How to create a setter in djano models that doesn't mess up the admin or .filter queries!
class MyModel(models.Model):
foo = models.CharField(max_length=20)
bar = models.CharField(max_length=20)
def __setattr__(self, attrname, val):
setter_func = 'setter_' + attrname
if attrname in self.__dict__ and callable(getattr(self, setter_func, None)):
super(MyModel, self).__setattr__(attrname, getattr(self, setter_func)(val))
else:
super(MyModel, self).__setattr__(attrname, val)

A list of questions you could ask while interviewing

A lot of these are outright stolen from Edward O'Campo-Gooding's list of questions. I really like his list.

I'm having some trouble paring this down to a manageable list of questions -- I realistically want to know all of these things before starting to work at a company, but it's a lot to ask all at once. My current game plan is to pick 6 before an interview and ask those.

I'd love comments and suggestions about any of these.

I've found questions like "do you have smart people? Can I learn a lot at your company?" to be basically totally useless -- everybody will say "yeah, definitely!" and it's hard to learn anything from them. So I'm trying to make all of these questions pretty concrete -- if a team doesn't have an issue tracker, they don't have an issue tracker.

I'm also mostly not asking about principles, but the way things are -- not "do you think code review is important?", but "Does all code get reviewed?".

Lenovo Yoga 13 tablet mode / auto rotation script (ubuntu/debian)
#!/bin/bash
#
# yoga-auto-rotate -- ghetto-style tablet mode, with keyboard and all.
#
# Simple little script that will detect an orientation change for a
# Lenovo Yoga 13 (very hackily) and adjust the active display's
# orientation and disable/enable the touchpad as necessary.
#
# The Yoga 13 will emit keycode `e03e` at one second intervals
# when the screen is flipped into tablet mode. Since this keycode

Below are simple styles to "flatten" bootstrap. I didn't go through every control and widget that bootstrap offers, only what was required for https://commando.io, so your milage may vary.
