albrow / IpToDecimal.js
Last active March 3, 2021 14:46
A short javascript function to convert an IP address in dotted decimal notation to a regular decimal. This is useful for IP address geolocation lookups. Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ip_address
// convert the ip address to a decimal
// assumes dotted decimal format for input
function convertIpToDecimal(ip) {
// a not-perfect regex for checking a valid ip address
// It checks for (1) 4 numbers between 0 and 3 digits each separated by dots (IPv4)
// or (2) 6 numbers between 0 and 3 digits each separated by dots (IPv6)
var ipAddressRegEx = /^(\d{0,3}\.){3}.(\d{0,3})$|^(\d{0,3}\.){5}.(\d{0,3})$/;
var valid = ipAddressRegEx.test(ip);
if (!valid) {
return false;

Go (golang): How to ask for user confirmation via command line
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"os"
"sort"
)
// askForConfirmation uses Scanln to parse user input. A user must type in "yes" or "no" and
// then press enter. It has fuzzy matching, so "y", "Y", "yes", "YES", and "Yes" all count as
// confirmations. If the input is not recognized, it will ask again. The function does not return

func main() {
// Create a new wade app.
app := wade.NewApp()

Non-Blocking ReadAll function for Humble
// ReadAll expects a pointer to a slice of poitners to some concrete type
// which implements Model (e.g., *[]*Todo). GetAll will send a GET request to
// a RESTful server and scan the results into models. It expects a json array
// of json objects from the server, where each object represents a single Model
// of some concrete type. It will use the RootURL() method of the models to
// figure out which url to send the GET request to.
func ReadAll(models interface{}) <-chan error {
// We expect some pointer to a slice of models. Like *[]Todo
// First Elem() givew us []Todo
// Second Elem() gives us Todo
