Microsoft's stop-gap solution to fix IE 10 & 11's viewport on Windows Phone 8. I've also added another condition so it won't run on other browsers that spoof the user agent. Details: http://mattstow.com/responsive-design-in-ie10-on-windows-phone-8.html
(function() {
if ("-ms-user-select" in document.documentElement.style && navigator.userAgent.match(/IEMobile/)) {
var msViewportStyle = document.createElement("style");
msViewportStyle.appendChild(
document.createTextNode("@-ms-viewport{width:auto!important}")
);
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(msViewportStyle);
}
})();

// Attribution welcome, but not required. -- Pyry Jahkola.
// What's the point in all this? To get the equivalent of CoffeeScript's

// get(x, key1, key2, ...) -- Get the result of x[key1][key2]..., or undefined.
// Will short circuit if a key is not found.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
 // the rest of your code goes here.

These instructions work for the Raspberry Pi running Raspbian (hard float) and create a hardware optimized version of NodeJS for the Raspberry PI, (and include a working install and NPM!!!):

  1. Install Raspbian - http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads

  2. Install the necessary dependecies:

sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential

(If you just installed git then you need to administer your git identity first, else adding the patches below will fail!!!)
