Scream at the sky, whisper secrets to the ocean, hold hands with clouds. The world is yours if you want it to be.
Do things that make you nervous and let the feeling consume you until you feel scared and alive and want to throw up.
Don’t worry about falling in love.
Pick flowers whenever you see them and leave them wherever you go.
Kiss all the things that make you happy and all the things that make you sad, kiss everything that makes you feel anything.
Weave stars into your clothes and always remember that you came from them and will go back to them again someday.
Never empty your pockets.
Light dead flowers on fire when you’re feeling sad, let their smell fill your lungs and make you forget about life.
Diet coca cola will make your head spin and your throat burn, drink it when you’re feeling like things are going to get bad.
If a boy with pretty eyes asks you who you are, show him your scars and your freckles and your bruises and let him know that you are alive.
The best people have electricity running through their veins and around their hearts, let them shock you.
Forget how old you are, it does not matter.
If something or someone makes you want to run then do it, run until your legs go numb and your heart is about to explode and you forget how to breathe.
When the world is asleep make the night your friend and you will become invincible.
Get lost in another city and don’t ask for directions.
Cry if you want to, but try not to drown in your tears.
Do not be afraid of the sight of blood or the sound of bones snapping or the smell of hospital beds.
Race the moon while you’re driving until you’re going faster than the speed of light.
Sublime is binary compiled for the platform. Its core is written in C/C++ and a number of its features are implemented in Python, which is also the language used for extending it. Atom is written in Node.js/Coffeescript and runs under webkit, with Coffeescript being the extension language. Though similar in UI and UX, Sublime performs significantly better than Atom especially in “heavy lifting” like working with large files, complex SnR or plugins that do heavy processing on files/buffers. Though I expect improvements in Atom as it matures, design & platform choices limit performance.
The “closed” part of Sublime includes the API and UI. Apart from skins/themes and colourisers, the API currently makes it difficult to modify other aspects of the UI. For example, Sublime plugins can’t interact with the sidebar, control or draw on the editing area (except in some limited ways eg. in the gutter) or manipulate the statusbar beyond basic text. Atom’s “closed” part is unknown at the moment, but I get the sense it’s smaller. Atom has a richer API (though poorly documented at present) with the design goal of allowing greater control of its UI. Being closely coupled with webkit offers numerous capabilities for UI feature enhancements not presently possible with Sublime. However, Sublime’s extensions perform closer to native, so those that perform compute-intensive, highly repetitive or complex text manipulations in large buffers are feasible in Sublime.
Since more of Atom will be open, Github open-sourced Atom on May 6th, 2014. (Atom is MIT licensed and the source is freely available from the atom/atom repository.) As a result it’s likely that support and pace of development will be rapid. By contrast, Sublime’s development has slowed significantly of late - but it’s not dead. In particular there are a number of bugs, many quite trivial, that haven’t been fixed by the developer. None are showstopping imo, but if you want something in rapid development with regular bugfixing and enhancements, Sublime will frustrate. That said, installable Atom packages for Windows and Linux are yet to be released and activity on the codebase seems to have cooled in the weeks before and since the announcement, according to Github’s stats. Now prebuilt versions of Atom are available for OS X 10.8 or later, Windows 7 & 8, RedHat Linux, and Ubuntu Linux.
In terms of IDE functions, from a webdev perspective Atom will allow extensions to the point of approaching products like Webstorm, though none have appeared yet. It remains to be seen how Atom will perform with such “heavy” extensions, since the editor natively feels sluggish. Due to restrictions in the API and lack of underlying webkit, Sublime won’t allow this level of UI customisation although the developer may extend the API to support such features in future. Again, Sublime’s underlying performance allows for things that involve computational grunt; ST3’s symbol indexing being an example that performs well even with big projects. And though Atom’s UI is certainly modelled upon Sublime, some refinements are noticeably missing, such as Sublime’s learning panels and tab-complete popups which weight the defaults in accordance with those you most use.
I see these products as complementary. The fact that they share similar visuals and keystrokes just adds to the fact. There will be situations where the use of either has advantages. Presently, Sublime is a mature product with feature parity across all three platforms, and a rich set of plugins. Atom is the new kid whose features will rapidly grow; it doesn’t feel production ready just yet and there are concerns in the area of performance.
Social media meta tags make your content look better on social media. You can control how your post or update shows up in news feeds. And handsome social media updates make your content more appealing.
