Hard work pays off. That expression is always said in today’s society, and it’s considered a good trait to have. However, many people every day work hard, yet they still find themselves struggling to pay bills or live.

In order to get better at algorithms (my greatest weakness), I’m currently going through the Stanford algorithm design course. To learn the concepts better, I decided to implement Karatsuba multiplication in JavaScript. (The fruits of my labor can be found on my miscellaneous algorithm GitHub repository.).

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the Caps Lock key is completely useless. I use it about once or twice a year, and that definitely does not warrant it a spot right next to my pinky finger on the home row. It’s in a place that is just as convenient as the Enter key, despite being completely useless.

It’s pretty much common knowledge that Gmail is awesome. It’s fast, connects seamlessly with the rest of your Google services such as Drive, has a cool app called Inbox, and is overall an extremely powerful email service. However, to use it with a custom domain, you need to purchase Google Apps for either $5 or $10/month, which for casual users is a bit unnecessary. On top of that, you don’t even get all of the features a personal account gets, e.g. Inbox.

Preston is an extremely powerful library for creating RESTful applications that use Mongoose models. In this tutorial, I’ll be hooking up the AngularJS TodoMVC app to a Preston-powered backend.

I was having problems getting Django working with Vagrant, then I stumbled upon this StackOverflow answer.

Coffeescript is an amazing language. As a matter of fact, it’s one of my favorite languages, second only to JavaScript. Here’s some recent code I used to split up one array into a multidimensional array with a certain number of columns.

AngularJS is an awesome web framework made by Googleto create “structured web apps”. In this framework, templating is done client-side,so all the server needs to do is send data to the client via HTTP. Thus, no templatingneeds to be done on the backend and the web browser handles all of the data.All the backend needs to do is send JSON.

I wanted to set up Vim so that Coffeescript files would use 2 spaces for indentation. This was very simple:

Today, I wanted to put my downloads on a different domain from my screenshots. Not wanting to manage multiple servers for no reason, I set up virtual hosts, also known as vhosts. Basically, depending on what domain you visit my web server from, you will get a different website. This is actually very simple to set up.
