GDB Cheatsheet

Setup

First of all, we need to install GDB: sudo apt install gdb

Next we will be installing an extension to GDB called pwndbg that will make our life easier. Instructions for installation are here.

You can verify that your installation works by running gdb /bin/true in your command line, then running start when the prompt shows.

Based on this blogpost.

To sign Git commits, you need a gpg key. GPG stands for GNU Privacy Guard and is the de facto implementation of the OpenPGP message format. PGP stands for ‘Pretty Good Privacy’ and is a standard to sign and encrypt messages.

Setting up

Install with Homebrew:

$ brew install gpg

 let cipher = crypto.createCipheriv('aes-256-cbc', Buffer.from(ENCRYPTION_KEY), iv);

System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

1. Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

• User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
  • Who is going to use it?
  • How are they going to use it?

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Comparison of ASP.NET and Node.js for Backend Programming

We will compare ASP.NET and Node.js for backend programming.
Source codes from examples.

Updates

This document was published on 21.09.2015 for a freelance employer. Some changes since then (14.02.2016):

1. Koa.js no longer uses co-routines, it has switched to Babel's async/await. yield and await are used almost in the same way, so I see no point to rewrite the examples.

This guide assumes that you recently run brew upgrade postgresql and discovered to your dismay that you accidentally bumped from one major version to another: say 9.3.x to 9.4.x. Yes, that is a major version bump in PG land.

First let's check something.

brew info postgresql

The top of what gets printed as a result is the most important:
