a simple git branching model

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Facebook Perl source code from 2005. When browsing around thefacebook.com in 2005 the server spit out some server-side source code rather than running it. I believe this was for their old graph feature that let you visualize the graph between all your friends. The filename is `mygraph.svgz` and contains some gems such as a commented out "zuck" d…

Cassandra unsafe assassinate - removing a dead node from the cluster

Unsafe Node Assassinate

On Cassandra 1.1.x, nodetool removetoken on a dead node hangs. The only way to reliably remove the node from the cluster is to use an undocumented JMX command to force the remove of the node from gossip.

Upgrading to 1.2.x and above should obviate these steps in favor of nodetool removenode - See 1.2 Docs

It's probably also a good idea to run a nodetool repair after this operation - See wiki

Prerequisites

Raspberry Pi and the USB to TTL Serial Cable on Mac (unfinished)

I took it to heart when @kassandra_perch said to document everything durring her talk at EmpireJS. So I documented my whole process, what went right and what went wrong.

This document is unfinished and is not a complete tutorial

The primary way to interact with a Raspberry Pi is to use WiFi and SSH. The problem with this is that the WiFi on the Pi needs to be configured and in order to do that you'll need a monitor. I've tried to edit the wpa_supplicant.conf by using the SD card's file system. I achieved this with minimal success the problem with this is that you still need to get the IP address of the Pi, even if it's connected.

Alas, there's another way! Using a wire referred to as the "USB to TTL Serial Cable - Debug / Console Cable for Raspberry Pi".

Scaladays 2014 slides

As compiled by Kevin Wright a.k.a @thecoda

(executive producer of the movie, and I didn't even know it... clever huh?)

please, please, please - If you know of any slides/code/whatever not on here, then ping me on twitter or comment this Gist!

This gist will be updated as and when I find new information. So it's probably best not to fork it, or you'll miss the updates!
