Plurrrr

Whether you’re building, testing and/or linting JavaScript, module resolution is always at the heart of everything. Despite its central place in our tools, not much time has been spent on making that aspect fast. With the changes discussed in this blog post tools can be sped up by as much as 30%.

When using Django for a single page application like a React, Vue or Angular app, a typical first initial question is: "how do I handle authentication?"

There are a few options out there for people:

• Use JSON Web Tokens
• Use REST Framework's TokenAuthentication
• Use django-rest-knox (an improvement over REST Framework's TokenAuthentication)

Unix is a bestiary of ad hoc databases: comma-, colon-, tab- and space-separated tables. Think of /etc/* or /var/log/*, or of columnar commands.

Shell scripts commonly, if unknowingly, compose five (of six) primitive relational-algebraic operations on these tables: union, difference, projection, selection and renaming:

• cat acts like union;
• sed and grep act like selection;
• cut acts like projection;
• awk can perform renaming; and
• diff acts (almost) like difference.
