A far from exhaustive list of reasons why mAPI is shit

1. While it's an acceptable bandaid for now, we probably shouldn't just wrap JSON-RPC. It's really slow, and there's no reason to run an HTTP server that accesses another HTTP server. It's pretty silly tbh.
2. Nobody likes C#. Like, nobody.
3. You shouldn't have to go and install an entire postgres database in parallel to a mining node (both of which just love to compete with eachother to consume maximum resources) just to offer people different fee rates. If you had to do something like this, SQLite would be a much more lightweight alternative, however in almost all cases, miners will probably want to just run their own mining consoles (like any other kind of API service provider would) where they manage all this stuff themselves, so in reality, a simple JWT with an exp field, a fee field and a signing secret without any kind of user management whatsoever is probably already sufficient. If you have strong opinions to the contrary about thi

Note: To keep this even smaller, we're using a small helper module called the hyperswarm replicator, which wraps a few Hyperswarm setup details.

Angellist Web Search Scraper

Author: Kyle Manna

The goal of htis tool is to scrape the Angellist search results becaues the
Search API [1] only returns 20 results with no pagination at the time of

Simple, semi-anonymous backups with S3 and curl

Backing stuff up is a bit of a hassle, to set up and to maintain. While full-blown backup suites such as duplicity or CrashPlan will do all kinds of clever things for you (and I'd recommend either for more complex setups), sometimes you just want to put that daily database dump somewhere off-site and be done with it. This is what I've done, with an Amazon S3 bucket and curl. Hold onto your hats, there's some Bucket Policy acrobatics ahead.

There's also a tl;dr at the very end if you just want the delicious copy-pasta.
