This is a no-brainer to get your single-post web page up and running. Just have to have Node and NPM installed, and /bin/sh pointing to Bash shell. Styling is powered by 999.css.

Steps:

1. Place the below package.json into an empty directory and enter this directory in your command line prompt.
2. Run npm run scaffold.
3. Edit domain, title and author in the config section of your package.json. The domain may be either a Surge subdomain or your own (please refer to the Surge docs). If you're going to host your page yourself, you may leave domain empty.

Linux Backup Solutions

I've been looking for the best Linux backup system, and also reading lots of HN comments.

Instead of putting pros and cons of every backup system I'll just list some deal-breakers which would disqualify them.

Also I would like that you, the HN community, would add more deal breakers for these or other backup systems if you know some more and at the same time, if you have data to disprove some of the deal-breakers listed here (benchmarks, info about something being true for older releases but is fixed on newer releases), please share it so that I can edit this list accordingly.

• It has a lot of management overhead and that's a problem if you don't have time for a full time backup administrator.

Essential JavaScript Links

I no longer mantain this list. There are lots of other very comprehensive JavaScript link lists out there. Please see those, instead (Google "awesome JavaScript" for a start).

I've developed a useful feature in KeystoneJS that lets you populate a relationship from either side, while only storing the data on one side, and am looking for feedback on whether it is something that could / should be brought back into mongoose itself. (It might be possible to add as a separate package but I suspect there'd be too much rewriting of mongoose internals for that to be a good idea).

I've added this as an issue in mongoose for consideration: #1888 but am leaving this gist in place because the examples are easier to read.

I've used Posts and Categories as a basic, contrived example to demonstrate what I'm talking about here; in reality you'd rarely load all the posts for a category but there are other real world cases where it's less unreasonable you'd want to do this, and Posts + Categories is an easy way to demo it.

The problem

The built-in population feature is really useful; not just for

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

var cacheBustSuffix = Date.now();

// Optionally, expose the cache busting value as a constant so other parts of your app can use it.
ngModule.constant("cacheBustSuffix", cacheBustSuffix);
