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.

Virtual Hosts on nginx (CSC309)

When hosting our web applications, we often have one public IP address (i.e., an IP address visible to the outside world) using which we want to host multiple web apps. For example, one may wants to host three different web apps respectively for example1.com, example2.com, and example1.com/images on the same machine using a single IP address.

How can we do that? Well, the good news is Internet browsers

Demo

What demos are?

A file type (with the .dem extension) containing recorded events that can be edited and played back in-game. Demos can be edited to change camera angles, speed up, slow down, play music, and other functions. (from Valve wiki)

Benefits

• You have your every game archived once enabled. Something nice happened to game? You can always get back to it!
• It takes way less size than a video and about no system resources compared to its recording.

public static byte[] readUri(Context context, Uri uri) throws IOException {
    ParcelFileDescriptor pdf = context.getContentResolver().openFileDescriptor(uri, "r");

    assert pdf != null;
    assert pdf.getStatSize() <= Integer.MAX_VALUE;
    byte[] data = new byte[(int) pdf.getStatSize()];

    FileDescriptor fd = pdf.getFileDescriptor();
    FileInputStream fileStream = new FileInputStream(fd);
    fileStream.read(data);

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;

Programming as Theory Building

Peter Naur

Peter Naur's classic 1985 essay "Programming as Theory Building" argues that a program is not its source code. A program is a shared mental construct (he uses the word theory) that lives in the minds of the people who work on it. If you lose the people, you lose the program. The code is merely a written representation of the program, and it's lossy, so you can't reconstruct
