When you hear the term startup accelerator you likely think of YCombinator, TechStars or 500 Startups. Accelerators traditionally cater to “unicorns” – companies that have the potential to be worth at least a billion dollars. This focus has made them successful in launching startups like DropBox, AirBnB, Stripe and Instacart. But what about founders whoRead More →

Bootstrap Icons v1.10.0 is here with nearly 150 new icons. This release includes tons of new variants for person, building, and database icons, plus new brands, rockets, road signs, globes, and many more. We’re now at over 1,900 icons!

150 new icons

Here’s a quick look at all the new icons in v1.10.0:

Some highlights for the new icons include:

• 22 new person icons
• 26 new house icons
• 24 new building icons, including a renamed building to buildings
• 22 new database icons
• 24 new street sign icons
• New globe icons
• New EV, taxi, bus, and scooter transportation icons
• New rockets
• and more!

We also fixed the fill rules for several some issues across the docs, including:

We’ve deviated from developing v5.3.0 to ship a new patch release, Bootstrap v5.2.3, with a handful of more urgent bug fixes.

Highlights

• Added the missing :root CSS variables to our utilities bundle
• Fixed the deprecation warning with Sass 1.56.0
• Fixed the RTL translate() direction for carousels
• Fixed tooltip and popover disposal inconsistencies

We’re heading right back to it with v5.3.0 with support for color modes, new utilities, and more. Look for a pre-release of that soon.

It’s a Christmas miracle—Bootstrap v5.3.0-alpha1 has arrived just in time for the holiday break! This release brings new color mode support, an expanded color palette with variables and utilities, and more.

We’re keeping things short and simple in this blog post with deeper dives into the new color modes and more coming in future posts. For now, we want you to enjoy the holiday break and come back next year feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Keep reading for what’s new and we’ll see you next year!

Our second alpha release of v5.3.0 has landed with a ton of enhancements and bug fixes for our new color modes! There’s still more to come, but we’ve held off shipping until we ironed out enough issues. Huzzah, we have!

This v5.3.0 release is a monumental update for Bootstrap 5. It’s big enough that it could’ve been a v6 on its own, but we wanted to do right by the community and get color modes out the door without the massive major release upgrade. We’re getting super close now, so bear with us as we continue to chip away at this.

Hot on the heels of our second alpha, we’re releasing a third (and unexpected) alpha for v5.3.0 today with some fixes for some Node Sass compilation errors. In addition, we’ve added a handful of other updates. We’re still on target to ship our stable release soon!

Once again, if you’re new to the v5.3.0 alpha releases, please read through the Migration guide for the first alpha and last month’s second alpha.

Here’s a look at what’s changed in this quick release:

It’s official, the final stable release of v5.3.0 has landed! It’s been a monumental effort to revamp our codebase for CSS variables and color modes, one that will see continued changes leading up to an eventual Bootstrap 6. And we’re so excited to finally ship it!

On top of all the work that’s gone into this release, a lot has happened behind the scenes since we shipped our pre-releases. Keep reading to learn everything that’s new in v5.3.0.

Bootstrap v5.3.1 is here with bug fixes, documentation improvements, and more follow-up enhancements for color modes. Keep reading for the highlights!

• Color modes:
  • Increased color contrast for dark mode by replacing $gray-500 with $gray-300 for the body color
  • Added our color mode switcher JavaScript to our examples ZIP download
• Components:
  • Improved disabled styling for all .nav-links, providing .disabled and :disabled for use with anchors and buttons
  • Add support for Home and End keys for navigating tabs by keyboard
  • Added some basic styling to toggle buttons when no modifier class is present
  • Fixed carousel colors in dark mode
• Forms:
  • Fixed floating label disabled text color
• Utilities:
  • .text-bg-* utilities now use CSS variables
• Sass:
  • Add new $navbar-dark-icon-color Sass variable
  • Removed duplicate $alert Sass variables

Bootstrap v5.3.2 is here with bug fixes, documentation improvements, and more follow-up enhancements for color modes. Keep reading for the highlights!

