PostgreSQL command line cheatsheet

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

  • -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
  • -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

How to proxy web apps using nginx?

Virtual Hosts on nginx (CSC309)

When hosting our web applications, we often have one public IP address (i.e., an IP address visible to the outside world) using which we want to host multiple web apps. For example, one may wants to host three different web apps respectively for example1.com, example2.com, and example1.com/images on the same machine using a single IP address.

How can we do that? Well, the good news is Internet browsers

An intro to C# for a Python developer. Made for one of my coworkers.

C# For Python Programmers

Syntax and core concepts

Basic Syntax

  • Single-line comments are started with //. Multi-line comments are started with /* and ended with */.

  • C# uses braces ({ and }) instead of indentation to organize code into blocks. If a block is a single line, the braces can be omitted. For example,
