In this Snippets, 6to5 becomes Babel, Node.js 0.12 on Pi, Git 2.3, HTTP2 explained and regular expressions from chained methods.
Node.js 0.12 on a Pi - If you’re trying to build Node.js on your older Raspberry Pi, you may have problems. Not now - Thanks to Conor O’Neill who has built Node.js getting around a problem with identifying the version of ARM processor by… applying some patches from io.js. You can download the built version from his blog… which will save you many hours of build time. Comments suggest not rushing as it seems slower and you can already get a nightly release for ARM v6 for io.js.
Git 2.3 is out - The latest version of Git adds a push-to-deploy option so rather than log in to your server and git pull the latest version down, you can automatically have the server download new versions. Handy, but potential for huge blowback, use after considering the probable issues. There’s also a new trick where cloning can borrow assets from another local clone.
HTTP2 Explained - In HTTP2 Explained Daniel Stenberg is pulling together everything you need to know about HTTP2 in one living document. HTTP2 is going to be a big part of everyone’s web future, so it’s a good time to get reading.
Regexps from chains - The interesting idea from RegExpBuilder is why not use chained JavaScript functions to create regular expressions. Pro, wordier syntax explains more. Con, wordier syntax vs Regexp’s confusing compactness. Interesting idea though.
