asyncio + multithreading: one asyncio event loop per thread
import asyncio
import threading
import random
def thr(i):
# we need to create a new loop for the thread, and set it as the 'default'
# loop that will be returned by calls to asyncio.get_event_loop() from this
# thread.
loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
/**
* This Google Sheets script keeps data in the specified column sorted any time
* the data changes.
*
* After much research, there wasn't an easy way to automatically keep a column
* sorted in Google Sheets, and creating a second sheet to act as a "view" to
* my primary one in order to achieve that was not an option. Instead, I
* created a script that watches for when a cell is edited and triggers
* an auto sort.

Download an entire website for offline use with wget. Internal inks will be corrected so that the entire downloaded site will work as it did online.

The best way to download a website for offline use, using wget

There are two ways - the first way is just one command run plainly in front of you; the second one runs in the background and in a different instance so you can get out of your ssh session and it will continue.

First make a folder to download the websites to and begin your downloading: (note if downloading www.SOME_WEBSITE.com, you will get a folder like this: /websitedl/www.SOME_WEBSITE.com/)

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.
