Pandas recipe. I find pandas indexing counter intuitive, perhaps my intuitions were shaped by many years in the imperative world. I am collecting some recipes to do things quickly in pandas & to jog my memory.
"""making a dataframe"""
df = pd.DataFrame([[1, 2], [3, 4]], columns=list('AB'))
"""quick way to create an interesting data frame to try things out"""
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(5, 4), columns=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])
"""convert a dictionary into a DataFrame"""
"""make the keys into columns"""
df = pd.DataFrame(dic, index=[0])

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

Discussion of korn.c, 1987 IOCCC entry, mentioned in http://stackoverflow.com/a/19214007/827263

korn.c is the "Best One Liner" winner of the 1987 International Obfuscated C Code Contest, by David Korn (yes, the author of the Korn Shell).

korn.hint, as the name implies, offers some hints.

A commenter on Stack Overflow asked for some clarification. I didn't want to post spoilers on the site, so I'm posting them here instead. If you haven't already (and if you're familiar with the rules of C) I encourage you to study the program for a while first.

Here's the code:
