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

App configuration in environment variables: for and against

For (some of these as per the 12 factor principles) 

1) they are are easy to change between deploys without changing any code

2) unlike config files, there is little chance of them being checked
into the code repo accidentally

3) unlike custom config files, or other config mechanisms such as Java

Combining snapshot testing and component library

Do you test presentational logic of your components? No? Yes, but you feel like you are writing a lot of dummy tests? You even probably use snapshot tests for that, but don't feel like you make enought value from them..

If so, click 🌟 button on that Gist!

I'll talk how our team is using snapshot testing to iterate faster,

Installing MTGA on macOS using Wine, and making it look pretty!

The following instructions are heavily inspired by /u/uhohohdear. I modified uhohohdear's instructions and then added support for Retina/HiDPI displays and instructions about how to update MTGA.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: This will no longer work if you upgrade to macOS Catalina, as Wine and Wineskin are 32-bit. I'll update this Gist with 64-bit versions when they become available.

We're back in business!

It appears that the workarounds no longer work. A few people with Macs using Nvidia graphics cards are having success, but Macs with Intel and AMD GPUs crash regularly. At this time, the best way to play Arena on Mac is via Boot Camp or GeForce Now.
