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:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Auto-deploying built products to gh-pages with GitHub Actions

This is a set up for projects which want to check in only their source files, but have their gh-pages branch automatically updated with some compiled output every time they push.

A file below this one contains the steps for doing this with Travis CI. However, these days I recommend GitHub Actions, for the following reasons:

• It is much easier and requires less steps, because you are already authenticated with GitHub, so you don't need to share secret keys across services like you do when coordinate Travis CI and GitHub.
• It is free, with no quotas.
• Anecdotally, builds are much faster with GitHub Actions than with Travis CI, especially in terms of time spent waiting for a builder.

# set prefix to control-f
set -g prefix C-f

#unbind system defined prefix
unbind C-b

# helps in faster key repetition
set -sg escape-time 0

# start session number from 1 rather than 0

React - Functional error boundaries

Thanks to React hooks you have now happily turned all your classes into functional components.

Wait, all your components? Not quite. There is one thing that can still only be implemented using classes: Error boundaries.

There is just no functional equivalent for componentDidCatch and deriveStateFromError yet.

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

还记得 Haskell Curry吗，

多巧啊, 人家姓 Curry 名 Haskell, 难怪 Haskell 语言会自动柯里化, 呵呵. 但是不奇怪吗, 为什么要柯里化呢. 为什么如此重要导致 Haskell 会默认自动柯里化所有函数, 不就是返回一个部分配置好的函数吗.

我们来看一个 Haskell 的代码.

module.exports = and ES6 Module Interop in Node.js

The question: how can we use ES6 modules in Node.js, where modules-as-functions is very common? That is, given a future in which V8 supports ES6 modules:

• How can authors of function-modules convert to ES6 export syntax, without breaking consumers that do require("function-module")()?
• How can consumers of function-modules use ES6 import syntax, while not demanding that the module author rewrites his code to ES6 export?

@wycats showed me a solution. It involves hooking into the loader API to do some rewriting, and using a distinguished name for the single export.

This is me eating crow for lots of false statements I've made all over Twitter today. Here it goes.
