December Update

By K -
This month I managed to finish:




Watched all How To Draw videos on HowCast

Rating: 5/10





The Tree Butcher by Andrzej Pilipiuk
This is really nice collection of 12 short stories. Andrzej Pilipiuk have endless ideas how history could have been, how aliens may live and even how magic may work. This is really good book:)
Rating: 8/10


Tricket by Kevin Hearne
In my opinion this is best book in a series so far. For sure it is the longest :) Fast and easy to read, it's hard to resist reading when you start so it's really good to read on holiday :)

Trapped by Kevin Hearne
This one fortunately starts at the good time, but I think a little that this book could be better. Ending was unexpected but probably explains why next book is called Hunted ;)
From me: 6/10.



The Wit and Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister. Autor: George R. R. Martin.
This one is not really a book in itself, it's just a series of quotes from his other books. It itself it's fun to read for all of fans of Tyrion Lannister character :)
Rating: 5/10.

How to use NPM packages from private repositories on bitbucket

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:
