Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Torch7 Node.js (FFI) Bindings

NOTE: This was just a fun winter break experiment. I am intending to support (almost) everything that the luaJIT covers for libTH, because it's interesting. I like the idea of slapping on a strong, scientific library to a Node.js micro-service and implementing fancy Machine Learning without a separate service or recreating my own Tensor library, psh.

Install

IMPORTANT NOTE Before you intend to use this library, look at Torch (more specifically, Torch7). If you want speed and performance, don't use this library, use that one (comparatively). This library is going to be slower compared to luaJIT, always, because of the FFI. The FFI introduces overhead on all native function calls to the specific library (libTH, in this case), and that incurs a performance penalty.

INSTALL TORCH, then slap this bad boy on your shell!

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/torch/lib/libTH.(so|dylib)

Now you can do this...

npm i torch-node

or this...

git clone https://github.com/wenkesj/torch-node.git
(cd torch7 && npm i)

Support

COMING SOON None of the fun functionality of the Torch7 library is implemented yet. I am still on break, and will be working on it. Feel free to submit a PR and dive in! This was a fun experiment and will be pretty awesome to see it move passed this junk :).

Look at the Torch7 docs and try your best to translate the lua code to JS and it should work. Most coverage can be found in the ./lib folder.

A few tips...

let myTensor = torch.FloatTensor(1, 1);
// is the same as...
-- this
local myTensor = torch.FloatTensor(1, 1);
