Minimum Viable Async with Node 6

With the release of Node 6.0.0, the surface of code that needs transpilation to use ES6 features has been reduced very dramatically.

This is what my current workflow looks like to set up a minimalistic and fast microservice using micro and async + await.

Principles of Adult Behavior

1. Be patient. No matter what.
2. Don’t badmouth: Assign responsibility, not blame. Say nothing of another you wouldn’t say to him.
3. Never assume the motives of others are, to them, less noble than yours are to you.
4. Expand your sense of the possible.
5. Don’t trouble yourself with matters you truly cannot change.
6. Expect no more of anyone than you can deliver yourself.
7. Tolerate ambiguity.
8. Laugh at yourself frequently.

Stuff I wish I'd known sooner about service workers

I recently had several days of extremely frustrating experiences with service workers. Here are a few things I've since learned which would have made my life much easier but which isn't particularly obvious from most of the blog posts and videos I've seen.

I'll add to this list over time – suggested additions welcome in the comments or via twitter.com/rich_harris.

Use Canary for development instead of Chrome stable

Chrome 51 has some pretty wild behaviour related to console.log in service workers. Canary doesn't, and it has a load of really good service worker related stuff in devtools.

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Fix absolutely positioned divs when people turn their phones sideways

The problem

In Safari, if you have a layout container that's absolutely positioned to take up, at a minimum, its whole container (which isn't unheard of in "appey" internet home page thingies) using CSS like this:

@marisamorby and I are going to walk through the swag store we’ve been building for Gatsby to show off the tech stack (Peril, Gatsby, Auth0, Shopify, MailChimp, GitHub, custom REST API) and show off the new swag that's coming for Gatsby — and how all Gatsby contributors can get it for free!

Download HumbleBundle books

This is a quick Python script I wrote to download HumbleBundle books in batch. I bought the amazing Machine Learning by O'Reilly bundle. There were 15 books to download, with 3 different file formats per book. So I scratched a quick script to download all of them in batch.

(Final Result: books downloaded)
