ACL / Roles + Permissions

https://github.com/djvirgen/virgen-acl Simple and elegant, create your own checks. No middleware?

https://github.com/OptimalBits/node_acl Use as middleware, create your own roles and access. Great choice.

https://github.com/tschaub/authorized Similar to connect roles... but a bit more robust? you can create roles and action, and associate many roles with that action

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.

How to connect PS3 controller to a Mac or PC

This is how you connect PS3 controller to Mac OSX, PC, etc. when previously connected to a PS3. You will need a Mini USB cable. Overcome your laziness, get up of your chair, and go get one!

A big misconception is that keep holding PS button will reset the controller's pairing. It DOES NOT! From my testings, the controller keeps paring with the last machine it was CONNECTED VIA A USB CABLE.

Here are the steps:

	First, install nginx for mac with "brew install nginx".

	Then follow homebrew's instructions to know where the config file is.

	1. To use https you will need a self-signed certificate: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ssl-certificate-self
	2. Copy it somewhere (use full path in the example below for server.* files)
	3. sudo nginx -s reload
	4. Access https://localhost/

	Edit /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:
