Ansible task to install nvm and nodeJS
#first seen here: http://www.snip2code.com/Snippet/63701/Ansible-task-to-install-nvm-and-node
# Here is how to install nvm and node in an Ansible task.
# I tried a bunch of different things, and as usual it's simple, but you have to get it right.
# The important part is that you have to shell with /bin/bash -c and source nvm.sh

A Rails 4 pluck in batches implementation

pluck_in_batches

Sometimes you need to iterate over a ton of items and you don't want the overhead of creating AR objects out of all of them. Hell, you only need a few things! Well, #pluck has your back.

But what if you want to iterate over many tonnes of items?

Pluck in batches to the rescue!

This isn't the exact code that I use in my code base, but it is damn close.

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
