The future is here: Classless object-oriented programming in JavaScript.

Douglas Crockford, author of JavaScript: The Good parts, recently gave a talk called The Better Parts, where he demonstrates how he creates objects in JavaScript nowadays. He doesn't call his approach anything, but I will refer to it as Crockford Classless.

Crockford Classless is completely free of class, new, this, prototype and even Crockfords own invention Object.create.

I think it's really, really sleek, and this is what it looks like:

function dog(spec) {

import React, { PropTypes } from 'react';
import { TransitionMotion, spring } from 'react-motion';

/**
 * One example of using react-motion (0.3.0) within react-router (v1.0.0-rc3).
 *
 * Usage is simple, and really only requires two things–both of which are
 * injected into your app via react-router–pathname and children:
 *
 *   <RouteTransition pathname={this.props.pathname}>

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

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• A Turkish translation can be found here, contributed by agyild.
• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

• There are always 24 hours in a day.
• February is always 28 days long.
• Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).

import * as React from "react"
import { getRef } from "./getRef"

export default function App() {
  const rCanvas = React.useRef<HTMLCanvasElement>(null)

  React.useEffect(() => {
    const canvas = getRef(rCanvas)
    canvas.width = window.innerWidth
    canvas.width = window.innerHeight

Based on this blogpost.

To sign Git commits, you need a gpg key. GPG stands for GNU Privacy Guard and is the de facto implementation of the OpenPGP message format. PGP stands for ‘Pretty Good Privacy’ and is a standard to sign and encrypt messages.

Setting up

Install with Homebrew:

$ brew install gpg
