Why I use `node`, `deno`, `bun`, `qjs`, `tjs` at the same time.

Winds up being a (not the) rather comprehensive JavaScript toolbox. The idea being for the modern JavaScript programmer can use all of the tools available for a given requirement, task or job, without preference for any. No external bundlers or compilers are needed. No frameworks are needed. I can use qjs or tjs for systems with minimal RAM and disk space; and when I want to use Web API's deno makes an effort to provide those interfaces. In some cases I can run the exact same code in bun, deno, and node, which provides a means to perform 1:1 testing as to performance.

There's probably a few things I am unintentionally omitting below. These are just a brief synposis. I'll update accordingly.

Install Tilix on Ubuntu 20.04

Install Tilix

sudo apt-get install tilix

Fix Tilix VTE

sudo ln -s /etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh /etc/profile.d/vte.sh
sudo chmod +x /etc/profile.d/vte.sh

Example of deployment process which I use in my Nuxt.js projects. I usually have 3 components running per project: admin-panel SPA, nuxt.js renderer and JSON API.

This manual is relevant for VPS such as DigitalOcean.com or Vultr.com. It's easier to use things like Now for deployment but for most cases VPS gives more flexebillity needed for projects bigger than a landing page.

UPD: This manual now compatible with nuxt@2.3. For older versions deployment, see revision history.

Let's assume that you have entered fresh installation of Ubuntu instance via SSH. Let's rock:

File Magic Numbers

Magic numbers are the first bits of a file which uniquely identify the type of file. This makes programming easier because complicated file structures need not be searched in order to identify the file type.

For example, a jpeg file starts with ffd8 ffe0 0010 4a46 4946 0001 0101 0047 ......JFIF.....G ffd8 shows that it's a JPEG file, and ffe0 identify a JFIF type structure. There is an ascii encoding of "JFIF" which comes after a length code, but that is not necessary in order to identify the file. The first 4 bytes do that uniquely.

This gives an ongoing list of file-type magic numbers.
