cmake - handling executable and library with same name
# Lets say we want to add a library and an executable, both with the same name.
# In this example, it is resman
add_library(resman ${src_cpps} ${src_hpps} )
target_link_libraries(resman ${Boost_LIBRARIES} ${LIBYAML} ${LIBFMT})
#
# Add resman executable
#
# We call the executable resman-bin

Let's Encrypt Nginx setup with Ansible
Ansible playbook to setup HTTPS using Let's encrypt on nginx.
The Ansible playbook installs everything needed to serve static files from a nginx server over HTTPS.
The server pass A rating on [SSL Labs](https://www.ssllabs.com/).
To use:
1. Install [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/)
2. Setup an Ubuntu 16.04 server accessible over ssh
3. Create `/etc/ansible/hosts` according to template below and change example.com to your domain
4. Copy the rest of the files to an empty directory (`playbook.yml` in the root of that folder and the rest in the `templates` subfolder)

Cryptographic Best Practices

Cryptographic Best Practices

Putting cryptographic primitives together is a lot like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, where all the pieces are cut exactly the same way, but there is only one correct solution. Thankfully, there are some projects out there that are working hard to make sure developers are getting it right.

The following advice comes from years of research from leading security researchers, developers, and cryptographers. This Gist was [forked from Thomas Ptacek's Gist][1] to be more readable. Additions have been added from

This is the script I currently use on OS X to get a working "swift-dev.xctoolchain" out of a built Swift. It isn't designed to work for anyone but me, but it should be easy to adapt. I always run this after every build, and then use `TOOLCHAINS=swift-dev swift build` (etc) to use the development compiler.
#!/bin/sh
set -e
if [ -z "${CONFIGURATION}" ]; then
CONFIGURATION=debug
fi
# Create the development toolchain.

Declare on your main init that all other init methods should call. It's a nice additional semantic warning. Works with Xcode 5.1 and above. Not tested with earlier variants, but should just be ignored. A reference to this macro shortly appeared in https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/releasenotes/ObjectiveC/ModernizationObjC/AdoptingModernObj…

A simple way to detect at runtime if we're running in UIKit legacy mode or the new "flat" variant. Written for our PDF iOS SDK (http://pspdfkit.com), where the precompiled binary needs to detect at runtime in what variant it's running. Want more stuff like that? Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/steipete
// Taken from http://PSPDFKit.com. This snippet is under public domain.
#define UIKitVersionNumber_iOS_7_0 0xB57
BOOL PSPDFIsUIKitFlatMode(void) {
static BOOL isUIKitFlatMode = NO;
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
// We get the modern UIKit if system is running >= iOS 7 and we were linked with >= SDK 7.
if (kCFCoreFoundationVersionNumber >= kCFCoreFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_7_0) {
isUIKitFlatMode = (NSVersionOfLinkTimeLibrary("UIKit") >> 16) >= UIKitVersionNumber_iOS_7_0;
}

Detect a tap on a URL inside a UITextView. Note: the rs_links method isn't included -- you'll need something that takes text and returns an array of detected links. This gist just demonstrates walking through the UITextView characters.
@implementation UITextView (RSExtras)
static BOOL stringCharacterIsAllowedAsPartOfLink(NSString *s) {
/*[s length] is assumed to be 0 or 1. s may be nil.
Totally not a strict check.*/
if (s == nil || [s length] < 1)
return NO;
