June Update - Kaizen & Time Warrior

By K -
Last wednesday group of 7 people (progres! :) meet and talked about book and I found it really fun to organize it. 
Unfortunately One book that I wanted to read last month was to big for me (SICP). Right now I'm at about 60% of it...   About 50% I have decided to read something lighter and make small break. For that I have started One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way


Filozofia Kaizen: This if Polish translation of this short book and I found it really fun and easy to read. I like how agile (even agilemanifesto) it is. I have read for those small little ideas in this book. I'm still thinking how practical it is in the long term without help of coach/friend that would help you decide what you want to do and when to change this one small thing to something slightly bigger.
Takeout: Try revolutionary changes in life but if failed go to Kaizen (or start with it) and build habit fixing you life one small/silly problem at a time!


Time Warrior by Steve Chandler. This one is hard to rate. There are good advices and ideas, I can admit that but they are mixed with some author beliefs, stories that are not really connected and sometimes you realize that this is just truisms (everyone knows it) and it's easy to feel ok with both points of view but this doesn't make them real or working!
Takeaways: Decision changes everything! Procrastination is lack of decision. Just decide what you want to do, example with plane to New York in 2 hours is really good. After you make decision the only thing thats left is to deal with it :)

Advanced English on Memrise. I have finished it (learned one round) but right now I need to deal with refreshing my knowledge and that means about 100 words each day. 
Course itself is not so good. Many polish descriptions are to generic and hard to distinguish. There is no audio for english words so I only know how to write them. Besides that it's 400+ new words for me and course is still getting bigger. 


SICP: As I mentioned above its 60% of book now so I will make my priority to read it till the end this month!


June:

  1. Wedding
  2. SICP
  3. Water courses on Memrise
NO Martial arts till end of month :(

I'm right now trying to build a habit at getting up at 5:xx AM and exercise every day. Most of the time works really good :) It's much easier to start a day with exercise than do something at the evening :)

I'm not going to write any more plans for this month. I would have enough work to know that there is no point in that. 
See you next month :)

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

By K -

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:

Safari Mobile CSS VW and VH units bug.

Recently we have created new version of mobil.aftenposten.no but soon after serving it to some users we spot this tweet:  https://twitter.com/Al3x4nd3rR/status/452047498111369216 . Basically titles were missing.... Then it started our effort to reproduce this bug. ... It was nightmare! First how to reproduce it: Open  http://krzychukula.github.io/vw_bfcache/  in Mobile Safari.  Click "Go to another page" link Leave phone for 60 seconds (longer is better) Click back button If you were lucky you should see some missing paragraphs and missing green boxes. How it looks: Bug: This one uses vw and vh for font-size. Both are 0 so we can see only 2 from 8 paragraphs. Those two are using only em for font-size. I was curious if it's only for font-size so I have added another test. I have added two boxes with width and height set in vw and vh with green background color. They parents have red background for contrast.  Most of t