Highlights

• Passing a percentage unit to the global abs() is deprecated since Dart Sass v1.65.0. It resulted in a deprecation warning when compiling Bootstrap with Dart Sass. This has been fixed internally by changing the values passed to the divide() function. The divide() function has not been fixed itself so that we can keep supporting node-sass cross-compatibility. In v6, this won’t be an issue as we plan to drop support for node-sass.
• Using multiple ids in a collapse target wasn’t working anymore and has been fixed.

Color modes

• Increased color contrast of form range track background in light and dark modes.
• Fixed table state rendering for color modes with a focus on the striped table in dark mode to increase color contrast.
• Allow <mark> color customization for color modes.

Docs

• Added alternative CDNs section in Getting started -> Download.
• Added Discord and Bootstrap subreddit links in README and Getting started -> Introduction:
  • Discord maintained by the community
  • Bootstrap subreddit

Bootstrap v5.3.3 is here with bug fixes, documentation improvements, and more follow-up enhancements for color modes. Keep reading for the highlights!

Highlights

• Fixed a breaking change introduced with color modes where it was required to manually import variables-dark.scss when building Bootstrap with Sass. Now, _variables.scss will automatically import _variables-dark.scss. If you were already importing _variables-dark.scss manually, you should keep doing it as it won’t break anything and will be the way to go in v6.
• Fixed a regression in the selector engine that wasn’t able to handle multiple IDs anymore.

Color modes

• Badges now use the .text-bg-* text utilities to be certain that the text is always readable (especially when the customized colors are different in light and dark modes).
• Fixed our color-modes.js script to handle the case where the OS is set to light mode and the auto color mode is used on the website. If you copied the script from our docs, you should apply this change to your own script.
• Fixed color schemes description in the color modes documentation to show that color-scheme() only accept light and dark values as parameters.

Miscellaneous

• Allowed <dl>, <dt> and <dd> in the sanitizer.
• Dropped evenly items distribution for modal and offcanvas headers.
• Fixed the accordion CSS selectors to avoid inheritance issues when nesting accordions.
• Fixed the focus box-shadow for the validation stated form controls.
• Fixed the focus ring on focused checked buttons.
• Fixed the product example mobile navbar toggler.
• Changed the RTL processing of carousel control icons.

Docs

• Dropped unnecessary right margin for example code blocks.
• Fixed emphasis text utilities usage in background utilities examples section.
• Added an technical explanation on how to render an accordion expanded by default.
• Changed Vite config path import in Vite guide.
• Enhanced the card image description of the .card-img-* classes.
• Mentioned shift-color() function in the Sass customization page among tint-color() and shade-color().
• Added missing type="button" attribute to the Cheatsheet examples navigation buttons.
• Updated the colors table in the customization page to be responsive.

Introduction

Ngx-Bootstrap has released a package of open-source tools which are native Angular directives for Bootstrap 3 and 4. It contains all core components powered by Angular. In this article, we will learn about the Typehead component which is a cool feature of Ngx-bootstrap.

What Is Typeahead?

Typeahead — Also known as autocomplete or autosuggest is a language prediction tool that many search interfaces use to provide suggestions for users as they type in a textbox. This is a method for searching and filtering through text. It is also sometimes known as autocomplete, incremental search, search-as-you-type, and inline search.

A bootstrap assist circuit and a startup circuit comprising a voltage controlled switch and a startup ramp voltage generator connected to the voltage controlled switch that will control a high side switch, a dimming interface or an enable/disable input function. Said system is used to provide a bootstrap technique to continuously switch a floating high side switch (MOSFET) by continuously charging a capacitor and then “level shifting” said capacitor voltage across the gate and source of the said high side switch to turn the switch on.

