# If you open your Ressource monitoring under OSX, you'll see that the
# Process "Spotify Helper" is eating between 20% and 30% of CPU constantly
# It means that when you're on battery, it'll drain it faster.
# To prevent the Spotify Helper (which are basically ads for spotify) from spawning process,
# you should disable access to the app doing this (close Spotify first) :
sudo chmod 000 "/Applications/Spotify.app/Contents/Frameworks/Spotify Helper EH.app"
sudo chmod -N "/Applications/Spotify.app/Contents/Frameworks/Spotify Helper EH.app"

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

README.md template

Synopsis

At the top of the file there should be a short introduction and/ or overview that explains what the project is. This description should match descriptions added for package managers (Gemspec, package.json, etc.)

Code Example

Show what the library does as concisely as possible, developers should be able to figure out how your project solves their problem by looking at the code example. Make sure the API you are showing off is obvious, and that your code is short and concise.

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

(by @andrestaltz)

So you're curious in learning this new thing called Reactive Programming, particularly its variant comprising of Rx, Bacon.js, RAC, and others.

Learning it is hard, even harder by the lack of good material. When I started, I tried looking for tutorials. I found only a handful of practical guides, but they just scratched the surface and never tackled the challenge of building the whole architecture around it. Library documentations often don't help when you're trying to understand some function. I mean, honestly, look at this:

Rx.Observable.prototype.flatMapLatest(selector, [thisArg])

Projects each element of an observable sequence into a new sequence of observable sequences by incorporating the element's index and then transforms an observable sequence of observable sequences into an observable sequence producing values only from the most recent observable sequence.

Setup Web Server on EC2 Amazon Linux AMI

Step 1: Server Credentials

This assumes you are now connected to the server via SSH.

  • sudo -s Enter root mode for admin access
  • groupadd devgroup Create new group to be later granted access to /var/www/html

Creating a new Root User

  • useradd -G root,devgroup masterdev Create new root user. Also add to the devgroup
  • passwd masterdev Change password for the new root user
  • At this point, you'll need to input your new root user's new password
