Cross-compile autotools library for Android / arm-linux-androideabi I stick that in ~/bin/, chmod +x, and then run it in place of "./configure" in my project. Then a make and make install later, the prefix contains libraries built for android. Neato eh?
#!/bin/sh
# I put all my dev stuff in here
export DEV_PREFIX=$HOME/Dev/
# Don't forget to adjust this to your NDK path
export ANDROID_NDK=${DEV_PREFIX}/android-ndk-r8d/
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-androideabi

Prepend the debugger statement to a function as easy as stopBefore('Element.prototype.removeChild'). Works in Chrome DevTools and Safari Inspector, doesn’t work in Firebug‘s and Firefox Developer Tools‘ console (I don’t know why). Works as a standalone script everywhere.

stopBefore.js

2min screencast

Examples

stopBefore(document, 'getElementById')
stopBefore('document.getElementById') // the same as the previous
stopBefore(Element.prototype, 'removeChild')

Workaround for Ubuntu guest suspension warning in VMware Fusion

I see this error when I try to suspend an Ubuntu 10 guest in Fusion:

The request to Suspend this virtual machine failed because the corresponding VMware Tools script did not run successfully.

If you have configured a custom suspend script in this virtual machine, make sure that it contains no errors. Attempting the operation again will ignore the script failure. You can also submit a support request to report this issue.

As the dialog states, the second time you try to suspend the VM it ignores the non-zero return code of the script and it seems to work. But it's annoying.

The problem appears to not be VMware actually, but Ubuntu (or Ubuntu's service script). I tried to figure out where exactly Ubuntu's initctl configuration/scripts is broken to no avail but found a work-around that I'm happy with.

For my Raspberry Pi internet radio project I needed a way to render text suitable for a low resolution monochrome LCD. This article describes how to render 1-bit text using FreeType and Python. See http://dbader.org/blog/monochrome-font-rendering-with-freetype-and-python
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# Needs freetype-py>=1.0

NGINX tuning for best performance

NGINX Tuning For Best Performance

For this configuration you can use web server you like, i decided, because i work mostly with it to use nginx.

Generally, properly configured nginx can handle up to 400K to 500K requests per second (clustered), most what i saw is 50K to 80K (non-clustered) requests per second and 30% CPU load, course, this was 2 x Intel Xeon with HyperThreading enabled, but it can work without problem on slower machines.

You must understand that this config is used in testing environment and not in production so you will need to find a way to implement most of those features best possible for your servers.
