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

Using Grunt with a Cordova 3 project.

Grunt and Cordova 3

The advantages of using Grunt with Cordova:

  1. It simplifies working with the cordova cli.
  2. It provides a mechanism to copy platform customization to the platforms directory without having to commit the generated plugins and platforms directories to version control.
  3. It provides a way to watch resources and automatically run cordova commands.

Give network superpowers to docker

Unionize: network superpowers for your docker containers

Unionize lets you connect together docker containers in arbitrarily complex scenarios.

Note: I recommend to use https://github.com/jpetazzo/pipework instead.

  • pipework is a better name than unionize
  • it's hosted on a "real" github repo instead of a small gist :-)

Now if you want Unionize, it's still here. Just check those examples.

Ordering a query result set by an arbitrary list in PostgreSQL

I'm hunting for the best solution on how to handle keeping large sets of DB records "sorted" in a performant manner.

Problem Description

Most of us have work on projects at some point where we have needed to have ordered lists of objects. Whether it be a to-do list sorted by priority, or a list of documents that a user can sort in whatever order they want.

A traditional approach for this on a Rails project is to use something like the acts_as_list gem, or something similar. These systems typically add some sort of "postion" or "sort order" column to each record, which is then used when querying out the records in a traditional order by position SQL query.

This approach seems to work fine for smaller datasets, but can be hard to manage on large data sets with hundreds (or thousands) of records needing to be sorted. Changing the sort position of even a single object will require updating every single record in the database that is in the same sort group. This requires potentially thousands of wri
