How to compress PDF using ghostscript

As a developer, it bothers me when someone sends me a large pdf file compared to the number of pages. Recently, I recieved a 12MB scanned document for just one letter-sized page... so I got to googlin, like I usually do, and found ghostscript!

to learn more abot ghostscript (gs): https://www.ghostscript.com/

What we are interested in, is the gs command line tool, which provides many options for manipulating PDF, but we are interested in compressign those large PDF's into small yet legible documents.

This post contains a ranking of Steam games, based on a score intended to favor "hidden gems". A "hidden gem" is defined as a high-quality game (hence the "gem") which only got little attention (hence "hidden"). Therefore, the score of a game is defined as the product of a quality measure (its Wilson score) and a decreasing function of a popularity measure (its players total forever). The quality measure comes from SteamDB and the popularity measure comes from SteamSpy API. Finally, here is a reference to the NeoGAF post explaining the method, and the NeoGAF post explaining the idea behind the optimization of the only free parameter. The Python source code can be found on Github.

Testing SSL (LetsEncrypt certificate and loopback domain)

General approach

This sets up a publically-available domain that loops back to localhost IP address 127.0.0.1. For example, this address could be localhost.example.com if we controlled the example.com domain. This relies on having a public domain name whose DNS records you can control. We can then generate LetsEncrypt certificates for this domain.

Our HTTP server runs on localhost:80 (default HTTP port). This lets us visit http://localhost.example.com in a web browser and see the server running on localhost:80.

We then run an HTTPS proxy server on localhost:443 (default HTTPS port) that uses the LetsEncrypt certificates we generated for localhost.example.com. Visiting https://localhost.example.com hits the proxy, which returns the correct certificates meaning the browser displays the "Secure" message. The proxy then passes the request through to the HTTP server.
