Easy Twitter API OAuth 2 Access

1. Go to your applications. Create a new one, and find the values in the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret fields.

2. Use OAuth client information to produce an OAuth 2 access token:

   curl -i --user <consumer_key>:<consumer_secret> -X POST https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token -d "grant_type=client_credentials"
   
   {"access_token":"<oauth2_token>","token_type":"bearer"}%

Engineering API-driven Applications Using Service Stubs

Developing applications against foreign services like the Heroku Platform API can unlock a powerful set of otherwise unavailable features, but can come with drawbacks: development must occur online, valid credentials are required, calls your code makes will reveal and manipulate real data, and API calls in tests have to stubbed out individually.

This article will offer a short overview on how these pain points can be

SF Traffic Rules

1. Don't run red lights by more than 5 seconds. 20 seconds if you're in a bus or large truck.
2. Rule 1 doesn't apply during high traffic situations. If your green is ending and traffic hasn't moved on the other side of the light, it's okay to block the intersection as long as you're not doing it by more than four or five cars deep. Remember, pedestrian walks are a nice place to come to rest as you won't be blocking cross traffic.
3. Know the SF intersections controlled by red light cameras, and be careful with rules 2 and 3 in them. Red light cameras are blatant revenue-generating scams cooked up by malicious and profiteering governments, but receiving a ticket from one may mean that you'll have to inconviently attend court before it can be properly thrown out.
4. If you didn't see that your light was changing, it's fine to park on top of the near pedestrian walk. In these cases pedestrians must go around you, even if it means edging into oncoming traffic. Remember, you're in a car and
