FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

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

DISTINCT ON like functionality for Redshift

distinct column -> For each row returned, return only the unique members of a set. Think of it as for each row in a projection, concatenate all the column values and return only the strings that are unique.

test_db=# SELECT DISTINCT parent_id, child_id, id FROM test.foo_table ORDER BY parent_id, child_id, id LIMIT 10;
parent_id | child_id | id
