A simple JavaScript snippet you can use to see how much money you've spent on Uber cars
// Instructions:
// 1. Visit https://clients.uber.com/#!/dashboard
// 2. Click the "Show all trips" link
// 3. Paste the following into the console
// 4. Gasp in horror as you see how much money you've spent on Uber
_($("td.num:contains($)")).map(function (el) { return $(el).text().substring(1) }).map(Number).reduce(function(memo, num) { return memo + num; })

A collection of notes/resources on implementing SOA.

Single sign-on in a service-oriented architecture

The following document outlines a basic design for implementing single sign-on in a service-oriented architecture with many user-facing apps. I have posted it here hoping to get feedback, so don't be afraid to fork and/or comment with your thoughts.

The design relies on two main components in addition to the user-facing servers (apps) and app-facing servers (services):

Idea for a nested resource controller helper
# Provides a helper method for controllers who need to query a nested resource.
# Implements per-request in-memory caching for nested resources as well as
# support for controllers that are also accessed without being nested.

optional: false,
