 * Bugs often appear in async code when stuff gets disposed, but async operations don't get canceled.
 * This Async helper class solves these issues by tying async code to the lifetime of a disposable object.
 *
 * Usage: Anything class extending from BaseModel can access this helper via this.async. Otherwise create a
 * new instance of the class and remember to call dispose() during your code's dispose handler.

Overview

We run multiple server processes in two data centers. Each process listens on two ports, one for HTTP and one for HTTPS. HTTPS is terminated by Apache prior to reaching node.js. HTTP goes directly from the client to node.js (through a master load balancer). We do not use clusters. We slice our physical servers into thin virtual machines running SmartOS, each with about 3GB of memory designed for a single node.js process.

Our node.js servers are hapi.js servers using the composer functionality and plugins architecture. We have three sets of plugins loaded: mobile web front end experience (single page app), legacy API reverse proxy, and monitoring.

We also serve original node.js services off another server zone which runs closed source plugins using hapi.

OEmbed Liquid Tag for Jekyll

This is a simple liquid tag that helps to easily embed images, videos or slides from OEmbed enabled providers. It uses Magnus Holm's great oembed gem which connects to the OEmbed endpoint of the link's provider and retrieves the HTML code to embed the content properly (i.e. an in-place YouTube player, Image tag for Flickr, in-place slideshare viewer etc.). By default it supports the following OEmbed providers (but can fallback to Embed.ly or OoEmbed for other providers):

• Youtube
• Flickr
• Viddler
• Qik
• Revision3
• Hulu
• Vimeo

Using *:empty to Troubleshoot Your CSS
Nicole Ramsey is a freelance developer for An Event Apart and QA Lead for Modern Tribe. She still views source when possible, wishes she could remember all shortcuts without a cheat sheet, and fusses with her dotfiles more than is necessary. Here, she shares a CSS troubleshooting tip:

One of the simplest, but most useful, tools in my QA toolkit is the *:empty pseudo selector. This selector affects elements that contain either nothing or only an HTML comment. Caveats: This won’t catch elements if there is whitespace and it will false-positive catch <img> elements.

Example

*:empty {border: 5px solid red;}

<p>Awesome content</p>
