Bare minimum Chrome extension to inject a JS file into the given page when you click on the browser action icon. The script then inserts a new div into the DOM.
// this is the background code...
// listen for our browerAction to be clicked
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function (tab) {
// for the current tab, inject the "inject.js" file & execute it
chrome.tabs.executeScript(tab.ib, {
file: 'inject.js'
});
});

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

git utility to move/rename file or folder and retain history with it.
#!/bin/bash
#
# git-mv-with-history -- move/rename file or folder, with history.
#
# Moving a file in git doesn't track history, so the purpose of this
# utility is best explained from the kernel wiki:
#
# Git has a rename command git mv, but that is just for convenience.
# The effect is indistinguishable from removing the file and adding another
# with different name and the same content.

Internet Explorer quirk: HTML entities in URLs

Try going into your browser console and typing:

window.location = 'http://causes.com/?a=true&not_a=false'

Now look at your address bar. What you see depends on which browser you're using.

Chrome, Firefox: http://www.causes.com/?a=true&not_a=false

Hooking into Node.js stdout, pipe stdout to telnet
var _ = require('underscore'),
util = require('util');
// intercept stdout, passes thru callback
// also pass console.error thru stdout so it goes to callback too
// (stdout.write and stderr.write are both refs to the same stream.write function)
// returns an unhook() function, call when done intercepting
module.exports = function interceptStdout(callback) {
var old_stdout_write = process.stdout.write,
old_console_error = console.error;

Most active GitHub users (git.io/top)

The count of contributions (summary of Pull Requests, opened issues and commits) to public repos at GitHub.com from Wed, 21 Sep 2022 till Thu, 21 Sep 2023.

Only first 1000 GitHub users according to the count of followers are taken. This is because of limitations of GitHub search. Sorting algo in pseudocode:
