Everything I Know About UI Routing

Definitions

1. Location - The location of the application. Usually just a URL, but the location can contain multiple pieces of information that can be used by an app
   1. pathname - The "file/directory" portion of the URL, like invoices/123
   2. search - The stuff after ? in a URL like /assignments?showGrades=1.
   3. query - A parsed version of search, usually an object but not a standard browser feature.
   4. hash - The # portion of the URL. This is not available to servers in request.url so its client only. By default it means which part of the page the user should be scrolled to, but developers use it for various things.
   5. state - Object associated with a location. Think of it like a hidden URL query. It's state you want to keep with a specific location, but you don't want it to be visible in the URL.

Set up Python 3 and new virtual environment

A beginner's guide

This guide covers how to install and upgrade Python 3 and how to create and an install into a Python virtual environment.

This is best practice in Python for both local and production code, as it isolates the scope where your python commands and pip commands run, protecting your global environment and allowing your to manage multiple virtual environments each with their own set of unique Python packages.

Laravel alternatives in NodeJS

These are alternative packages/frameworks in NodeJS that cover some of the primary features in Laravel. This is by no means a comprehensive list of Laravel features (or a comprehensive list of NodeJS alternatives).

Depending on your perspective, this list either shows how it's possible to switch from Laravel to NodeJS or shows why you'd want to stay with Laravel 😃

Frontend Technical Interview Prep

EDIT: Well this has been linked now so just an FYI this is still TBD. Feel free to comment if you have suggestions for improvements. Also here is an unrolled Twitter thread of a lot of the tips I talk about on here.

I've been doing frontend for a while now and one thing that really gripes me is the interview. I think the breadth of knowledge of a "Frontend Engineer" has been so poorly defined that people really just expected you to know everything. Many companies have made this a hybrid role. The Web is massive and there are many MANY things to know. Some of these things are just facts that you learn and others are things you really have to understand.

Every time I interview, I go over the same stuff. I wanted to create a gist of the TL;DR things that would jog my memory and hopefully yours too.

Lots of these things are real things I've been asked that caught me off guard. It's nice to have something you ca

Launching iTerm2 from macOS Finder

(Based on info from Peter Downs' gitub but with modified behavior to open a new terminal window for each invocation instead of reusing an already open window.)

The following three ways to launch an iTerm2 window from Finder have been tested on iTerm2 version 3+ running on macOS Mojave+.

Open iTerm from finder

The code and instructions in this gist are from http://peterdowns.com/posts/open-iterm-finder-service.html. I've had to do this a few times and wanted to distill it the basics.

1. Open Automator
2. Create an Application
3. Choose Actions > Utilities > Run Applescript
4. Paste the contents of open_in_iterm.app into the window.
5. Save the script somewhere convenient
6. Find the script, then drag the script onto the Finder window while holding the command key (or in Yosemite, the command + option keys)
