Simple python code to compress (jpeg/png) images uploaded to S3. In this use case I want to compress down all images that are over 500 KB down to 80% quality which brings the images down to about 100KB. Feel free to muck with the values.

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

A basic .vimrc file that will serve as a good template on which to build.
" Don't try to be vi compatible
set nocompatible
" Helps force plugins to load correctly when it is turned back on below
filetype off
" TODO: Load plugins here (pathogen or vundle)
" Turn on syntax highlighting
syntax on

The best explanation of Python decorators I’ve ever seen. (An archived answer from StackOverflow.)

NOTE: This is a question I found on StackOverflow which I’ve archived here, because the answer is so effing phenomenal.


Q: How can I make a chain of function decorators in Python?


If you are not into long explanations, see [Paolo Bergantino’s answer][2].

Fastest uuid generator for node.js

Now published as @root/uuid

This is started out as a curiosity, pasted as a gist but now, years later, I've come back to it because there are too many of these uuid modules out there and they're too complicated.

This, however, is easy to read and understand (for me, at least). Even its tests are dependncy and build-step free.

node-uuid vs crazy-uuid vs fast-uuid
