Update node.js via Homebrew while keeping npm 1.x (fix for yeoman webapp generator which was failing under npm 2.x beta)
# various Yeoman generators (generator-webapp) are failing due to using npm 2.x beta with errors
# like "grunt 1.4.x" peer dependency not met (when in fact the dependency is met).
# fix for me was to upgrade node, but install npm separately, since upgrading node automatically installs latest npm which is 2.x
# to install latest node
brew update
brew install node --without-npm
# to install latest 1.x branch of npm

Deploying Rails 4.2 App on Heroku

My notes on creating a Rails 4.2 app for hosting on Heroku. With RSpec and Postgresql.

# Install RVM, Ruby and Bundler
...

# Install Rails
gem install rails --no-ri --no-rdoc

# Create new app without Test::Unit, and for Postgresql (for Heroku)

rails new MYAPP --skip-test-unit --database=postgresql

Raspberry PI Setup

Download latest Raspbian and write to SD card

# identify the disk (not partition) of your SD card. e.g. disk4 (not disk4s1)
diskutil list
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/<disk# from diskutil>   # e.g. diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk4
sudo dd bs=1m if=<your image file>.img of=/dev/<disk# from diskutil>
# e.g. sudo dd bs=1m if=2012-12-16-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/disk4
(This will take a few minutes)
