Essential JavaScript Links

I no longer mantain this list. There are lots of other very comprehensive JavaScript link lists out there. Please see those, instead (Google "awesome JavaScript" for a start).

Are your Ruby HTTPS API calls secure?

Let's check:

2.0.0-p481 :001 > OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext::DEFAULT_PARAMS
 => {:ssl_version=>"SSLv23", :verify_mode=>1, :ciphers=>"ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW", :options=>-2147482625}
2.0.0-p481 :002 > rating = JSON.parse(RestClient::Resource.new("https://www.howsmyssl.com/a/check" ).get)['rating']
 => "Bad"

Highly recommended things!

This is my five-star list. These are my favorite things in all the world.

A few of these works have had an extraordinary effect on my life or way of thinking. They get a sixth star. ★

A quick "how to" on what you need to do to both setup AND recover a single-server PostgreSQL database using WAL-E

• WAL-E: https://github.com/wal-e/wal-e
• Assuming Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ("Precise")
• We'll be using S3. Make sure you have an IAM in a group with GetObject, ListBucket and PutObject on the bucket you want to use (and that it's not public).

Setup:

1. These packages:

hummus

wget http://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/linux64/jq 
aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=tag:Name,Values=$NAME" \
  "Name=instance-state-name,Values=running" \
  |  jq -r \
  ".Reservations[] | .Instances[] | .InstanceId" \

aws ec2 describe-volumes --filters \
  "Name=status,Values=available" \
  | jq -r ".Volumes[] | .VolumeId" \

"""
This file contains code that, when run on Python 2.7.5 or earlier, creates
a string that should not exist: u'\Udeadbeef'. That's a single "character"
that's illegal in Python because it's outside the valid Unicode range.

It then uses it to crash various things in the Python standard library and
corrupt a database.

On Python 3... well, this file is full of syntax errors on Python 3. But
if you were to change the print statements and byte literals and stuff:
