The best explanation of Python decorators I’ve ever seen. (An archived answer from StackOverflow.)

NOTE: This is a question I found on StackOverflow which I’ve archived here, because the answer is so effing phenomenal.


Q: How can I make a chain of function decorators in Python?


If you are not into long explanations, see [Paolo Bergantino’s answer][2].

web scraping in php

Have you ever wanted to get a specific data from another website but there's no API available for it? That's where Web Scraping comes in, if the data is not made available by the website we can just scrape it from the website itself.

But before we dive in let us first define what web scraping is. According to Wikipedia:

{% blockquote %} Web scraping (web harvesting or web data extraction) is a computer software technique of extracting information from websites. Usually, such software programs simulate human exploration of the World Wide Web by either implementing low-level Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), or embedding a fully-fledged web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. {% endblockquote %}

Prefix key

The default prefix is C-b. If you (or your muscle memory) prefer C-a, you need to add this to ~/.tmux.conf:
