Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite Setup

Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Custom recipe to get OS X 10.10 Yosemite running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. On average, I reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between distros.

This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.

You are encouraged to fork this and modify it to your heart's content to match your own needs.

Upgrade Postgresql from 9.2 to 9.6 on an uberspace

Upgrade Postgresql from 9.2 to 9.6 on an uberspace

Uberspace (an awesome german web hoster) has superb postgresql support, except that it currently only offers postgresql versions 9.2.x and 9.3.x. I run postgresql 9.6.2 on my uberspace and documented steps for a migration to postgresql 9.6 here.

My goal was to be as close to the original uberspace-postgresql-setup as possible, but I had to copy and modify some uberspace scripts so they correctly use the new postgresql version.

Warning: Here be dragons. This is what I did -- that doesn't mean you should do the same or what I did was clever. Always backup your data and maybe test on a throw-away uberspace first. If you find things to improve, let me know and I'll try to keep this updated.

What I assume you have

Erlang/Elixir syntax reference

This reference is aimed at allowing you to comfortably read erlang documentation and consume terms printed in Erlang format. It does not aim at allowing you to write Erlang code.

This is a modified version of http://elixir-lang.org/crash-course.html

Data types

Erlang and Elixir have the same data types for the most part, but there are a number of differences.

begin
require "bundler/inline"
rescue LoadError => e
$stderr.puts "Bundler version 1.10 or later is required. Please update your Bundler"
raise e
end
gemfile(true) do
source "https://rubygems.org"
