Install and use pip in a local directory without root/sudo access.

Why?

Many users when are given server access, do not have root (or sudo) privileges and can not simply do sudo apt-get install python-pip . Here's an easy way you can install and use pip without root (or sudo) access in a local directory. Note : This works without easy_install too.

Set-up remote git repository on a standard server

The first thing to do is to install Git on the remote server.

Once you do that the rest of the process is split into three sections:

Server set-up
Local set-up (push commits)
Server (pull commits)

Getting started with git-svn

git-svn is a git command that allows using git to interact with Subversion repositories. git-svn is part of git, meaning that is NOT a plugin but actually bundled with your git installation. SourceTree also happens to support this command so you can use it with your usual workflow.

Reference: http://git-scm.com/book/en/v1/Git-and-Other-Systems-Git-and-Subversion

Cloning the SVN repository

You need to create a new local copy of the repository with the command

Main Queue

This object is available since 7.5.3. It permits to specify parameters for the main message queue. Note that only queue-parameters are permitted for this config object. This permits to set the same options like in ruleset and action queues. A special statement is needed for the main queue, because it is a different object and cannot be configured via any other object.

Note that when the main_queue() object is configured, the legacy $MainMsgQ... statements are ignored.

A Simple Example

main_queue(    
    queue.size="100000"      # how many messages (messages, not bytes!) to hold in memory

queue.type="LinkedList" # allocate memory dynamically for the queue. Better for handling spikes

Story: Writing Scripts with Go

This is a story about how I tried to use Go for scripting. In this story, I’ll discuss the need for a Go script, how we would expect it to behave and the possible implementations; During the discussion I’ll deep dive to scripts, shells, and shebangs. Finally, we’ll discuss solutions that will make Go scripts work.

Why Go is good for scripting?

While python and bash are popular scripting languages, C, C++ and Java are not used for scripts at all, and some languages are somewhere in between.
