Applications of Cognitive Theory in Data Modeling and Software Design

Written as both a refresher course on the mechanics of cognition in human psychology, and as the beginning of a working theory, wherein one might make some deductions from human psychology to broadly advance/improve the design of server software and data models for the industry en masse.

What's the point of this? I think psychology will inevetiably instruct the future of software design, in the same way neurobiology is beginning to impact the hardware engineering industry. >

Virtual Hosts on nginx (CSC309)

When hosting our web applications, we often have one public IP address (i.e., an IP address visible to the outside world) using which we want to host multiple web apps. For example, one may wants to host three different web apps respectively for example1.com, example2.com, and example1.com/images on the same machine using a single IP address.

How can we do that? Well, the good news is Internet browsers

Running CouchApps on PouchDB in the browser using service workers

What is this?

A description of how to run an existing CouchApp on PouchDB in the browser using service workers - without any modifications to existing code being necessary! The best thing is that if service workers aren't available, the CouchApp will still run as normal: that is, online.

HTML5 Audio Player w/ Responsive Playlist

I changed this!

This is an HTML5 audio player that detects the user agent of your device/browser/OS and applies styling that matches the native audio player. The playlist responds to the width of your screen and features basic UI controls.

Feel free to fork this pen and add your own user agent styles for different browsers, devices and operating systems.

Technocratic Oath

I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:

I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those ~~physicians~~ in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.

I will apply, for the benefit of the ~~sick~~ user, all measures which are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.

I will remember that there is art to ~~medicine~~ software as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the ~~surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug~~ need for another dependency.
