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...

Generating a properly secure SECRET_KEY in Django
"""
Two things are wrong with Django's default `SECRET_KEY` system:
1. It is not random but pseudo-random
2. It saves and displays the SECRET_KEY in `settings.py`
This snippet
1. uses `SystemRandom()` instead to generate a random key
2. saves a local `secret.txt`

Make push/pull work with a remote non-bare repository

Make push/pull work with a remote non-bare repository

Sometimes it is necessary (and desireable) to work on a git repository on multiple development machines. We want to be able to push and pull between repositories without having to use an intermediary bare repository, and for this to work symetrically in both repositories.

First clone we clone an existing repository:

git clone ssh://user@hostname:/path/to/repo

By default this will name the remote as origin, but let's assume we want to reserve that name for a master repository that commits will eventually get pushed to:

How to permalink to a gist's raw file

Problem: When linking to the raw version of a gist, the link changes with each revision.

Solution:

To return the first file from a gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/

To get a file from multi–file gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/[file_name]
