A Node + TypeScript + ts-node + ESM experience that works.

The experience of using Node.JS with TypeScript, ts-node, and ESM is horrible.

There are countless guides of how to integrate them, but none of them seem to work.

Here's what worked for me.

Just add the following files and run npm run dev. You'll be good to go!

How to setup a practically free CDN using Backblaze B2 and Cloudflare

⚠️ Note 2023-01-21
Some things have changed since I originally wrote this in 2016. I have updated a few minor details, and the advice is still broadly the same, but there are some new Cloudflare features you can (and should) take advantage of. In particular, pay attention to Trevor Stevens' comment here from 22 January 2022, and Matt Stenson's useful caching advice. In addition, Backblaze, with whom Cloudflare are a Bandwidth Alliance partner, have published their own guide detailing how to use Cloudflare's Web Workers to cache content from B2 private buckets. That is worth reading,

How to clean up your Git branches

Clean up local branches 🏚

Prune merged branches

Delete all local branches which are merged to master (or whatever branch you choose to checkout)

git checkout master
git branch --merged | egrep -v "(^\*|master|dev)" | xargs git branch -d

Benchmarking is Hard, Yo.

So, I was reading Why You shouldn’t use lodash anymore and use pure JavaScript instead, because once upon a time, I shifted from Underscore to Lodash, and I'm always on the lookout for the bestest JavaScript stdlib. At the same time, there was recently an interesting conversation on Twitter about how some of React's functionality can be easily implemented in modern vanilla JS. The code that came out of that was elegant and impressive, and so I have taken that as a message to ask if we really need the framework.

Unfortunately, it didn't start out well. After copy-pasting the ~100 lines of code that Lodash executes to perform a find, there was then this shocking claim: Lodash takes 140ms, and native find takes 0ms.

Git credential cache, why type password again and again

Tired of entering password again and again ?

Run this command to remember your password:

git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout 28800'

Above command will tell git to cache your password for 8 hours.
