AsyncBlockOperation by XibXor.com http://xibxor.com/objective-c/asynchronous-block-operations/
AsyncBlockOperation is very similar to NSBlockOperation with one caveat; the block you pass to it receives one argument, a reference to the AsyncBlockOperation for the block. When your block is done with its task, it must call [op complete]
Example usage:
NSOperation* asyncOp = [AsyncBlockOperation blockOperationWithBlock:^(AsyncBlockOperation* op) {
NSLog(@"starting op");
double delayInSeconds = 2.0;
dispatch_time_t popTime = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, (int64_t)(delayInSeconds * NSEC_PER_SEC));
dispatch_after(popTime, dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void){

The code below does the same as the example snippet you've just seen: opening a database connection, creating a new table with some columns, storing some data, altering the table schema and adding another row.
import sqlite3
# open connection and get a cursor
conn = sqlite3.connect(':memory:')
c = conn.cursor()
# create schema for a new table
c.execute('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sometable (name, age INTEGER)')
conn.commit()

Generate the list yourself:

How to use it:
1. Just `kill -2 PROCESS_ID` or `kill -15 PROCESS_ID` , The Tornado Web Server Will shutdown after process all the request.
2. When you run it behind Nginx, it can graceful reboot your production server.

Business models based on the compiled list at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4924647. I find the link very hard to browse, so I made a simple version in Markdown instead.

It's a résumé, as a readable and compilable C source file. Since Hacker News got here, this has been updated to be most of my actual résumé. This isn't a serious document, just a concept to annoy people who talk about recruiting and the formats they accept résumés in. It's also relatively representative of my coding style.

Since this is on Hacker News and reddit...

  • No, I don't distribute my résumé like this. A friend of mine made a joke about me being the kind of person who would do this, so I did (the link on that page was added later). My actual résumé is a good bit crazier.
  • I apologize for the use of _t in my types. I spend a lot of time at a level where I can do that; "reserved for system libraries? I am the system libraries".
  • Since people kept complaining, I've fixed the assignments of string literals to non-const char *s.
  • My use of type * name, however, is entirely intentional.
  • If you're using an older compiler, you might have trouble with the anonymous unions and the designated initializers - I think gcc 4.4 requires some extra braces to get them working together. Anything reasonably recent should work fine. Clang and gcc (newer than 4.4, at le
