Business models based on the compiled list at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4924647. I find the link very hard to browse, so I made a simple version in Markdown instead.

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

# You're meant to read through this
# configuraton file rather than simply
# copying it to your home directory.
#
# There are some places where you're
# meant to uncomment something if you
# want to use it in your TMUX.
#
# I hope it's readable.

Cron helper
#!/bin/bash
usage() {
cat << EOF
Usage: $0 [OPTION]... COMMAND
Execute the given command in a way that works safely with cron. This should
typically be used inside of a cron job definition like so:

This is my technical interview cheat sheet. Feel free to fork it or do whatever you want with it. PLEASE let me know if there are any errors or if anything crucial is missing. I will add more links soon.

ANNOUNCEMENT

I have moved this over to the Tech Interview Cheat Sheet Repo and has been expanded and even has code challenges you can run and practice against!

Notes for taking the 1Z0-061 Oracle Exam - Oracle Database 12c: SQL Fundamentals

Introduction

I have compiled these notes whilst revising for the Oracle 1Z0-061 Exam - Oracle Database 12c: SQL Fundamentals. They should also be relevant to the 1Z0-051 - Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals exam. Revision was most conducted using the excellent and highly recommended "OCA Oracle Database 12c SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide" by Roopesh Ramklass.

I have aimed to include include in these notes common "gotchas" and easy to forget functionality rather than documenting everything required for the exam. This can then be used as a quick refresher before walking into the exam.

The content is broken up into sections with each heading mapping to the relevant [Oracle 1Z0-061 exam topics](https://edu

Rust Libraries for Robotics

Motivation

tl;dr I want to use Rust to program robots. Help me find the best core libraries to build on.

Robotic systems require high performance and reliability, but also have enormous complexity in terms of algorithms employed, number of subsystems, embedded hardware control, and other metrics. Development is mostly split between C++ for performance and safety critical components, and MatLab or Python for quick research or task iteration.
