Hi everyone, I'm Chris Wanstrath.
When Jeremy asked me to come talk, I said yes. Hell yes. Immediately. But
then I took a few moments and thought, Wait, why? Why me? What am I supposed
to say that's interesting? Something about Ruby, perhaps. Maybe the
future of it. The future of something, at least. That sounds
keynote-y.

GitHub OAuth Busy Developer's Guide

GitHub OAuth Busy Developer's Guide

This is a quick guide to OAuth2 support in GitHub for developers. This is still experimental and could change at any moment. This Gist will serve as a living document until it becomes finalized at Develop.GitHub.com.

OAuth2 is a protocol that lets external apps request authorization to private details in your GitHub account without getting your password. All developers need to register their application before getting started.

How I Got Node.js Talking on EC2's Port 80

The Problem

Standard practices say no non-root process gets to talk to the Internet on a port less than 1024. How, then, could I get Node talking on port 80 on EC2? (I wanted it to go as fast as possible and use the smallest possible share of my teeny tiny little micro-instance's resources, so proxying through nginx or Apache seemed suboptimal.)

The temptingly easy but ultimately wrong solution:

Alter the port the script talks to from 8000 to 80:

}).listen(80);

Opinions are like assholes, every one has got one.

This one is mine.

Punctuation: who cares?

Punctuation is a bikeshed. Put your semicolons, whitespace, and commas where you like them.

Put Your Tumblr Blog in a SubURL (subdirectory) instead of a Subdomain using a Python proxy. It's better to host your blog in a subdirectory rather than a subdomain because Google treats subdomains as totally separate sites which is bad for SEO.
def blog(request, url=""):
remote = "http://YOURTUMBLRSITE.tumblr.com"
local = ""http://www.example.com/blog"
conn = httplib2.Http()
#This is to support Tumblr's search.
if request.GET.get("q"):
urlencode = lambda s: urllib.urlencode({'x': s})[2:]
url = url+"/"+urlencode(request.GET.get("q"))
proxy_url = "%s/%s" % (remote, url)