Meta data allows you to tell social media platforms how titles, images, and more should show up in the newsfeeds on those sites. The rel=publisher and rel=author also are on this list because those two tell Google+ to link your site to your company page and your posts to your profile, respectively. Using meta data on social media (which also shows up in searches) shows potential readers more information such as author byline, description, and images so they are more apt to click on your content.
You may have heard about the Open Graph protocol which enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google+, and most social websites use these Open Graph meta tags. Twitter has its own Twitter card property to get rich snippet. Google+ and Pinterest also support Schema.org meta tags but Open Graph is fine.
Following tips will help you for integrating social meta tags into popular CMS systems like WordPress, Tumblr and Blogger.
WordPress site, self-hosted or third-party hosted
The WordPress publishing platform is one of the most popular and widely used CMS systems in the world. It provides rich plugin support for additional functionality, including various plugins for social media.
Popular plugins in particular like Jetpack and WordPress SEO by Yoast make it easy to integrate your WordPress site with social meta tags.
Install WordPress SEO by Yoast, this plugin made everything easier:
Go to the left navigation and click on SEO and then Social under that.
In the Facebook tab, check the checkbox “Add Open Graph meta data.”
Select Save Changes.
Now move on to the Twitter tab and check the checkbox “Add Twitter card meta data” and save changes.
Similarly add meta data for other social media.
WordPress site, hosted on WordPress.com
Automattic/WordPress supports hosting of WordPress sites on their WordPress.com domain, with over 72M sites and counting.
By default, WordPress-hosted blogs are enabled with social meta tags. WordPress automatically scans the contents of your post and determines the best meta data. Additionally, WordPress allows for easy-posting of your blog entries directly to social media via the “New Post” interface.
Tumblr
Tumblr has quickly become one of the most popular blogging platforms for content and photos, with nearly 145M sites and counting.
By default, Tumblr has social meta tags enabled, and “smart suggests” the meta data based on your post type. However, if you want to further customize the social meta tags, you can follow following process.
A few HTML elements don’t play nice with responsive layouts. One of these is the good ol’ iframe, which you may need to use when embedding content from external sources such as YouTube and Vimeo videos.
iFrames, contain external content which cannot really be measured from the parent page. The width and height settings are necessary to define the size of the iframe, as the content inside will not help shape it (like an image would). But setting a static width and height on an element poses a problem for any type of fluid/flexible design. If the parent area shrinks in width to be narrower than the video, the video will break out, not shrink to fit.
In this post, I’ll show you making embedded video responsive using CSS, so that content such as YouTube or Vimeo video resize with the browser’s viewport. For those occasions when non-coders will be embedding video on your website and you don’t want to rely on them adding extra markup, we’ll also look at a solution that uses JavaScript instead of CSS.
The markup for embedded video
Services such as YouTube provide code that you can copy and paste into your own website to embed content. When you embed content from an external source, the code will include an iframe:
This iframe enables external content to be displayed on your website, because it includes a URL that points to the source of the streamed content.
However, you’ll notice that our iframe includes width and height attributes. Remove these and the iframe will disappear because it would have no dimensions. And you can’t fix this in your style sheet, unfortunately.
The width attribute means that, on a screen narrower than 560 pixels, the embedded content will protrude outside of its containing element, breaking the layout.
Fortunately there are a couple of possible solutions here.
Responsive video with CSS
With Thierry Koblenz’s excellent technique, you wrap the video in another element which has an intrinsic aspect ratio, then absolute position the video within that. That gives us fluid width with a reasonable height we can count on.
The above technique is awesome, but it has several possible limitations:
It requires wrapper element, so just straight up copy-and-pasting code from YouTube is out. Users will need to be a bit more saavy.
If you have legacy content and are redesigning to be fluid, all old videos need HTML adjustments.
All videos need to be the same aspect ratio. Otherwise they’ll be forced into a different aspect ratio and you’ll get the “bars”. Or, you’ll need a toolbox of class names you can apply to adjust it which is an additional complication.
If either of these limitations apply to you, you might consider a JavaScript solution. Imagine this: when the page loads all videos are looked at and their aspect ratio is saved. Once right away, and whenever the window is resized, all the videos are resized to fill the available width and maintain their aspect ratio.
FitVids.js
Until recently, most solutions were plugins, which are OK to an extent but can have performance issues. A popular plugin is FitVids.js, developed by Chris Coyier and Paravel.
FluidVids.js
A more current solution is to use just a script — such as FluidVids.js, developed by Todd Motto. FluidVids.js is simple to use and load faster:
Download the script (ZIP) from GitHub and upload it to your server with the same folder structure that the downloaded files come in. This will place the script itself in a folder named dist.
Ensure you place the script before the closing <body> tag.
