ESM modules in node: npm edition

The proposal you’re about to read is not just a proposal. We have a working implementation of almost everything we discussed here. We encourage you to checkout and build our branch: our fork, with the relevant branch selected. Building and using the implementation will give you a better understanding of what using it as a developer is like.

Our implementation ended up differing from the proposal on some minor points. As our last action item before making a PR, we’re writing documentation on what we did. While I loathe pointing to tests in lieu of documentation, they will be helpful until we complete writing docs: the unit tests.

This repo also contains a bundled version of npm that has a new command, asset. You can read the documentation for and goals of that comma

Polyfillying the standard library when using babel-preset-env

• Overview of a workflow based on env: http://2ality.com/2017/07/npm-packages-via-babel.html
• env has the option useBuiltins that helps with polyfilling the standard library: https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env#usebuiltins

Browsers

Approach for untranspiled code (meant to be transpiled by Babel and, e.g., webpack):

• No package ever polyfills.

Tired of always having to enter your SSH key passphrase when logging in to remote machines? Here comes ssh-agent. Enter the passphrase once and it will keep it in memory for you

Using ssh-agent in your shell session:

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

from streams session

• end-of-stream - specify a callback to be called when a stream ends (which is surpsingly hard to get right)
• duplexify - compose a Duplex stream from a Readable and a Writable stream
• pump - pipe streams together and close all of them if one of them closes
• pumpify - combine an array of streams into a single duplex stream using pump and duplexify
• through2 - tools for making Transform streams
• from2 - tools for making Readable streams

This will create a proxy server in whatever your availability zone your VPC is in. For me, that's us-east-1b. For you, that may be something different. Steps 10+ should more or less work regardless of your provider since those steps cover the setup and configuration of TinyProxy.

1. Click the Launch Instance button.
2. Choose Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (HVM), SSD Volume Type. This isn't strictly necessary. If you choose another OS, check its documentation for how to install new packages.
3. On the Choose an Instance Type screen, select t2.micro. It's Free Tier eligible.
4. Click the Next: ... buttons until you reach the Configure Security Group screen.
   • You may wish to reduce the amount of storage on the Add Storage screen. This is optional.
   • You may wish to add a tag on the Tag Instance screen. This is also optional.
5. On the Configure Security Group screen:

• Select Create a new security group.

Trello CSS Guide

“I perfectly understand our CSS. I never have any issues with cascading rules. I never have to use !important or inline styles. Even though somebody else wrote this bit of CSS, I know exactly how it works and how to extend it. Fixes are easy! I have a hard time breaking our CSS. I know exactly where to put new CSS. We use all of our CSS and it’s pretty small overall. When I delete a template, I know the exact corresponding CSS file and I can delete it all at once. Nothing gets left behind.”
