Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...
curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

RequireJS cacheKey

reason

Offers a simple mechanism to allow extremely long expire-headers on scripts whilst still being able to switch to newer versions on the fly.

implementation

A js file defined with data-main attribute on the script tag of require.js, will always be loaded with current timestamp to always force a fresh load.

// main.js?cacheKey=TIMESTAMP-123412312321

Make git diff ignore whitespace and don't try to open jpgs and shit
# this can be put in [repo]/.git/config for local settings
# or ~/.gitconfig for global settings
# create a difftool "nodiff" that just returns true
# this path is for Mac. On linux it's /bin/true i guess

# make git ignore white space differences, many different possibilites here

Backbone.js model caching
# ## Backbone model caching
# This is a simple solution to the problem "how do I make less requests to
# my server?".
#
# Whenever you need a model instance, this will check first if the same thing
# has been fetched before, and gives you the same instance instead of fetching
# the same data from the server again.
#
# Reusing the same instance also has the great side-effect of making your
# model changeable from one part of your code, with your changes being available

child_process.execFile example
var child_process = require('child_process');
// exec: spawns a shell.
child_process.exec('ls -lah /tmp', function(error, stdout, stderr){
console.log(stdout);
});
// execFile: executes a file with the specified arguments
child_process.execFile('ls', ['-lah', '/tmp'], function(error, stdout, stderr){
console.log(stdout);
