Load Disqus comments only on demand if you give a shit about page weight and your visitors. Even with no comments, i.e. an empty comment form, calling Disqus will load an extra 226Kb. If your page has comments this can be far higher. This Gist accompanies my blog post: http://internet-inspired.com/wrote/load-disqus-on-demand/
// Requires jQuery of course.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.show-comments').on('click', function(){
var disqus_shortname = 'YOUR-DISQUS-USERNAME'; // Replace this value with *your* username.
// ajax request to load the disqus javascript
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://" + disqus_shortname + ".disqus.com/embed.js",
dataType: "script",

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
