Run Chrome headless

The good old PhantomJS times are over. The project is not maintained anymore and it is recommended to switch over to Chrome headless. Just run a local Selenium standalone server:

$ java -jar Sites/selenium-server-standalone-3.4.0.jar

# The cleanest way is to not use the system python at all (like rbenv for Ruby)

brew install python
pip2 install --upgrade pip setuptools
pip2 install --upgrade python-openstackclient

This will create a proxy server in whatever your availability zone your VPC is in. For me, that's us-east-1b. For you, that may be something different. Steps 10+ should more or less work regardless of your provider since those steps cover the setup and configuration of TinyProxy.

1. Click the Launch Instance button.
2. Choose Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (HVM), SSD Volume Type. This isn't strictly necessary. If you choose another OS, check its documentation for how to install new packages.
3. On the Choose an Instance Type screen, select t2.micro. It's Free Tier eligible.
4. Click the Next: ... buttons until you reach the Configure Security Group screen.
   • You may wish to reduce the amount of storage on the Add Storage screen. This is optional.
   • You may wish to add a tag on the Tag Instance screen. This is also optional.
5. On the Configure Security Group screen:

• Select Create a new security group.

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

Introduction

The MCP23017 is an I/O expander chip. It has 16 GPIO pins which you can control using an I2C interface using two pins from a Raspberry Pi, plus a power source and sink (which can also come from the Pi). It's not quite as simple as directly controlling the Pi's GPIO pins, but it's not complicated, either.

You need to install i2c-tools, which is probably in your distribution's package manager. You also need a kernel with I2C support; you might need to modprobe i2c-dev. It would presumably be possible to do without either of these things, and bitbang the I2C protocol over GPIO, but I don't understand the protocol well enough to try.

On pin numbering: if you like, you can refer to the datasheet for the MCP23017. There's a small dot in one corner of the chip, with a semi-circular cut-out at that end. The pin near
