Create a repo.

Make sure there is at least one file in it (even just the README.md)

Generate a SSH key pair (private/public):

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

If you prefer to watch video tutorials with live-coding, then check out this series I recorded with the same contents as in this article: Egghead.io - Introduction to Reactive Programming.

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

tmux shortcuts & cheatsheet

start new:

tmux

start new with session name:

tmux new -s myname

Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns             
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs

	# put this in your ~/.gitconfig, then issue `git lg` will get you a pretty git branch topology view
	#
	# this is just a start point, customizations can be done by further fine tuning referencing
	# https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log & https://git-scm.com/docs/pretty-formats
	#
	# --graph draws the git commits tree
	# --date=local is used in the following --format
	#
	# format explanation:
	# %C(colorname)xxx%C(reset) encloses text `xxx` with color `colorname`

	# Remove anything linked to nvidia
	sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
	sudo apt-get autoremove

	# Search for your driver
	apt search nvidia

	# Select one driver (the last one is a decent choice)
	sudo apt install nvidia-370
