This does something essentially equivalent to showoff.io if you have a publicly facing server...
# Usage: show <local-port> <subdomain>
function show() {

ssh -tR 1080:127.0.0.1:$1 vps "sudo ssh -Nl \$USER -L $REMOTE:80:127.0.0.1:1080 localhost"

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

Use some standard Python libraries to implement a chunked-transfer encoding web server with partially-working gzip support
'''

Copyright August 3, 2012
Released into the public domain
This implements a chunked server using Python threads and the built-in
BaseHTTPServer module. Enable gzip compression at your own peril - web
browsers seem to have issues, though wget, curl, Python's urllib2, my own
async_http library, and other command-line tools have no problems.
