Eugen Rochko was annoyed with Twitter. The company had made a series of changes that he thought eroded the value of the service: limiting how big third-party applications could grow, for example, and implementing an algorithm-driven timeline that made Twitter feel uncomfortably similar to Facebook. Most people in Rochko’s situation fired off an angry tweet or two and moved on. Rochko set about rebuilding Twitter from scratch.

What’s different and why it’s better

I quit Twitter to join a kinder, nicer, decentralized open source version of Twitter.

Node.js as a running service is becoming more and more popular these days. One of the issues many developers face is how to ensure their node.js service starts automatically, and more importantly how to keep it running should it crash. Previously one had to install modules such as forever, and then create some autostart script to start the daemon when the server booted.

Most Linux systems have recently switched to using systemd, which makes this process a lot simpler and more efficient, and means that we do not need forever any more.

When you run Express apps for production, it is helpful to use a process manager to achieve the following tasks:

• Restart the app automatically if it crashes.
• Gain insights into runtime performance and resource consumption.
• Modify settings dynamically to improve performance.
• Control clustering.

A process manager is somewhat like an application server: it’s a “container” for applications that facilitates deployment, provides high availability, and enables you to manage the application at runtime.

The most popular process managers for Express and other Node.js applications are as follows:

• StrongLoop Process Manager
• PM2
• Forever
• SystemD

Using any of these three tools can be very helpful, however StrongLoop Process Manager is the only tool that provides a comprehensive runtime and deployment solution that addresses the entire Node.js application life cycle, with tooling for every step before and after production, in a unified interface.

Here’s a brief look at each of these tools. For a detailed comparison, see http://strong-pm.io/compare/.

Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) était programmeur informatique, essayiste et hacker-activiste. Convaincu que l’accès à la connaissance constitue le meilleur outil d’émancipation et de justice, il consacra sa vie à la défense de la « culture libre ». Il joua notamment un rôle décisif dans la création de Reddit, des flux RSS, dans le développement des licences Creative Commons ou encore lors des manifestations contre le projet de loi SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act), qui visait à restreindre les libertés sur Internet. Au fil de ses différents combats, il rédigea une impressionnante quantité d’articles, de textes de conférences et de pamphlets politiques, dont une partie est rassemblée ici. L’adolescent, qui était déjà un libre-penseur brillant, laisse progressivement place à l’adulte, toujours plus engagé, se prononçant sur des sujets aussi variés que la politique, l’informatique, la culture ou l’éducation, et annonçant nombre de questions débattues aujourd’hui. Tiraillé entre ses idéaux et les lois relatives à la propriété intellectuelle aux États-Unis, harcelé par le FBI à la suite d’un procès intenté à son encontre, Aaron Swartz a mis fin à ses jours à l’âge de 26 ans.

The CSS box-shadow property is deceptively awesome. When used “traditionally”, it’s a simple way to add a shadow effect to an element. I use this for images in my blog. It’s nice. But get saucier with it and you can pull off some really interesting things. I’ve already talked about the pixel art hack. This time I’m going to share how to create colorful glow effects.

WordPress multisite subsites may be mapped to an non-network top-level domain. This means a site created as subsite1.networkdomain.com, can be mapped to show as domain.com. This also works for subdirectory sites, so networkdomain.com/subsite1 can also appear at domain.com. Before setting up domain mapping, make sure your network has been correctly set up, and subsites can be created without issues.

Before WordPress 4.5, domain mapping requires a domain mapping plugin like WordPress MU Domain Mapping.

In WordPress 4.5+, domain mapping is a native feature.
