Loader utils
- parseString: Parse a given string as if it were a JSON-encoded string, mapping single-quote string boundaries to double-quote boundaries or just flat-out making up those boundaries, so that JSON.parse doesn't complain. If cannot be parsed as JSON, just return the string as-is. Seems to be used to decode escape codes in a variety of (non-JSON) strings.
- urlToRequest: "Converts some resource URL to a webpack module request."
- isUrlRequest: "Before call urlToRequest you need call isUrlRequest to ensure it is requestable url"

Getting confused about the piles of development tools that people use for Javascript? Here's a quick index of what is used for what.

Keep in mind that you shouldn't add tools to your workflow for the sake of it. While you'll see many production systems using a wide range of tools, these tools are typically used because they solved a concrete problem for the developers working on it. You should not add tools to your project unless you have a concrete problem that they can solve; none of the tools here are required.

Start with nothing, and add tools as needed. This will keep you from getting lost in an incomprehensible pile of tooling.

Build/task runners

Typical examples: Gulp, Grunt

You don't need a blockchain.

If you're reading this, you probably suggested to somebody that a particular technical problem could be solved with a blockchain.

Blockchains aren't a desirable thing; they're defined by having trustless consensus, which necessarily has to involve some form of costly signaling to work; that's what prevents attacks like sybil attacks.

In other words: blockchains must be expensive to operate, to work effectively. This makes it a last-resort solution, when you truly have no other options available for solving your problem; in almost every case you want a cheaper and less complex solution than a blockchain.

In particular, if your usecase is commercial, then you do not need or want trustless consensus. This especially includes usecases like supply chain tracking, ticketing, and so on. The whole *p

How to install Node.js applications, if you're not a Node.js developer

While installing a Node.js application isn't difficult in principle, it may still be confusing if you're not used to how the Node.js ecosystem works. This post will tell you how to get the application going, what to expect, and what to do if it doesn't work.

Occasionally an application may have custom installation steps, such as installing special system-wide dependencies; in those cases, you'll want to have a look at the install documentation of the application itself as well. However, most of the time it's safe to assume that the instructions below will work fine.

If the application you want to install is available in your distribution's repositories, then install it through there instead and skip this entire guide; your distribution's package manager will take care of all the dependencies.

Recently, Let's Encrypt launched free wildcard certificates. While this is good news in and of itself, as it removes one of the last remaining reasons for expensive commercial certificates, I've unfortunately seen a lot of people dangerously misunderstand what wildcard certificates are for.

Therefore, in this brief post I'll explain why you probably shouldn't use a wildcard certificate, as it will put your security at risk.

A brief explainer

It's generally pretty poorly understood (and documented!) how TLS ("SSL") works, so let's go through a brief explanation of the parts that are important here.

The general (simplified) idea behind how real-world TLS deployments work, is that you:
