* Better handling of scripts without supplied ids.

Retaining Git history of subdirectory from parent repository

Subdirectory Git Repository

This is a mini howto on moving a subdirectory to its own repository retaining history

Howto

Assume PARENT is the original parent Git repository (locally) and CHILD is the new local repository that you wish to create from a subdirectory, retaining all of its history from the PARENT repository; PARENT_PATH and CHILD_PATH are the paths to PARENT and CHILD respectively; SUBDIR is the relative path within the repository under extraction:

  1. git clone --no-hardlinks PARENT_PATH CHILD_PATH
  2. pushd CHILD_PATH

Compress PDF files with ghostscript

This can reduce files to ~15% of their size (2.3M to 345K, in one case) with no obvious degradation of quality.

ghostscript -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf

Other options for PDFSETTINGS:

  • /screen selects low-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Screen Optimized" setting.
  • /ebook selects medium-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "eBook" setting.
  • /printer selects output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Print Optimized" setting.
  • /prepress selects output similar to Acrobat Distiller "Prepress Optimized" setting.

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions
