   ruby ./patch-edid.rb

2. Reboot into recovery mode (hold down CMD-R while rebooting)

Typing vagrant from the command line will display a list of all available commands.

Be sure that you are in the same directory as the Vagrantfile when running these commands!

Creating a VM

• vagrant init -- Initialize Vagrant with a Vagrantfile and ./.vagrant directory, using no specified base image. Before you can do vagrant up, you'll need to specify a base image in the Vagrantfile.
• vagrant init <boxpath> -- Initialize Vagrant with a specific box. To find a box, go to the public Vagrant box catalog. When you find one you like, just replace it's name with boxpath. For example, vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64.

Starting a VM

• vagrant up -- starts vagrant environment (also provisions only on the FIRST vagrant up)

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:

var Article = require('../../../models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Difference between Debounce and Throttle

Debounce

Debounce a function when you want it to execute only once after a defined interval of time. If the event occurs multiple times within the interval, the interval is reset each time.
Example A user is typing into an input field and you want to execute a function, such as a call to the server, only when the user stops typing for a certain interval, such as 500ms.

Throttle
