Facebook Privacy Settings for those who still want to use Facebook

Only have five minutes? Read the highlights.

Facebook is an advertising platform that builds profiles about its users through their browsing history and sells them.

Google does the same with your search history and YouTube views. On the other hand, Facebook tracks you because a great number of web sites are littered with Facebook's tiny "Share / Like this" button. A user thinks the button is just there to make sharing easier, but it allows Facebook to keep a record every site the user has been on.

You Don't Know JS: Scope & Closures

Appendix C: Lexical-this

Though this title does not address the this mechanism in any detail, there's one ES6 topic which relates this to lexical scope in an important way, which we will quickly examine.

ES6 adds a special syntactic form of function declaration called the "arrow function". It looks like this:

You Don't Know JS: this & Object Prototypes

Chapter 2: this All Makes Sense Now!

In Chapter 1, we discarded various misconceptions about this and learned instead that this is a binding made for each function invocation, based entirely on its call-site (how the function is called).

Call-site

To understand this binding, we have to understand the call-site: the location in code where a function is called (not where it's declared). We must inspect the call-site to answer the question: what's this this a reference to?

Listing Available AWS Boto3 Exceptions

alexpareto commented on Jul 22, 2019

An ugly, but workable solution to find out what exceptions are available on each client from the command line:

import boto3
client = boto3.client('sns')  # or whatever client you're using
# client.exceptions.__dict__

cmdoptesc

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -Eeuo pipefail
trap cleanup SIGINT SIGTERM ERR EXIT

script_dir=$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" &>/dev/null && pwd -P)

usage() {
  cat <<EOF
Usage: $(basename "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}") [-h] [-v] [-f] -p param_value arg1 [arg2...]

A Brief History of Shimano Compatibility by nalc / "Always gritty in Philly"

Mirror of https://old.reddit.com/r/Velo/comments/84z9p9/a_brief_history_of_shimano_compatibility/

I promised /u/thirty-five- that I would give him another writeup for the wiki, and I've got some time today so I figured why the hell not tackle drivetrain and derailleur compatibility?

As usual, the late great Sheldon Brown is a fantastic resource, but following his passing in 2008 it is rather hit or miss whether you can find compatibility information on newer stuff.

To start off with a disclaimer, this information is compiled from a variety of sources and while I believe it to be correct, there could be mistakes. Feel free to point them out and I will correct them.

To start off, we must explain how a derailleur works. At the simplest level, the point of the derailleur is to move the chain sideways at the point where it meshes with the chainrings or sprockets, forcing the chain onto the adjacent chainring or sprocket. In ye olde
