Secure random values (in Node.js)

Not all random values are created equal - for security-related code, you need a specific kind of random value.

A summary of this article, if you don't want to read the entire thing:

  • Don't use Math.random(). There are extremely few cases where Math.random() is the right answer. Don't use it, unless you've read this entire article, and determined that it's necessary for your case.
  • Don't use crypto.getRandomBytes directly. While it's a CSPRNG, it's easy to bias the result when 'transforming' it, such that the output becomes more predictable.
  • If you want to generate random tokens or API keys: Use uuid, specifically the uuid.v4() method. Avoid node-uuid - it's not the same package, and doesn't produce reliably secure random values.
  • If you want to generate random numbers in a range: Use random-number-csprng.

You should seriously consider reading the entire article, though - it's

Multiple MySQL Versions with Homebrew

Multiple MySQL Versions for Development

Options included below:

  • Using Docker docker-compose
  • Using Homebrew brew

Using Docker (recommended)

This gist was originally created for Homebrew before the rise of Docker, yet it may be best to avoid installing mysql via brew any longer. Instead consider adding a barebones docker-compose.yml for each project and run docker-compose up to start each project's mysql service.

You may be asking yourself "why didn't this idiot just use Sphinx, Xapian or Hyper Estraier?". The decision to use MySQL Full-Text Search was based on the fact that this is a smallish project with minimal full-text searching needs. I felt that the requirements didn't warrant downloading/compiling/installing software, monitoring daemons/processes, rebuilding indices, and all the other crap that comes with the big boys of full-text indexing. Don't get me wrong I love Sphinx and Xapian, having used both on several projects, but I wanted something with a little less ceremony. Plus I'm always up for learning something new.
