Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...

Node.js TCP client and server example
/*
In the node.js intro tutorial (http://nodejs.org/), they show a basic tcp
server, but for some reason omit a client connecting to it. I added an
example at the bottom.
Save the following server in example.js:

Github Two-Factor Authentication Failed For HTTPS

I heard from GitHub Two-Factor Authentication](https://github.com/blog/1614-two-factor-authentication) nearly a couple of days ago when I was reading my RSS feed. I enabled it and couldn' push to any of my repositories anymore. Learn in this blog post how to fix it.

Two-Factor Authentication

"Is a process involving two stages to verify the identity of an entity trying to access services in a computer or in a network". Github solves this authentication with sending an SMS to a device which wants to push to their platform.

What are Javascript Generators?

##what are generators##

  • They're pausable functions, pausable iterable functions, to be more precise
  • They're defined with the *
  • every time you yield a value, the function pauses until .next(modifiedYieldValue) is called
var myGen = function*() {
  var one = yield 1;
  var two = yield 2;
  var three = yield 3;
 console.log(one, two, three);

Javascript Shorthand Coding Techniques

My (@pongstr) opinion about shorthand coding techniques

Shorthand code is not really a replacement for normal coding but it is very handy and useful in some cases. There are tons of opinions and debates around this but, again it all comes down what is necessary for your codebase and using it responsibly.

Why I'm Not A JavaScript Developer

Answering the Front-end developer JavaScript interview questions to the best of my ability.

  • Explain event delegation

Sometimes you need to delegate events to things.

  • Explain how this works in JavaScript

This references the object or "thing" defined elsewhere. It's like "hey, thing I defined elsewhere, I'm talkin' to you."

  • Explain how prototypal inheritance works.
