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.

Possible solutions

var http = require('http');

module.exports = function (config) {
  console.log("Starting client");

  var client = http.request({
    host: config.remoteHost,
    port: config.remotePort,
    method: 'CONNECT',
    path: 'new'

One line Tree in Groovy

The other day, I saw Harold Cooper's One-line tree in Python via autovivication, and wondered if the same thing was possible in Groovy.

The answer is yes! But you need to define the variable tree before you can assign it to the self-referential withDefault closure, hence with Groovy, it's a two-line solution ;-)

Anyway, given:

def tree = { [:].withDefault{ owner.call() } }

# In GDB
p dup2(open("/tmp/stdout", 1), 1)
p dup2(open("/tmp/stderr", 1), 2)
