OBSOLETE

This entire guide is based on an old version of Homebrew/Node and no longer applies. It was only ever intended to fix a specific error message which has since been fixed. I've kept it here for historical purposes, but it should no longer be used. Homebrew maintainers have fixed things and the options mentioned don't exist and won't work.

I still believe it is better to manually install npm separately since having a generic package manager maintain another package manager is a bad idea, but the instructions below don't explain how to do that.

Fixing npm On Mac OS X for Homebrew Users

Installing node through Homebrew can cause problems with npm for globally installed packages. To fix it quickly, use the solution below. An explanation is also included at the end of this document.

I think the lack of reusability comes in object-oriented languages, not functional languages. Because the problem with object-oriented languages is they’ve got all this implicit environment that they carry around with them. You wanted a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle.

If you have referentially transparent code, if you have pure functions-- all the data comes in its input arguments and everything goes out and leaves no state behind-- it's incredibly reusable. You can just reuse it here, there, and everywhere.

	How to Clean Up Google Contact Numbers
	If your Gmail contact phone numbers are unorganized, this Excel formula can help you remove format the mobile phone numbers.
	Note: I added a 1 for US numbers. I like my numbers formatted this way.

	1. Export the numbers you want to clean to CSV (Use Google CSV)
	2. Open in Excel. The U2 column was Mobile Phone column for the file I downloaded.
	3. Place this formula starting in the V2 column (this will replace the Pager column, which I did not need) and copy downwards to do the same formula replacement.
	=IF((LEFT(U2,0,1)="1"),SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(U2," ",""),".",""),")",""),"(",""),"-",""),CONCATENATE("1",SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(U2," ",""),".",""),")",""),"(",""),"-",""))
	4. Copy from V2 (downwards) and do a Paste Special starting on U2 with "Value". This will replace your previous values for mobile phone with the clean ones.
	5. Save.
