#The power of z

Do you spend lots of time doing things like this?

With z, you could just do this:

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.

This sample is based on Mike Bostock's Box Plots. The box.js file has been modified in a number of ways besides making the box plots horizontal: the transitions have been removed, the 1.5 iqr function is included as the default to compute the whisker length, data objects are attached to the whisker ends and outlier dots (instead of just the values), and there are transparent q1-q2 and q2-q3 boxes that contain those respective data points for possible future use.

Hovering over outlier dots in the boxplot highlights them on the table and vice-versa. This also demonstrates a move-to-front functionality -- when an outlier circle is highlighted, it is moved to the end of the svg's elements so that it appears on top of the other outliers.

Also, the axis rounds its range to intervals that go into a power of 10 (see the cleanUpChartRange function).

The variable being plotted is a generated logNoraml distribution, to demonstrate outliers more prominently (sometimes there are so many, the table gets cut

This gist is no longer in use.

This is a quick tutorial explaining how to get a static website hosted on Heroku.

Why do this?

Heroku hosts apps on the internet, not static websites. To get it to run your static portfolio, personal blog, etc., you need to trick Heroku into thinking your website is a PHP app. This 6-step tutorial will teach you how.

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.
