This script performs the following actions:
- Creates a TLS certificate in ACM
- Upserts a validation CNAME record in Route 53
- Waits for the validation CNAME record to complete/update
- Waits for the certificate to validate and issue
- Outputs a description of the certificate
This obviously assumes that your domain's DNS is hosted on Route 53. It also uses the AWS credentials and region for the environment it is executed in.
The response to my first few posts has been much larger than I’d imagined and I’d like to thank everyone for the encouragement.
If you’re interested in building a trading system I recommend first reading my previous post on general ideas to keep in mind.
My first really technical post will be on how to build a limit order book, probably the single most important component of a trading system. Because the data structure chosen to represent the limit order book will be the primary source of market information for trading models, it is important to make it both absolutely correct and extremely fast.
To give some idea of the data volumes, the Nasdaq TotalView ITCH feed, which is every event in every instrument traded on the Nasdaq, can have data rates of 20+ gigabytes/day with spikes of 3 megabytes/second or more. The individual messages average about 20 bytes each so this means handling

While attempting to explain JavaScript's reduce method on arrays, conceptually, I came up with the following - hopefully it's helpful; happy to tweak it if anyone has suggestions.
JavaScript Arrays have lots of built in methods on their prototype. Some of them mutate - ie, they change the underlying array in-place. Luckily, most of them do not - they instead return an entirely distinct array. Since arrays are conceptually a contiguous list of items, it helps code clarity and maintainability a lot to be able to operate on them in a "functional" way. (I'll also insist on referring to an array as a "list" - although in some languages, List is a native data type, in JS and this post, I'm referring to the concept. Everywhere I use the word "list" you can assume I'm talking about a JS Array) This means, to perform a single operation on the list as a whole ("atomically"), and to return a new list - thus making it mu
FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

A simple script that resets latest MAMP PRO 4 trial validity, and keeps your data safe.
- Copy the code into a file OR download the script and save it as reset_mamp4.sh
- Open the Terminal app and write
chmod +xthen drag and drop the file on the Terminal. You should have something likechmod +x reset_mamp4.sh. Press Enter to run it. - Now, run the file itself by dragging and dropping it on the Terminal (something like
reset_mamp4.sh) then pressing Enter. - Open MAMP PRO and check if you have 14 days left now.
Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

- User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.
Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

- There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
This will create a proxy server in whatever your availability zone your VPC is in. For me, that's us-east-1b. For you, that may be something different. Steps 10+ should more or less work regardless of your provider since those steps cover the setup and configuration of TinyProxy.
- Click the Launch Instance button.
- Choose Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (HVM), SSD Volume Type. This isn't strictly necessary. If you choose another OS, check its documentation for how to install new packages.
- On the Choose an Instance Type screen, select t2.micro. It's Free Tier eligible.
- Click the Next: ... buttons until you reach the Configure Security Group screen.
- You may wish to reduce the amount of storage on the Add Storage screen. This is optional.
- You may wish to add a tag on the Tag Instance screen. This is also optional.
- On the Configure Security Group screen:
- Select Create a new security group.
Kris Nuttycombe asks:
I genuinely wish I understood the appeal of unityped languages better. Can someone who really knows both well-typed and unityped explain?
I think the terms well-typed and unityped are a bit of question-begging here (you might as well say good-typed versus bad-typed), so instead I will say statically-typed and dynamically-typed.
I'm going to approach this article using Scala to stand-in for static typing and Python for dynamic typing. I feel like I am credibly proficient both languages: I don't currently write a lot of Python, but I still have affection for the language, and have probably written hundreds of thousands of lines of Python code over the years.
