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

bash wget - check if file exists at url before downloading
#!/bin/bash
# simple function to check http response code before downloading a remote file
# example usage:
# if `validate_url $url >/dev/null`; then dosomething; else echo "does not exist"; fi
function validate_url(){
if [[ `wget -S --spider $1 2>&1 | grep 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK'` ]]; then echo "true"; fi
}

Install scientific Python (inc. IPython) on virgin Mac OS X 10.8
## Prerequisites
# Latest Xcode
# Latest Apple command line utilities
# Homebrew (check 'brew doctor')
# 20+ minutes (new machine with SSD – hours on our lab's 2008 Mac Pro)
## Commands (instead install scipy superpack?)
brew install python # Symlinking may well be problematic – use 'brew link --overwrite python' if necessary)
pip install virtualenv
pip install virtualenvwrapper

fast loading of a large dataset into leveldb
// data comes from here http://stat-computing.org/dataexpo/2009/the-data.html
// download 1994.csv.bz2 and unpack by running: cat 1994.csv.bz2 | bzip2 -d > 1994.csv
// 1994.csv should be ~5.2 million lines and 500MB
// importing all rows into leveldb took ~50 seconds on my machine
// there are two main techniques at work here:
// 1: never create JS objects, leave the data as binary the entire time (binary-split does this)
// 2: group lines into 16 MB batches, to take advantage of leveldbs batch API (byte-stream does this)
