"""A simple demonstration of running background tasks with Tornado.

Here I am using a basic TCP server which handles streams and keeps
them open while asynchronously performing a fake task in the
background. In order to test it, simply telnet to localhost port 8080
and start typing things to see that the server receives the messages.

The advantage to running on an executor instead of conventional
threads is that we can more easily shut it down by stopping the
tornado IO loop.

Qlobe

Qlobe is a fascinating example of quine in Ruby, submitted by a member of the Ruby core team - Yusuke Endoh.

Programs that output changed executable versions of themselves while managing to spin the globe and still remaining executable are cool, right?

To experience its magic, run the following

curl -fSSl https://gist.githubusercontent.com/shime/f0ebe84ca42c33b51d42/raw/5e74315dc6b6fe572f8a457536ad7eb17ad3f1e4/qlobe.rb > qlobe.rb; while true; do ruby qlobe.rb | tee temp.rb; sleep 1; mv -f temp.rb qlobe.rb; done

Elixir installation guide

Version numbers should be the ones you want. Here I do it with the last ones available at the moment of writing.

The simplest way to install elixir is using your package manager. Sadly, at the time of writing only Fedora shows the intention to keep its packages up to date. There you can simply sudo dnf install erlang elixir and you are good to go.

Anyway, if you intend to work with several versions of erlang or elixir at the same time, or you are tied to a specific version, you will need to compile it yourself. Then asdf is your best friend.

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

• -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
• -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

introduction

This workshop will cover the basics of the CPython runtime and interpreter. There is an enormous amount of material to cover, and I'll try to to rush through as much as I can.
