Generating a properly secure SECRET_KEY in Django
"""
Two things are wrong with Django's default `SECRET_KEY` system:
1. It is not random but pseudo-random
2. It saves and displays the SECRET_KEY in `settings.py`
This snippet
1. uses `SystemRandom()` instead to generate a random key
2. saves a local `secret.txt`

Created April 25, 2013 21:20
Simple JS function that returns a bounding rect for an element with absolute coordinates corrected for scroll positions.
/**
Returns a bounding rect for _el_ with absolute coordinates corrected for
scroll positions.
The native `getBoundingClientRect()` returns coordinates for an element's
visual position relative to the top left of the viewport, so if the element
is part of a scrollable region that has been scrolled, its coordinates will
