brandonaaskov / jQuery Change Event: Proper Binding
Created January 11, 2012 21:34
jQuery's change() event doesn't work as expected with input text fields. This, however, does work.
/*
For some reason, the change() event only fires when the input field loses focus.
Binding to other options ('change keypress paste focus textInput input') will
fire the event several times, which is bad. The below code works even when
content is pasted into the text field, and only fires once as expected.
*/
$('#search-form .term').bind('input', function(){
console.log('this actually works');
});

Setting up Nginx, uWSGI & Python3
======================================
Setting up Nginx, uWSGI and Python3
======================================
First off, I'm traditionally a PHP developer, but am looking at moving across to Python. I really struggled to find decent documentation on how to get a server up and running for deploying Python web applications from the point of view of someone coming from PHP. The main problems I came across with documentation were:
1) Only showed you how to run the server for a single web application.
2) Only showed you how to configure the app, not the server it was running on.
My preferred workflow for development is by setting up a new VM in VMware Fusion and then forwarding through all requests to that VM via /etc/hosts. This might not be the optimal way to get things up and running, but it works for me.

Description of making a stateless iterator for Lua.
-- The section describing iterators was configusing to me. http://www.lua.org/pil/7.1.html
--
-- I think it simpler to describe the 'stateless' iterator first, then
-- go into the nitty details of a 'stateful' iterator using closures.
--
--
-- Example of making an iterator in lua
--
-- The 'real' syntax for the 'for' statement is this
-- for <v> in <iter-fn>, <thing_2_iterate>, <initial-key> do

# Instruct the interpreter to create a network request and create an object representing the request state. This can be done using the urllib module.
import urllib.request
import tarfile
thetarfile = "http://file.tar.gz"
ftpstream = urllib.request.urlopen(thetarfile)
thetarfile = tarfile.open(fileobj=ftpstream, mode="r|gz")
thetarfile.extractall()
# The ftpstream object is a file-like that represents the connection to the ftp server. Then the tarfile module can access this stream. Since we do not pass the filename, we have to specify the compression in the mode parameter.
