How to Disable Hiding of Menu items in Ubuntu

By K -

For me this feature of hiding menu items in global menu is just annoying. Maybe there are people that doesn't need it, but I do, and it makes me longer to get there if I event can't see where it should be...

So how to see menu items all the time?

First install compiz-config:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager








Then install revamped config: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/07/disable-global-menu-autohide-behaviour.html



Next open ubuntu config as in post above but open Experimental tab and at the bottom check "Menu Always Visible".



















That's it :)








But if you just doesn't want this you can remove it all together: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/disable-the-global-menu-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/

   Using Node.js you want to use NPM packages for reusable parts of the apps you create, that is a common sense. At the same time not everything makes sense as a public module unfortunately. Right now we are using Bitbucket at work for private repositories but there is a problem. How to use them as NPM modules? We do not want to publish them to the public npmjs.org but still want to have an ability to install them easily.   After googling and experimenting I have found simple solution.  First create new user in your organization with obscure password and give it read access to the repo. It is best to assign really obscure password but do not fool yourself. This is convenient but you must sacrifice security a bit. You should always consider how in your context that would be important.   Change example from below to:  user - username  PASS - password of the user  organization - owner of the project (you can find it in bitbucket url to your project)  project - your project name   "de

How to simulate slow connection (developer proxy in Node.js)

Update: If you use Chrome then you can use "Throttling" so simulate slow network for all your assets. This should be easier than proxy.     Toggle device mode    Choose Network type.  Refresh the page          https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/device-mode      Proxy:     For some time I wanted to use some proxy for development and testing of eg. slow internet connection, but it was hard to find something useful and free. I know there is Charles but buy it to use it at most one in a month is not for me.   I started thinking about Node.js, maybe I can write proxy for me? But fortunately I found one.   https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy   With this module I can write really short code to create slow server:     var http = require('http'),     httpProxy = require('http-proxy');  httpProxy.createServer(function (req, res, proxy) {      var buffer = httpProxy.buffer(req);      setTimeout(function () {     proxy.proxyRequest(req, res, {       host:
