accelerated).
- Touchpad Gestures for Gnome
- There are no GTK3 themes! Remove theming support?
NodeJS
DevOps
AI/MachineLearning
AWS
JmesPath is not as powerful as jq, but Amazon AWS probably chose it since it might be faster and the query-selectors are a bit more sophisticated (?).
