Handy OpenSSL command-line combinations I've used - they might've been hard to find or come up with, so capturing them here.

Список литературы для ознакомления с concurrent programming и реализацией этих принципов и подходов на ruby. Огромное спасибо @brainopia за составление.

Введение

Начать стоит отсюда. Не пугайтесь то, что это книга по незнакомой OS, эти термины практически везде одинаковые и здесь они изложены в понятной для начинающих форме.

http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.4.1/neutrino/getting_started/s1_procs.html

Прочесть нужно треть главы до подраздела "Starting a process", если С не пугает, читайте полностью. После прочтения вы будете понимать, что такое process, thread, mutex, priorites, semaphores, scheduler, contex-switch, kernel states.

require 'io/console'
# Reads keypresses from the user including 2 and 3 escape character sequences.

if input == "\e" then
input << STDIN.read_nonblock(3) rescue nil

Use homebrew to upgrade to postgres on OSX
newpg=9.6.1 # set to new PG version number
oldpg=`pg_config --version | cut -d' ' -f2`
# PG 96. upgrades the readline to v7, which breaks anything linked against readline v6, like ruby via ruby-build.
# I *think* this should prevent it from installing v7. But if weird shit happens with various rubies,
# you'll have to reinstall them.
brew pin readline

Get the share counts from various APIs

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.