<body>
<!-- html above -->
<script src="dist/fluidvids.js"></script>
<script>
// fluidvids module available
</script>
</body>
Pass in your configuration.
// fluidvids module available
<script>
fluidvids.init({
selector: ['iframe', 'object'], // runs querySelectorAll()
players: ['www.youtube.com', 'player.vimeo.com'] // players to support
});
</script>
To add other services like SlideShare to FluidVids:
players: ['www.youtube.com', 'player.vimeo.com', 'www.slideshare.net'] // players to support
That’s all you need to do to make videos resize on all devices that support JavaScript. It works not only for YouTube, but for Vimeo and even SlideShare too. The problem, however, is that if you users don’t have JavaScript support or the JavaScript hasn’t loaded yet or JavaScript hasn’t loaded correctly, the only fallback you can use is to add the following to your style sheet:
iframe {
max-width: 100%;
}
This will ensure that video resizes to the width of the browser’s window. But it won’t resize the video’s height; unfortunately, iframe just doesn’t work this way. So, the video won’t break your layout, but it won’t look very good either. This is not really a good option, so if you can avoid using JavaScript for videos, it’s a good idea to do so.
Other alternative EmbedResponsively.com
If you’re developing a responsive website using a content management system, then one or more of the website’s editors will probably have to embed video at some point. You can point your editors to EmbedResponsively.com which generates responsive <embed> codes for embedding rich third-party media with one click, with CSS alone. Alternatively, you could use a JavaScript solution, to relieve nervous editors from having to add extra CSS and markup. However, as long as you can avoid this path, the better, of course.
We can just use EmbedResponsively to generate the copy-paste-code with one click.
<div class="embed-container"> <!-- Your iframe content here --> </div>
Putting it all together
With the help of this tutorial not only YouTube or Vimeo iframe videos but you can even make other embed iframe content like SlideShare or Google Maps responsive. So let’s say we are in the position where we have lots of legacy content, which includes videos of all makes and models, and we’re redesigning our site to be fluid. The most efficient route is going to be combine everything we’ve learned in this article and put it together.

Twitter Archive Eraser allows you to automatically delete tweets in bulk from your timeline, or erase your whole twitter archive if you would like so.
Several tools exist to help you delete your old tweets but, most of them do not work properly, if at all, due to Twitter API’s limitations. Twitter imposes a limit of 3200 tweets (the more recent ones that is) that an application can access.
Twitter enabled the option for users to download their whole archive of tweets, which contains among other things the IDs of all the tweets of a user: the exact piece of information that can be used to erase tweet.
Thus, a simple application called “Twitter Archive Eraser” developed by Martani Fakhrou that helps you delete the oldest tweets from your timeline, or erase the whole archive too if you would like so.
Download and setup the Twitter Archive Eraser app by visiting the link given below:
Standalone (portable) version: This version requires no installation and can be run directly.
Installer version: The installer takes care of downloading the required libraries (.NET framework etc.), and installs the application to the start menu.
How to use “Twitter Archive Eraser”
The application is the simplest possible, it works in 3 steps: authenticate Twitter; select which tweets you want to delete; erase them.
Step 1
In this step, you give Twitter Archive Eraser access to your twitter account so that it can delete the tweets you select. This works by providing a PIN number that twitter provides after the authentication.
Note: You need to accept sharing several statistics to use Twitter Archive Eraser.
Step 2
After you download your Twitter archive (from https://twitter.com/settings/account) and you can load it directly as a zip file into Twitter Archive Eraser.
You can select which period of time you want to delete tweets from (grouped by month).
Step 3
Once you have selected the months, you are now presented with all the tweets in this period of time. By default, all the tweets are marked for deletion, if you want to keep any specific tweets, just uncheck them as shown in the following picture.
You can use regular expressions to filter specific tweets to check/uncheck them (you can click the “Erase?” checkbox on top to check uncheck all the filtered tweets).
You can also choose the degree of parallelism you want: that is how many tweets Twitter Archive Eraser deletes at a time: the more the better. Notice however that this parameter is limited by your network speed.
You can pause/resume the deletion process and check/uncheck tweets in between.
Common filtering expressions
Use the following filtering expressions (without quotes “”) to search for:
Retweets: “^RT”
Replies: “^@\w+”
Reply to user martani_net: “^@martani_net”
Mentions: “@\w+”
Mentions of user martnai_net: “@martani_net” This will possibly return Retweets also
Tweets containing a number with 4 digits or more: “\d{4}”
Sadly, this app works only with Windows OS and yet developer is not further planning to develop this app for any other OS like Mac or linux. But don’t worry you can use apps like VMware or VirtualBox to switch to Windows and use the Windows apps.
