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

A script that gives you a playground for mastering vim
" copy all this into a vim buffer, save it, then...
" source the file by typing :so %
" Now the vim buffer acts like a specialized application for mastering vim
" There are two queues, Study and Known. Depending how confident you feel

Mina deployment file to setup new host for Rails applications. Creates the folder structure, fill up the database.yml file, create the associated DB and user and set up new Apache virtual host file.
require 'mina/bundler'

require 'mina/git'

# Usually mina focuses on deploying to one host and the deploy options are therefore simple.
# In our case, there is a number of possible servers to deploy to, it is therefore necessary to

Some useful Git aliases that I use every day
#
# Working with branches
#
# Get the current branch name (not so useful in itself, but used in
# other aliases)
branch-name = "!git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD"
# Push the current branch to the remote "origin", and set it to track
# the upstream branch
publish = "!git push -u origin $(git branch-name)"

Simple throttling of blocks using dispatch sources.

@interface JNWThrottledBlock : NSObject
// Runs the block after the buffer time _only_ if another call with the same identifier is not received
// within the buffer time. If a new call is received within that time period the buffer will be reset.
// The block will be run on the main queue.

// Identifier and block must not be nil.

Git pre-push hook to prevent force pushing master branch
#!/bin/sh
# Called by "git push" after it has checked the remote status,
# but before anything has been pushed.
#
# If this script exits with a non-zero status nothing will be pushed.
#
# Steps to install, from the root directory of your repo...
# 1. Copy the file into your repo at `.git/hooks/pre-push`
# 2. Set executable permissions, run `chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-push`

This is a guard that tracks down UIKit access on threads other than main. This snippet is taken from the commercial iOS PDF framework http://pspdfkit.com, but relicensed under MIT. Works because a lot of calls internally call setNeedsDisplay or setNeedsLayout. Won't catch everything, but it's very lightweight and usually does the job.You might n…
