July Update - SICP, The Modern Web, Functional JavaScript

By K -
This will be short update!

Books that I will talk about on today's ReadingClub:


SICP
Really good and hard book. Right now I stumble upon many ideas that I read in SICP in very different places :)  Most of it is around Functional Programming and Clojure but still.


The Modern Web by Peter Gasston
Really good book about newest API's. It's still fresh so it's worth to read it! 


Awesome book! It's great to see how I've been fooled :)



Being Geek by Michel Loop
I was disappointed by this one. It's mostly about geek being team leader or manager. I'm not so much interested in it. 


Functional JavaScript by Michael Fogus
I have really high expectations about this book but unfortunately I feel that I miss something in it. Probably context of me and author are too different. One of the ideas in book started to make sense to me while learning more about Clojure. I think that I will spent some time with Clojure to know more about Functional Programming in general.



Memrise: Advanced Vocabulary (3/19 levels)
Really slow speed of mine... At least I have read more books this month ;)

Next Month:

  1. js13kgames - Write a game!
  2. You Are Now Less Dumb by David MacRaney
  3. Clojure - Functional Programming for the JVM
  4. Memrise: Advanced Vocabulary
  5. Go back to martial arts trainings
  6. TODO: Buy and read book about canvas/html5 games

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
