PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

• -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
• -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

Apparently array.filterBy creates a new array based on the filtered content, whether Ember.Computed.filterBy reuses the same array.

This difference can be very important when you display a filtered list with {{each}} helper.

For eaxample, if you define the propery like this:

  filteredArray: function(){
    return this.get('content').filterBy('isDone', false);
  }.property('content.@each.isDone')

Ember Router Async Facelift

The Ember router is getting number of enhancements that will greatly enhance its power, reliability, predictability, and ability to handle asynchronous loading logic (so many abilities), particularly when used in conjunction with promises, though the API is friendly enough that a deep understanding of promises is not required for the simpler use cases.

Anonymous Open Letter to the Ember.js Core Team

Disclaimer: I've been using Ember for quite some time now, about when 0.9.8 was released, which means I'm not a random hater using backbone or angular.

I do believe Ember is the best thing out there, but I want to point out some things which really piss me off.

Most of them are based on the fact that the core team doesn't seem to be organized and doesn't prioritize the right things. Here are couple of examples:

• Ember Extension was a great idea, there were couple of videos released with it, everyone loved it, but the project has been dead for 2 months now. There are 11 open issues, many of them for a few months without any response from the core team.

How to make faster scroll effects?

• Avoid too many reflows (the browser to recalculate everything)
• Use advanced CSS3 for graphic card rendering
• Precalculate sizes and positions

Beware of reflows

The reflow appens as many times as there are frames per seconds. It recalculate all positions that change in order to diplay them. Basically, when you scroll you execute a function where you move things between two reflows. But there are functions that triggers reflows such as jQuery offset, scroll... So there are two things to take care about when you dynamically change objects in javascript to avoid too many reflows:
