How to: Allow Node to bind to port 80 without sudo

TL;DR

Only do this if you understand the consequences: all node programs will be able to bind on ports < 1024

sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/local/bin/node

Important: your node location may vary. Use which node to find it, or use it directly in the command:

JavaScript Crypto Libraries

List some crypto libraries for JavaScript out there. Might be a bit out dated. Scroll to the bottom.

WebCryptoAPI

http://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/

This specification describes a JavaScript API for performing basic cryptographic operations in web applications, such as hashing, signature generation and verification, and encryption and decryption. Additionally, it describes an API for applications to generate and/or manage the keying material necessary to perform these operations. Uses for this API range from user or service authentication, document or code signing, and the confidentiality and integrity of communications.

Possibly Unhandled Rejection NodeJS Promise Hook

###Unhandled Rejection Tracking

Several promise libraries such as bluebird and when as well as some native promise implementations offer potentially unhandled rejection tracking. This means that the following:

Promise.reject(new Error("err")); // never attach a `catch`

Why

Doing require extensions correctly is essential, because:

1. Users should be able to install multiple extensions in succession, and have them work together.
2. Coverage tools like nyc need it to reliably supply coverage information that takes into account sourcemaps from upstream transforms.
3. Because non-standard, un-predictable behavior causes hard to solve bugs, and major headaches for project maintainers.

What is a require extension anyways?
