If builds of PostgreSQL 9 are failing and you have version 8.x installed, you may need to remove the previous version first. See:

https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/issue/2510

To build plpython against a specific Python, set PYTHON prior to brewing:

PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python  brew install postgresql

The Ultimate Git Alias Setup

If you use git on the command-line, you'll eventually find yourself wanting aliases for your most commonly-used commands. It's incredibly useful to be able to explore your repos with only a few keystrokes that eventually get hardcoded into muscle memory.

Some people don't add aliases because they don't want to have to adjust to not having them on a remote server. Personally, I find that having aliases doesn't mean I that forget the underlying commands, and aliases provide such a massive improvement to my workflow that it would be crazy not to have them.

The simplest way to add an alias for a specific git command is to use a standard bash alias.

Use javaOptions sbt setting in Build.scala or build.sbt to pass jvm options to tests e.g.

• statically:

javaOptions in Test ++= Seq("-Dconfig.file=conf/staging.conf")

# In order for gpg to find gpg-agent, gpg-agent must be running, and there must be an env
# variable pointing GPG to the gpg-agent socket. This little script, which must be sourced
# in your shell's init script (ie, .bash_profile, .zshrc, whatever), will either start
# gpg-agent or set up the GPG_AGENT_INFO variable if it's already running.

# Add the following to your shell init to set up gpg-agent automatically for every shell
if [ -f ~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info ] && [ -n "$(pgrep gpg-agent)" ]; then
    source ~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info
    export GPG_AGENT_INFO

Free O'Reilly books and convenient script to just download them.

Thanks /u/FallenAege/ and /u/ShPavel/ from this Reddit post

How to use:

1. Take the download.sh file and put it into a directory where you want the files to be saved.
2. cd into the directory and make sure that it has executable permissions (chmod +x download.sh should do it)
3. Run ./download.sh and wee there it goes. Also if you do not want all the files, just simply comment the ones you do not want.

Thread Pools

Thread pools on the JVM should usually be divided into the following three categories:

1. CPU-bound
2. Blocking IO
3. Non-blocking IO polling

Each of these categories has a different optimal configuration and usage pattern.
