FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

What's an Effective Engineer?

Scaling your API with rate limiters

The following are examples of the four types rate limiters discussed in the accompanying blog post. In the examples below I've used pseudocode-like Ruby, so if you're unfamiliar with Ruby you should be able to easily translate this approach to other languages. Complete examples in Ruby are also provided later in this gist.

In most cases you'll want all these examples to be classes, but I've used simple functions here to keep the code samples brief.

Request rate limiter

This uses a basic token bucket algorithm and relies on the fact that Redis scripts execute atomically. No other operations can run between fetching the count and writing the new count.

Concurrency Patterns in Go

Notes taken from Rob Pike's presentation 'Google I/O 2012 - Go Concurrency Patterns'.

1. Generator: function that returns a channel

The code is as follows:

c := boring("boring!")  // function returning a channel

for i := 0; i &lt; 5; i++ {

I've been deceiving you all. I had you believe that Svelte was a UI framework — unlike React and Vue etc, because it shifts work out of the client and into the compiler, but a framework nonetheless.

But that's not exactly accurate. In my defense, I didn't realise it myself until very recently. But with Svelte 3 around the corner, it's time to come clean about what Svelte really is.

Svelte is a language.

Specifically, Svelte is an attempt to answer a question that many people have asked, and a few have answered: what would it look like if we had a language for describing reactive user interfaces?

A few projects that have answered this question:

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}

Github Search Cheat Sheet

GitHub’s search supports a variety of different operations. Here’s a quick cheat sheet for some of the common searches.

Nerd Fonts for your IDE

https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads

The following solution thanks to @hackerzgz & @snacky101 will install all nerd fonts;

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew search '/font-.*-nerd-font/' | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs -I{} brew install --cask {} || true

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	# fetch_nike_puls_all_activities.bash
	# A simple bash script to fetch all activities and metrics from NikePlus.
	# See `nike_plus_api.md` for the API details.

	readonly bearer_token="$1"
	if [[ -z "$bearer_token" ]]; then
	echo "Usage: $0 bearer_token"
	exit

	//All colours are generated from Material Design Docs
	//Colours have a base, a set of shades (50-900) accent colours
	//In addition a companion set of contrast colours are included for colouring text / icons
	// Example usage
	// class="w-full bg-red-600 text-red-600-constrast"
