Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...

Upgrade PostgreSQL 9.6.5 to 10.0 using Homebrew (macOS)
After automatically updating Postgres to 10.0 via Homebrew, the pg_ctl start command didn't work.
The error was "The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 9.6, which is not compatible with this version 10.0."
Database files have to be updated before starting the server, here are the steps that had to be followed:
# need to have both 9.6.x and latest 10.0 installed, and keep 10.0 as default
brew unlink postgresql
brew install postgresql@9.6
brew unlink postgresql@9.6
brew link postgresql

// A short snippet for detecting versions of IE in JavaScript
// without resorting to user-agent sniffing
// ----------------------------------------------------------
// If you're not in IE (or IE version is less than 5) then:
// ie === undefined
// If you're in IE (>=5) then you can determine which version:
// ie === 7; // IE7
// Thus, to detect IE:
// if (ie) {}

Last active July 6, 2023 19:53
A simple Ops helper script for Apache Kafka to generate a partition reassignment JSON snippet for moving partition leadership away from a given Kafka broker. Use cases include 1) safely restarting a broker while minimizing risk of data loss, 2) replacing a broker, 3) preparing a broker for maintenance.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# File: kafka-move-leadership.sh
#
# Description
# ===========
#
# Generates a Kafka partition reassignment JSON snippet to STDOUT to move the leadership
# of any replicas away from the provided "source" broker to different, randomly selected
# "target" brokers. Run this script with `-h` to show detailed usage instructions.
