Advanced SCSS, or, 16 cool things you may not have known your stylesheets could do

Advanced SCSS

Or, 16 cool things you may not have known your stylesheets could do. I'd rather have kept it to a nice round number like 10, but they just kept coming. Sorry.

I've been using SCSS/SASS for most of my styling work since 2009, and I'm a huge fan of Compass (by the great @chriseppstein). It really helped many of us through the darkest cross-browser crap. Even though browsers are increasingly playing nice with CSS, another problem has become very topical: managing the complexity in stylesheets as our in-browser apps get larger and larger. SCSS is an indispensable tool for dealing with this.

This isn't an introduction to the language by a long shot; many things probably won't make sense unless you have some SCSS under your belt already. That said, if you're not yet comfy with the basics, check out the aweso

⚠ This post is fairly old. I don't keep it up to date. Be sure to see comments where some people have posted updates

What this will cover

  • Host a static website at S3
  • Redirect www.website.com to website.com

Automatically backup a MongoDB database to S3 using mongodump, tar, and awscli (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)
#!/bin/sh
# Make sure to:
# 1) Name this file `backup.sh` and place it in /home/ubuntu
# 2) Run sudo apt-get install awscli to install the AWSCLI
# 3) Run aws configure (enter s3-authorized IAM user and specify region)
# 4) Fill in DB host + name
# 5) Create S3 bucket for the backups and fill it in below (set a lifecycle rule to expire files older than X days in the bucket)
# 6) Run chmod +x backup.sh
# 7) Test it out via ./backup.sh

Code for aligning two gensim word2vec models using Procrustes matrix alignment. Code ported from HistWords <https://github.com/williamleif/histwords> by William Hamilton <wleif@stanford.edu>. [NOTE: This code is DEPRECATED for latest versions of gensim. Please see instead this updated version of the code <https://gist.github.com/zhicongchen/9e23…
def smart_procrustes_align_gensim(base_embed, other_embed, words=None):
"""Procrustes align two gensim word2vec models (to allow for comparison between same word across models).
Code ported from HistWords <https://github.com/williamleif/histwords> by William Hamilton <wleif@stanford.edu>.
(With help from William. Thank you!)
First, intersect the vocabularies (see `intersection_align_gensim` documentation).
Then do the alignment on the other_embed model.
Replace the other_embed model's syn0 and syn0norm numpy matrices with the aligned version.
Return other_embed.
