One-liner to turn jar with Main-Class into executable shell script
# turn a jar with a Main-Class into a stand alone executable
(echo '#!/usr/bin/env java -jar'; cat blahblah.jar) > blah
# turn a jar with a particular main clas into a stand alone executable
(echo '#!/usr/bin/env java -jar package.MainClass'; cat blahblah.jar) > blah

So the brilliance of hypermedia is that it's a protocol programming language: the client is the generic execution environment, and the server is the "programmer" which sends tiny little chunks of programs down to the client to dictate what actions may be taken next, given its context.

The fact that the client also builds a UI is irrelevant to this power. The power is in creating a dynamic, custom protocol by choosing for the client which message structures that will be sent from the client, which is done using merely the tools of hypermedia. The protocol between a client and server is then codified in the hypermedia (e.g. HTML) part of the code which uses links and forms to document the various messages which may pass between client and server, and the client states in which either may be used.

Armstrong's formula for a good protocol:

Client-State, Client-Message => Server-State, Server-Response-Message

But in hypermedia, the server's response dictate's the client state:

I couldn't find a quick example of how to deploy a node.js app using Capistrano 3. This gist assumes you are using Capistrano 3, Upstart, Forever, ssh/forward agent, and an unprivileged user named 'deploy'. Hopefully this simple setup will help to get you started.
# config/deploy.rb
# probably a lot of ways to improve this...
set :application, 'my_app'
set :repo_url, 'git@github.com:USERNAME/my_app.git'
# should set up a deploy user
set :user, 'deploy'
set :deploy_to, '/var/www/my_app'
set :scm, :git

how to delete a git tag locally and remote
# delete local tag '12345'
git tag -d 12345
# delete remote tag '12345' (eg, GitHub version too)
git push origin :refs/tags/12345
# alternative approach
git push --delete origin tagName
git tag -d tagName

Generating Xcode projects from Node.js binding repos via gyp

This is specifically tailored to Node.js binding projects in which case the C++ layer is always a library.

Clone gyp:

git clone --depth 1 https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/gyp.git gyp

Add the below common.gypi file in the root of the project.
