Configure npm to not require sudo for local or global modules. Warning this does enable all files in usr/local/bin to run as super user.
user=`whoami`
# if installing node directly
sudo chown -R $user /usr/local/bin
sudo chown -R $user /usr/local/lib/node_modules
# if using nvm
sudo chown -R $user ~/.npm

Flask + uWSGI + nginx Primer. I've been having trouble with serving a Flask app via uWSGI and nginx, so I thought I'd put together some of the basics to help out others.

Flask + uWSGI + nginx Primer

I've been having trouble with serving a Flask app via uWSGI and nginx, so I thought I'd put together some of the basics to help out others.

How this shit works

  • Flask is managed by uWSGI.
  • uWSGI talks to nginx.

Renaming a Django app that has migrations already sucks. This Is a way I found to do it that preserves your old migration history and keeps your contenttypes in order. The trick is, this migration cannot be in the app you are migrating, so stick it in your "core" app or another app you have installed. Just plug in your own old and new app names.

The fun of implementing date support
After spending the better part of the month implementing date support
in RethinkDB, Mike Lucy sent the team the following e-mail. It would
have been funny, if it didn't cause thousands of programmers so much
pain. Read it, laugh, and weep!
-----
So, it turns out that we're only going to support dates between the
year 1400 and the year 10000 (inclusive), because that's what boost
supports.

One Day Of Go

One day of Go

One of my ongoing resolutions is to learn a new programming language every year. I've been looking at Go for a while and I thought it would be fun to use the 'holiday' today to really get cranking. I recorded some random impressions as I was chugging along...

When learning a language, I'm one of those people that can't simply read documentation and contrived code examples with any usable level of recall -- I need to internalize it by writing code to solve a legitimate problem. So, I decided to write a little library, a parser for the Linux /proc filesystem. There aren't very many good ones that I've found for Go (and I am thinking of some projects I may want to use it for in the future).

Steps taken:

  1. Read a bit of code