Video explaining how to use “Twitter Archive Eraser”

Mostly, all the PC users are aware of the 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) operating system (OS) architecture versions of existence, but they hardly pay attention towards the difference between the two. Keeping the bigger-is-better philosophy aside, sometimes you might consider that which OS version you should actually install and how it will be affecting the performance of your PC? Some tech geeks may recommend that you should you use a 64-bit version of Windows, but here comes a big question — why? According to some researchers and PC experts, the 64-bit version is more efficient and rates higher on performance over than the less capable 32-bit version.
The terms 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) refer to the way a computer’s processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system.
In this article, you’ll read about various aspects of 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) versions of Windows with a conclusion to draw a clear picture about which one you should install and why?
How to check which OS architecture version do you have?
To check out that which version of Windows you are currently running on, all you need to do is reach the ‘System Properties’ in ‘Control Panel.’ You can also right-click on ‘My Computer’ icon, and choose ‘Properties’ from the drop-down menu. Always remember that in order to make your system run on a 64-bit OS version, your CPU must support the same. PCs running on a modern CPU should be fine, but some of the budget PCs don’t include/support for a 64-bit processor.
Do 32-bit PCs really have a memory limit?
Since the 32-bit operating system doesn’t support more than 4096 MB of RAM, the memory is limited to that value only. If you’re running on a 32-bit system, each running process will be given not more than 4 GB of virtual memory to play with, out of which 2 GB of user space is already fixed. Apart from this, your video card and motherboard BIOS will also take some place in that same 4 GB space, which makes your system slow and lagging. According to tech experts, the modern chips support PAE, a processor technology to permit OS to use a little bit more memory. But, it also requires special application support that needs to be installed on the system.
It’s a myth that only Windows-specific users will face this issue however, the fact is 32-bit Linux and Mac OS X users also have the same limitations and the same workarounds. To prove the same, experts tested the 32-bit Linux that comes with a facility of mapping table to access the extra memory. Apple’s OS X Snow Leopard is shipped with a 32-bit kernel, by default, and can’t access all the memory.
What’s different in 64-bit and why is it better?
Packed with super-performance features, a 64-bit OS version provides access to 17.2 billion GB of the system’s memory. This clearly means no matter how heavy your video cards and other devices will be, it will neither steal the usable memory space not it will impact the performance of the device. Windows 64-bit Home editions can only have up to 16 GB of RAM, but the Professional and Ultimate editions enjoy the liberty to use up to 192 GB of RAM.
Giving importance to the per-process limit, Windows 64-bit version has offered each application the ability to access up to 8 TB of virtual memory without adding any special API or installing any software. Therefore, users can easily choose this OS architecture version for performing various heavy tasks such as video editing, running heavy application with graphics, or creating systems into virtual machines.
Windows 64-bit versions are more secure and user-protected as they come with a technology that restricts hijacking the kernel, and provides support for data execution protection (hardware-enabled).
Do 32-bit applications work on 64-Bit?
Fortunately, you will find that all your 32-bit applications work just fine on 64-bit Windows version. Since, 64-bit version includes WoW64 compatibility layer, the entire system switches the processor back and forth between 32-bit and 64-bit modes to access the thread that requires to be executed. This back and forth switching of the processor makes a 32-bit software run smoothly on the 64-bit environment. Nothing comes without exceptions in this world and so does the OS architectural versions. The 32-bit device drivers and low-level system applications may not work without a 64-bit equivalent.
The verdict: Which one should you actually use?
If your budget is not a concern and you’re ordering a new PC with more than 4 GB of RAM, then you should go for a 64-bit version of Windows. Since the version supports a lot of features and performance enhancements, opting for 32-bit version will be a biggest mistake that you can ever make. Buying a 64-bit version will make you use all of the available memory and let you install large video cards and other devices without impacting the performance of the device. You should always remember that Windows Home editions can only support RAM up to 16 GB hence, if you wish to go for more then buy Professional or Ultimate Windows editions.
Our theories of sadness have evolved significantly over the past few thousand years. Ancient Greek doctors believed that sadness was a black liquid coursing through the body. In fact, the word “melancholy” stems from the words “melaina kole,” Greek for “black bile.”
Though scientists now know more about how our bodies process emotions, we still don’t know exactly why we feel sadness. In this TED-Ed lesson, Courtney Stephens examines the history of sadness and offers a few explanations for why it might be a more useful emotion than we’d expect.
