scott-coates / enable_south_migrations.py
Created August 29, 2013 16:51
If you are running some django tests in an environment where you want to force south to run, you can use this gist. This was taken from the pycharm test runner.
from django.core import management
from django.conf import settings
def enable_south_migrations():
management.get_commands()
if hasattr(settings, "SOUTH_TESTS_MIGRATE") and not settings.SOUTH_TESTS_MIGRATE:
# point at the core syncdb command when creating tests
# tests should always be up to date with the most recent model structure
management._commands['syncdb'] = 'django.core'

Pycharm 3 & IntelliJ 13 don't honor the `working directory` option for remote python consoles. See here: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-12239
# Go to Settings -> Console -> Python Console (Do not use Django Console - even if you plan to use this with a Django project)
# Ad this gist to the "starting script" option.
import os
# Chdir to "working directory"
os.chdir('/vagrant')
import sys
sys.path.extend([ '/home/vagrant/.pycharm_helpers/pycharm', '/home/vagrant/.pycharm_helpers/pydev'])
import django_manage_shell; django_manage_shell.run("/vagrant")
# Django 1.7 app loading

scott-coates / mock-api-es6.js
Last active August 29, 2015 14:22
A slightly biased comparison of ES7 async/await (a la C#) vs ES6 promises. The idea is to delay the return of data, simulating a a request/response from a server.
const mockAPI = {
provideResponse(dataToProvide) {
const timeout = Math.round(Math.random() * (3000 - 500)) + 500;
const retVal = new Promise((resolve, reject)=> {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve(dataToProvide);
}, timeout);

Imperative vs FRP code. 'Subscribe' to a Redux Store, only receiving events when a specific piece of state is changed.
const teamStream = storeObserver.observeStateStream(store, state => state.team.requestedTeam.id);
teamStream.onValue(requestedTeamId => {
// clean up old connection (this will happen if we look at different teams)
if (this.teamRef) this.teamRef.off('value', this.teamCallback);
this.teamRef = rootRef.child(`teams/${requestedTeamId}`);
this.teamCallback = this.teamRef.on('value', snapshot => {
try {
