During the reign of Sultan Mehmet IV (r. 1648-87), the Dîvân-ı Hümâyûn (imperial council) would meet every other morning in a domed chamber of the Topkapi Palace. When the Grand Vizier and his ministers had dealt with affairs of state, they would sit down to a magnificent lunch. Like the palace itself, the meal was a microcosm of the Ottoman Empire. There were six courses, each more sumptuous than the last. First came dane, a fragrant rice, known elsewhere as pilaf. Then there was şurba-ı makiyan (chicken soup), followed by çömlek aşi (a delicate stew, made from lamb or beef). After this came a sweet dish, such as baklava or muhalebbi (milk pudding); and, to round it off, there was a kebab or köfte. The centrepiece of the whole meal, however, was börek – a savoury pastry made from yufka (a delicate, filo-like dough) and filled with feta cheese, parsley, chicken, minced meat and, occasionally, a few vegetables, such as potato, spinach, leek or courgette. Delicate yet flavoursome, it was revered as the culinary epitome of Ottoman culture: a taste of poetic refinement, courtly elegance and timeless urbanity.

These scripts are automatically generated from YAML files which can be found under specs/.

The format supports nested subcommands, specifying enums for possible parameters/option values and dynamic completion calling an external command.

The generation is done with the appspec tool (see "Developing" below).

Currently it supports bash and zsh completions.

DevOps is the professional practice of frequent, continued, and iterative improvements through measurable changes, the goal of which is to become a high-velocity organization thus improving business outcomes.

Last Christmas, the inimitable Matt Trout (mst) created an opinionated tour of CPAN where he recommended modules for some common problems. I think its brilliant, useful, and entertaining and I’ve decided to compile a high level overview all on one page in order to create a quick reference.

I’ve tried to distill his wisdom and wit down to a few words. But I recommend clicking the section headers and following the links to Matt’s original posts to see his actual real opinions in their full complexity. This single page can’t replace 16 great posts and he usually includes advice on the best way to use the module. You won’t want to miss that.

sql.js is a port of SQLite to Webassembly, by compiling the SQLite C code with Emscripten. It uses a virtual database file stored in memory, and thus doesn't persist the changes made to the database. However, it allows you to import any existing sqlite file, and to export the created database as a JavaScript typed array.

There are no C bindings or node-gyp compilation here, sql.js is a simple JavaScript file, that can be used like any traditional JavaScript library. If you are building a native application in JavaScript (using Electron for instance), or are working in node.js, you will likely prefer to use a native binding of SQLite to JavaScript.

SQLite is public domain, sql.js is MIT licensed.

Sql.js predates WebAssembly, and thus started as an asm.js project. It still supports asm.js for backwards compatibility.

dygraphs is a fast, flexible open source JavaScript charting library.

It allows users to explore and interpret dense data sets.

The chart is interactive:

• you can mouse over to highlight individual values.
• You can click and drag to zoom.
• Double-clicking will zoom you back out.
• Shift-drag will pan.
• You can change the number and hit enter to adjust the averaging period.

Features:

• Handles huge data sets: dygraphs plots millions of points without getting bogged down.
• Interactive out of the box: zoom, pan and mouseover are on by default.
• Strong support for error bars / confidence intervals.
• Highly customizable: using options and custom callbacks, you can make dygraphs do almost anything.
• dygraphs is works in all recent browsers. You can even pinch to zoom on mobile/tablet devices!
• There's an active community developing and supporting dygraphs.
