Uninstall nodejs from OSX Yosemite
# first:
lsbom -f -l -s -pf /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.pkg.bom | while read f; do sudo rm /usr/local/${f}; done
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules /var/db/receipts/org.nodejs.*
# To recap, the best way (I've found) to completely uninstall node + npm is to do the following:
# go to /usr/local/lib and delete any node and node_modules
cd /usr/local/lib
sudo rm -rf node*

Hurdles getting started with Ember.js

This is a brain dump of my experience trying to get something going with Ember.js. My goal was to get to know the ins and outs of the framework by completing a pretty well defined task that I had lots of domain knowledge about. In this case reproducing a simple Yammer feed. As of this time, I have not been able to complete that task. So this is a subjective rundown of the things I think make it difficult to get a handle on Ember. NOTE: My comments are addressing the Ember team and giving suggestions on what they could do to improve the situation.

App setup

The new guides have pretty good explanation of the various parts of the framework; routers, models, templates, views. But it's not clear how they all get strapped together to make something that works. There are snippets of examples all over the place like:

App.Router.map(function() {
  match('/home').to('home');
});

Integration testing of google analytics/kissmetrics script.

To easily explain, imaging you are developing google analytics or kissmetrics and you need to do integration testing of the javascript file. That's the file which people include on their website. Assume client also needs to push some events like signups to the web analytics tool (like kissmetrics) and javascript syntax would be _ga.push(['register', event, extra_data])

The challenge is that in you tests you can't run it from your application as it will share user session and it wouldn't test same origin policy.

Tools stack: Capybara, Webkit, Rspec, Sinatra

So the solution is to have a separate application which will act as a dummy client. I've chose sinatra as it fits perfectly for that role. One of the cool features that rack has is its ability to mount other rack applications inside it. So in run_dummy_client helper we mount sinatra application to /dummy_client path.

But that's not all. In order for this to work we need to run dummy client from different domain. That could be easily done through
