    libdispatch efficiency tips

The libdispatch is one of the most misused API due to the way it was presented to us when it was introduced and for many years after that, and due to the confusing documentation and API. This page is a compilation of important things to know if you're going to use this library. Many references are available at the end of this document pointing to comments from Apple's very own libdispatch maintainer (Pierre Habouzit).
My take-aways are:


You should create very few, long-lived, well-defined queues. These queues should be seen as execution contexts in your program (gui, background work, ...) that benefit from executing in parallel. An important thing to note is that if these queues are all active at once, you will get as many threads running. In most apps, you probably do not need to create more than 3 or 4 queues.


Go serial first, and as you find performance bottle necks, measure why, and if concurrency helps, apply with care, always validating under system pressure. Reuse

    1. Gemfile

gem 'browserify-rails', '1.5.0' # until fix: https://github.com/browserify-rails/browserify-rails/issues/101
gem 'react-rails'
Browserify-rails allows to use browserify within assets pipeline. React-rails is here only to allow to use #react_component (and thus, prerendering).
Note that jquery-rails can be removed from Gemfile, the npm version of jquery and jquery-ujs will be used instead.

                How to break (and re-enable) the native accessibility "delete" action for table views
              
          
    If you've haven't seen it before, there is a cool accessibility feature in UITableView that allows the user to toggle between different actions. It's really very elegant and it's a powerful and convenient implementation for VoiceOver users on iOS. One could say that it's the VoiceOver version of the swipe-to-delete feature.
To try it out yourselves, open one of the built in apps like Mail or Notes and turn on VoiceOver. If you are afraid to accidentally delete some of your important notes or email, you can also create a new Master-Detail Application in Xcode and run it on your device. Navigate to one of the cells and use the "Rotor" (rotate with two fingers on the screen) to find the "Actions" item. Now you can swipe up and down do toggle between "Activate Item (default action)" and "Delete". If you now double tap, the cell gets deleted instead of selected.

This is the default behavior and you get this accessibility out of the box with UITableView.

    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.
