[url=http://hackerwins.github.io/summernote/]Summernote[/url] is pretty cool if you need html. Pagedown is a decent one for markdown, although i think markdown support is on the roadmap for summernote as well.

Been working on a new [url=http://www.getchef.com/]chef[/url] setup for spoonfedstyle.com since Thursday. Currently the site runs off a single server, but there are some issues with that because when the crawler runs it obliterates cpu on the server when it's doing image processing for all the thumbnails.

I decided to break the crawler out to run on a separate server to completely eliminate that problem, and decided I'd do the same with redis/postgres/neo4j (all my db apps) at the same time.

Now I have...
- The ability for any server run redis/postgres/neo4j or any combination thereof.
- The ability to run nginx/puma to serve the rails app on any server I want
- The web servers automatically have environment variables set that point to the postgres/neo4j/redis servers, no matter which server they are running on
- Firewall rules automatically get added to allow ONLY the web nodes to access and of the db nodes, this is automated to the point where I never need to actually tell the web servers where the db nodes are

I still need to get sidekiq and the crawler running on a third server, but that's the easy part now that this is all done :)

I was really not looking forward to getting all this shit written, but I've had a lot of fun with it since I dove in. Chef is crazy powerful.

Have to make a website from scratch for ICT exam about the Maori language, I'm quite happy with this.

Javascript changes content. Teacher said nobody has done it but it might get me extra marks.

Has anyone here on facepunch used Macaw? In its early stage that is out?

Probably going to get it no matter what, but wanted to know what other people think about it. Especially from those who have used it.

[djjkxbox360]

I haven't used it but from what I've seen and heard it's great, I'm definitely going to buy it

It could use a better navigation.

First, I'm going to honestly say scrap the "valid" element. It's pretty pointless.

Second, get rid of those borders on the buttons, it might split things but they're thick and not filling the container.

I made [url]http://project-orion.tk/[/url] around July last year IIRC, it's an example you could follow for a full-side navigation. (Although when I made it I used an absolute width, keep using min-width)

[t]http://i.imgur.com/tL6X4qW.png[/t]

Also, so that the user knows that what they're hovering over is being recognized, you could use a

element:hover { }

effect on it in the stylesheet. I recommend it, it adds to the aesthetics.

[buhbang]

if you're just too lazy to look for a color scheme that matches you can just do

 element:hover {
background: rgba(0,0,0,.4);
}

and just adjust the opacity

Ye that's why I find the GPL/MIT/etc licenses too libre. It allows for shit like this.
I'm fine with people creating derivatives of work but blatantly stealing it and then selling it/making a profit is just rude.

But 2048 is not licensed under the GPL - it's [url=https://github.com/gabrielecirulli/2048/blob/master/LICENSE.txt]licensed under the MIT license[/url], which allows you to do pretty much anything with the code as long as you include the license text somewhere.

If it were licensed under the GPLv3 and people would provably violate this license - which might be unlikely, as some of those apps are actually fairly unique Java ports - it would probably be possible to contest them.

Besides, this is more of an intellectual property problem than anything else, as people are reusing 2048's game concept to profit on its popularity. It's a dick move, really.

Most clone apps are not java ports they are a clone of the repo with a wrapper around it.
Also 99% of all the clone apps are litterly that. A git clone of the repo with a wrapper

No, I don't think it's 99%. Quite a few of these are very likely to be wrapped versions, but if you simply look at the list of related apps for the app you linked to, you find complete rewrites, too. Here's a non-comprehensive list. Note that I didn't install any of these - I'm just making a vague guess whether they are rewrites or not, based on the screenshots and descriptions.

[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meltingrocks.kivy2048]com.meltingrocks.kivy2048[/url] - Based on the Kivy framework, which uses Python. The description says: "It uses OpenGL, so it's faster than the HTML version"
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by.game.binumbers]by.game.binumbers[/url] - Seems to be a complete rewrite
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uberspot.a2048]com.uberspot.a2048[/url] - Wrapped, but with no ads and with full attribution, and open source
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digiplex.game]com.digiplex.game[/url] - Rewrite in Java, see description: "- Completely native"
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estoty.game2048]com.estoty.game2048[/url] - Seems to be a rewrite, as continuing to play after winning was added after the app initially came out
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.endemion.game2048]com.endemion.game2048[/url] - Seems to be a rewrite as well, as spawning animations were added after the app came out
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phonegap.game2048]com.phonegap.game2048[/url] - Could possibly be a wrapped and modified version
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nich01as.g1024.game]com.nich01as.g1024.game[/url] - Wrapped and translated into Chinese
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.szemisun.tiles2048]com.szemisun.tiles2048[/url] - Dunno
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=im.delight.a2048]im.delight.a2048[/url] - Seems wrapped

I'm now downloading the APKs and checking their content for hints whether they are rewrites or not.

Whoops. Fortunately, I did manage to delete this stuff after becoming root. This is pretty odd, considering I definitely didn't use sudo while extracing these files. The files were owned by me, and yet, even "rm -rf" didn't work. The modification dates are also apparently set to the epoch for some crazy reason. Well, this is one hell of a funky archive.

[editline]25th March 2014[/editline]

The results are in. Or at least a part of them - I used [url=http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/?id=com.nich01as.g1024.game]this site[/url] to download the APK of each app. After 7 apps, it gave up, claiming that the download quota is reached. I'll have to try again later, I guess... They do offer a browser extension to help with downloading APKs yourself. Unfortunately, it asks you for your Google account details, including your password. That's one bad attempt at phishing.

[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meltingrocks.kivy2048]com.meltingrocks.kivy2048[/url]: Definitely rewritten. The "assets" folder contains a file called "private.mp3", which is not an MP3, but a .tar.gz file. After decompressing it, you can find Python modules, some of them containing the game's compiled bytecode.
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by.game.binumbers]by.game.binumbers[/url]: Complete Java-based rewrite.
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uberspot.a2048]com.uberspot.a2048[/url]: Wrapped, obviously.
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digiplex.game]com.digiplex.game[/url]: Complete Java-based rewrite.
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estoty.game2048]com.estoty.game2048[/url]: Seems to be a complete Java-based rewrite, based on [url=http://www.cocos2d-x.org/]Cocos2d-x[/url].
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.endemion.game2048]com.endemion.game2048[/url]: Complete Java-based rewrite.
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phonegap.game2048]com.phonegap.game2048[/url]: Wrapped and modified version, containing original source code. This version appears to violate the MIT license; at least, I couldn't find anything when grepping for "mit" or "gabr".

Seems like I was wrong then. It's only 50% that has been wrapped. Cool to see that some people actually take some effort. It's cool to see that a bunch of them mention Terabyte_s and ask people to donate to him etc. Although some claim to be the original and give him no credit:
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kamalyon.original2048]com.kamalyon.original2048[/url]
[url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yassine.at2048]com.yassine.at2048[/url]
There used to be one [url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gabriele.cirulli.puzzle]that flatout claimed to me made by Terabyte_s[/url]

I personally still like 1024. It feels like a different game also it's a lot harder.
Funny to see how fast this took off.

Also you can get the apk by downloading the app and then using adb.

Licensing something under an open source license is not the same as putting it in the public domain. Users must abide to the license terms, or they are not allowed to use the software. Some people think they can just go nuts with the source code, but companies have been successfully sued before for not abiding the terms of GPL licenses. For instance, the creator of BusyBox, Erik Andersen, has [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox#GPL_lawsuits]successfully sued several companies[/url] because they included BusyBox on their embedded devices without providing its source code.
