Fix "unsupported new OS, trying as if it were 10.6-10.7" from reattach-to-user-namespace on Mountain Lion (probably in tmux).
# Start by checking if they fixed it upstream:
brew update
brew upgrade reattach-to-user-namespace
# If it says it's already installed, they haven't fixed it upstream. So do this:
# Edit the recipe:
brew edit reattach-to-user-namespace

Better local require() paths for Node.js

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
