Node.JS static file web server. Put it in your path to fire up servers in any directory, takes an optional port argument.
var http = require("http"),
url = require("url"),
path = require("path"),
fs = require("fs")
port = process.argv[2] || 8888;
http.createServer(function(request, response) {
var uri = url.parse(request.url).pathname
, filename = path.join(process.cwd(), uri);

Search Git commit history for a string and see the diffs

Searching Git commit history

This should be one of the core features of Git, but for some reason it's impossible to figure out how to search for a string in your commit history and see the diffs that that string is in. Here's the best I've come up with:

To find which commits and which files a string was added or removed in:

git log -S'search string' --oneline --name-status

To see the diff of that

Generalized tree search (DFS, BFS)

Generalized Tree Search

A generalized depth and breadth-first tree search algorithm

Here's a neat little algorithm that can perform a depth-first search (DFS) or breadth-first search (BFS) by simply changing the collection data type:

search( Node root ) {
    Collection c = new Collection()
 c.push( root )

The best explanation of Python decorators I’ve ever seen. (An archived answer from StackOverflow.)

NOTE: This is a question I found on StackOverflow which I’ve archived here, because the answer is so effing phenomenal.


Q: How can I make a chain of function decorators in Python?


If you are not into long explanations, see [Paolo Bergantino’s answer][2].
