I've written numerous tiny databases. They don't have much features, but they don't need much features. Usually I'm looking for fast simple key/value stores and Node never disappoints. The point here is, why abstract key value store when JS gives us one for free, as it's most basic component: object.

Will it meet every need? No. But it will meet ALOT of scenarios.

In memory JS object lookups, were talking hundreds of thousands of lookups (you'll easily flood http before the db), and save hundreds of thousands of records in a JSON file written to disk. Not a 200ms r/t to some hosted Redis. Hey, that's fine if that's your thing.

Here's the requirements:

This a follow-up alternative to my constructor API proposal, with a possible implementation at my Constructor.js repo.

JavaScript function-first programmers argue that we should stop using constructor functions in JavaScript, for reasons that are incomprehensible to me.

They boil down to "use of new, prototype, and this is an anti-pattern."

There is nothing wrong with any of that, other than the inability to distinguish between between factory functions and constructors.

Examples that follow are taken/modified from (see Custom types (classes) using object literals in JavaScript

How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

One of the best ways to reduce complexity (read: stress) in web development is to minimize the differences between your development and production environments. After being frustrated by attempts to unify the approach to SSL on my local machine and in production, I searched for a workflow that would make the protocol invisible to me between all environments.

Most workflows make the following compromises:

Use HTTPS in production but HTTP locally. This is annoying because it makes the environments inconsistent, and the protocol choices leak up into the stack. For example, your web application needs to understand the underlying protocol when using the secure flag for cookies. If you don't get this right, your HTTP development server won't be able to read the cookies it writes, or worse, your HTTPS production server could pass sensitive cookies over an insecure connection.
Use production SSL certificates locally. This is annoying

	Music For Hackers
	==

	To a hacker, there's something distracting about booting up a GUI to listen to your tunes. You live your life in the terminal, you treat the mouse like a high voltage tap.

	So give these commands a run in the terminal, and toss on your headphones.

	sudo apt-get install mplayer
	echo "alias defcon-start='nohup mplayer http://sfstream1.somafm.com:6200 > /dev/null 1>&2 &'" >> ~/.bashrc
	echo "alias defcon-stop='killall -9 mplayer'" >> ~/.bashrc
