jmwhittaker / Localhost in VMWare VM
Created March 14, 2011 15:22
Get localhost working in VMWare
Connect to your Mac's localhost from within a VMWare virtual machine.
- Boot up VMware and fire up your VM (i'm using Windows 7)
- Make sure that the VM is using NAT
- Fire up the command prompt in Windows and type "ipconfig". IN the resulting text look for your IPv4 address. It will be something like 192.168.xxx.xxx
- Now go to your browser in your VM and type that ip address into the url bar but change the last set of digits to be 2 (or 1).
- so as an example if your ip was found to be 192.168.213.200 change it to be 192.168.213.2
- Assuming that your localhost is running on your mac you should get your localhost in your VM browser.
- If you need to add a non standard port number on the end like 8090 go ahead and do so.

HAML Partials wihout Rails (useful for LiveReload)
/ A simplistic way of loading and rendering HAML partials (header.haml, footer.haml, nav.haml... you name it) without Rails
/ Useful when using tools like LiveReload http://livereload.com/
/ but don't want to configure a web server just to use PHP include/require constructs (discussion http://help.livereload.com/discussions/questions/22-haml-partials)
/ It could be improved/simplified using a helper http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5436769/partial-haml-templating-in-ruby-without-rails/5436973#5436973
/ Check out the Jade version https://gist.github.com/2593727

Instructions on how to fix npm if you've installed Node through Homebrew on Mac OS X or Linuxbrew

OBSOLETE

This entire guide is based on an old version of Homebrew/Node and no longer applies. It was only ever intended to fix a specific error message which has since been fixed. I've kept it here for historical purposes, but it should no longer be used. Homebrew maintainers have fixed things and the options mentioned don't exist and won't work.

I still believe it is better to manually install npm separately since having a generic package manager maintain another package manager is a bad idea, but the instructions below don't explain how to do that.

Fixing npm On Mac OS X for Homebrew Users

Installing node through Homebrew can cause problems with npm for globally installed packages. To fix it quickly, use the solution below. An explanation is also included at the end of this document.

What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.

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

!DANGER!

This might void your warranty. Do it on your own risk.

I'm using the 🐟 emoji character as my SSID, because I like to be special.
