Dynamically load JavaScript files with callback when finished
// Example:
JavaScript.load("/javascripts/something.js");
// With callback (that’s the good thing):
JavaScript.load("http://www.someawesomedomain.com/api.js", function() {
API.use(); // or whatever api.js provides ...
});

deleting array items in javascript with forEach() and splice()
// This is from my comment here: http://wolfram.kriesing.de/blog/index.php/2008/javascript-remove-element-from-array/comment-page-2#comment-466561
/*
* How to delete items from an Array in JavaScript, an exhaustive guide
*/
// DON'T use the delete operator, it leaves a hole in the array:
var arr = [4, 5, 6];
delete arr[1]; // arr now: [4, undefined, 6]

AngularJS renaming exercise
Because I think the hardest part of getting started with AngularJS is it's esoteric names, I'm suggesting the following replacements of the AngularJS terminology.
scope -> state
factory -> data/models
filter -> helper
directive {restrict: 'E'} -> custom_tag
directive {restrict: 'A'} -> custom_attribute

requiring npm modules in the browser console

demo gif

The final result: require() any module on npm in your browser console with browserify

This article is written to explain how the above gif works in the chrome (and other) browser consoles. A quick disclaimer: this whole thing is a huge hack, it shouldn't be used for anything seriously, and there are probably much better ways of accomplishing the same.

Update: There are much better ways of accomplishing the same, and the script has been updated to use a much simpler method pulling directly from browserify-cdn. See this thread for details: mathisonian/requirify#5

Don't use VPN services.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

  • There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Reading A Local JSON File With NativeScript

In NativeScript, the http module doesn't currently support making network requests to the local file system. That work is intended to be done by the file reader. It's pretty simple to read a local file and parse its contents as JSON.

This is the TypeScript/Promise version of what Emil Oberg created for the same question on StackOverflow. This module should be reusable for any and all asyncronous local JSON read operations.

import * as fs from 'file-system';

var documents = fs.knownFolders.currentApp();

class FileReader {
