Ultrabenosaurus / social-stats.php
Created June 24, 2013 06:57
Get the count of tweets, likes and +1's for a URL. Saved from this repo - https://github.com/whyisjake/Social-Stats - but I didn't feel it deserved an actual repo so I saved it as a gist, and also added a function that returns all three stats for you. Currently relies on some WordPress functions, will need to alter that at some point.
<?php
function make_get_tweets( $url ) {
$json_string = wpcom_vip_file_get_contents( 'http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=' . $url );
$json = json_decode($json_string, true);
return intval( $json['count'] );
}
function make_get_likes( $url ) {
$json_string = wpcom_vip_file_get_contents('http://graph.facebook.com/?ids=' . $url);

why I will never agree with one-page, scroll-to-your-content sites

Take a simple 5-page site that just covers who you are, what you do, some example projects and contact info or something. I bookmark one of those pages so I can read it later when I have more time. I get home, open the bookmark and the page loads with only the relevant HTML, CSS and JS. Done.

Say that site is converted into a single-page, super-scroll site and the content equivalent to the page I bookmarked happens to have been placed at the bottom of this page. Now, when I open the bookmark (assuming there is a 301 set up correctly) I have to wait for the content from all the other pages to load as well before the page is ready. While this is happening I might start reading my content only to have the page grow as images load in, pushing my content down and making me lose my place. There might be a larger amount of CSS and JS as well because previously page-specific code will now need to be loaded every time, regardless of if it is needed for the content the user wants, which could hurt functionality.

githash - get the short or full SHA for any commit in your current branch's history

githash

Easily get the short or full SHA for any commit in your current branch's history, useful for reverting and sharing specific code states with others.

Why?

Because typing out git rev-list --max-count=1 --abbrev-commit --skip=# HEAD takes far too much effort.
