FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Free O'Reilly books and convenient script to just download them.

Thanks /u/FallenAege/ and /u/ShPavel/ from this Reddit post

How to use:

  1. Take the download.sh file and put it into a directory where you want the files to be saved.
  2. cd into the directory and make sure that it has executable permissions (chmod +x download.sh should do it)
  3. Run ./download.sh and wee there it goes. Also if you do not want all the files, just simply comment the ones you do not want.

postgres cheatsheet

Postgres Cheatsheet

This is a collection of the most common commands I run while administering Postgres databases. The variables shown between the open and closed tags, "<" and ">", should be replaced with a name you choose. Postgres has multiple shortcut functions, starting with a forward slash, "". Any SQL command that is not a shortcut, must end with a semicolon, ";". You can use the keyboard UP and DOWN keys to scroll the history of previous commands you've run.

Setup

installation, Ubuntu

Top GitHub users by total number of stars

I was playing with GitHub Archive recently. Out of curiosity I ran this query:

SELECT COUNT(repository_owner) as totalStars, repository_owner
FROM [githubarchive:github.timeline] 
WHERE type = 'WatchEvent'
AND repository_organization IS NULL
GROUP BY repository_owner
ORDER BY totalStars DESC
