Here are several different ways to test a TCP port without telnet.

BASH (man page)

$ cat < /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/22
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.3
^C

$ cat &lt; /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/23

  ZigZag-Encoding
  ---------------
  
  Maps negative values to positive values while going back and
  forth (0 = 0, -1 = 1, 1 = 2, -2 = 3, 2 = 4, -3 = 5, 3 = 6 ...)

  (i >> bitlength-1) ^ (i << 1)

  with "i" being the number to be encoded, "^" being
  XOR-operation and ">>" would be arithemtic shifting-operation

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

Orthodox C++

What is Orthodox C++?

Orthodox C++ (sometimes referred as C+) is minimal subset of C++ that improves C, but avoids all unnecessary things from so called Modern C++. It's exactly opposite of what Modern C++ suppose to be.

Why not Modern C++?

Getting Started in Scala

This is my attempt to give Scala newcomers a quick-and-easy rundown to the prerequisite steps they need to a) try Scala, and b) get a standard project up and running on their machine. I'm not going to talk about the language at all; there are plenty of better resources a google search away. This is just focused on the prerequisite tooling and machine setup. I will not be assuming you have any background in JVM languages. So if you're coming from Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Haskell, or anywhere…  I hope to present the information you need without assuming anything.

Disclaimer It has been over a decade since I was new to Scala, and when I was new to Scala, I was coming from a Java and Ruby background. This has probably caused me to unknowingly make some assumptions. Please feel free to call me out in comments/tweets!

One assumption I'm knowingly making is that you're on a Unix-like platform. Sorry, Windows users.

Standardized Ladder of Functional Programming

The LambdaConf Ladder of Functional Programming (LOFP) is a standardized progression of different concepts and skills that developers must master on their journey to becoming expert-level functional programmers. LOFP can be used to rank workshops, talks, presentations, books, and courseware, so that aspiring functional programmers have a better understanding of what material is appropriate for them given their current experience.
