Getting a Shell in the Docker Desktop Mac VM

2021 Update: Easiest option is Justin's repo and image

Just run this from your Mac terminal and it'll drop you in a container with full permissions on the Docker VM. This also works for Docker for Windows for getting in Moby Linux VM (doesn't work for Windows Containers).

docker run -it --rm --privileged --pid=host justincormack/nsenter1

CouchDB 2.* on Ubuntu 16.04
# See also: http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/cluster/index.html
# Before you can add nodes to form a cluster, you have to have them listen on a public ip address
# and set up an admin user (use same admin:password for all nodes).
# Do this, once per node:
# If you have installed couchdb in /opt (else change the Path)
cd /opt/couchdb/etc

Who Congress Follows on Twitter data

Find out who Congress follows on Twitter using the command line

Part of a lesson for the Stanford Journalism Computational Methods in the Civic Sphere

This is a short tutorial on how to use command-line tools, including csvfix and t, the command-line Twitter interface, to access and parse data from the Sunlight Foundation and Twitter. The end goal of this exercise is to gather who everyone in Congress follows (friends, in the parlance of Twitter), and then count up the common friends to find out which Twitter accounts are most followed by members of Congress.

Here's a screenshot of the result, after it's been imported into [Google Spreadsheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cjRJyrPYj8KAhUrot8ubPOWgbAwm0OqIgPtsswJ2sjM/edit#gid=1358907576

# Get the value of a tag for a running EC2 instance.

# This can be useful within bootstrapping scripts ("user-data").

# Note the EC3 instance needs to have an IAM role that lets it read tags. The policy
