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

volsay: Wrapper around OSX's `say' command, which sets the system volume to the requested level, then restores volume / mute state once speech is complete.
#!/bin/bash
function usage() {
echo "usage: $0 <volume (0-100)> <say args...>"
echo
echo "Unmutes and sets the system volume to volume%, passing the remaining"
echo "arguments to the OSX \`say' command, restoring volume / mute setting"
echo "to previous values after the speech has completed."
exit 1