Abstract:
We address the issue of performing testing inference in small samples in the class of beta regression models. We consider the likelihood ratio test and its standard bootstrap version. We also consider two alternative resampling-based tests. One of them uses the bootstrap test statistic replicates to numerically estimate a Bartlett correction factor that can be applied to the likelihood ratio test statistic. By doing so, we avoid estimation of quantities located in the tail of the likelihood ratio test statistic null distribution. The second alternative resampling-based test uses a fast double bootstrap scheme in which a single second level bootstrapping resample is performed for each first level bootstrap replication. It delivers accurate testing inferences at a computational cost that is considerably smaller than that of a standard double bootstrapping scheme. The Monte Carlo results we provide show that the standard likelihood ratio test tends to be quite liberal in small samples. They also show that the bootstrap tests deliver accurate testing inferences even when the sample size is quite small. An empirical application is also presented and discussed.

Abstract:
We review bootstrap methods in the context of survey data where the effect of the sampling design on the variability of estimators has to be taken into account. We present the methods in a unified way by classifying them in three classes: pseudo-population, direct, and survey weights methods. We cover variance estimation and the construction of confidence intervals for stratified simple random sampling as well as some unequal probability sampling designs. We also address the problem of variance estimation in presence of imputation to compensate for item non-response.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a numerical bootstrap method that is consistent in many cases where the standard bootstrap is known to fail and where the $m$-out-of-$n$ bootstrap and subsampling have been the most commonly used inference approaches. We provide asymptotic analysis under both fixed and drifting parameter sequences, and we compare the approximation error of the numerical bootstrap with that of the $m$-out-of-$n$ bootstrap and subsampling. Finally, we discuss applications of the numerical bootstrap, such as constrained and unconstrained M-estimators converging at both regular and nonstandard rates, Laplace-type estimators, and test statistics for partially identified models.

Abstract:
Suppose that a confidence region is desired for a subvector $ heta $ of a multidimensional parameter $xi =( heta ,psi )$, based on an M-estimator $hat{xi }_{n}=(hat{ heta }_{n},hat{psi }_{n})$ calculated from a random sample of size $n$. Under nonstandard conditions $hat{xi }_{n}$ often converges at a nonregular rate $r_{n}$, in which case consistent estimation of the distribution of $r_{n}(hat{ heta }_{n}- heta )$, a pivot commonly chosen for confidence region construction, is most conveniently effected by the $m$ out of $n$ bootstrap. The above choice of pivot has three drawbacks: (i) the shape of the region is either subjectively prescribed or controlled by a computationally intensive depth function; (ii) the region is not transformation equivariant; (iii) $hat{xi }_{n}$ may not be uniquely defined. To resolve the above difficulties, we propose a one-dimensional pivot derived from the criterion function, and prove that its distribution can be consistently estimated by the $m$ out of $n$ bootstrap, or by a modified version of the perturbation bootstrap. This leads to a new method for constructing confidence regions which are transformation equivariant and have shapes driven solely by the criterion function. A subsampling procedure is proposed for selecting $m$ in practice. Empirical performance of the new method is illustrated with examples drawn from different nonstandard M-estimation settings. Extension of our theory to row-wise independent triangular arrays is also explored.

Abstract:
Several new methods have been recently proposed for performing valid inference after model selection. An older method is sample splitting: use part of the data for model selection and the rest for inference. In this paper, we revisit sample splitting combined with the bootstrap (or the Normal approximation). We show that this leads to a simple, assumption-lean approach to inference and we establish results on the accuracy of the method. In fact, we find new bounds on the accuracy of the bootstrap and the Normal approximation for general nonlinear parameters with increasing dimension which we then use to assess the accuracy of regression inference. We define new parameters that measure variable importance and that can be inferred with greater accuracy than the usual regression coefficients. Finally, we elucidate an inference-prediction trade-off: splitting increases the accuracy and robustness of inference but can decrease the accuracy of the predictions.

Abstract:
In this article, we present data-subsetting algorithms that allow for the approximate and scalable implementation of the Bayesian bootstrap. They are analogous to two existing algorithms in the frequentist literature: the bag of little bootstraps (Kleiner et al., 2014) and the subsampled double bootstrap (Sengupta et al., 2016). Our algorithms have appealing theoretical and computational properties that are comparable to those of their frequentist counterparts. Additionally, we provide a strategy for performing lossless inference for a class of functionals of the Bayesian bootstrap and briefly introduce extensions to the Dirichlet Process.
