There are plenty of broken jsfiddles for this, so to save time, here is some code that works: boostrap-scrollspy

This jsbin demonstrates how to use a CoffeeScript class to implement an Angular Service, using Service, Factory and Provider styles. You may have to click “Run with JS” to update Output pane. Download gist from github.

Update: by itself this is not enough, since services usually have to inherit other resources, and look something like this:

angular.module("app")
.service('thumbService', ['$log', '$q', ($log, $q) ->
...

A working example (using .factory instead of .service) from the angular-grunt-coffeescript seed app:

###
Example of a service shared across views.
Wrapper around the data layer for the app. 
###
name = 'common.services.dataSvc'

class DataSvc

	constructor: (@$log, @$http, @env) ->

	_get: (relPath)->
		return @$http.get("#{@env.serverUrl}/#{relPath}")

	getPeople: () ->
		return @_get('people')

	getPerson: (id) ->
		return @_get("person/#{id}")

angular.module(name, []).factory(name, ['$log','$http', 'common.services.env', ($log, $http, env) ->
	new DataSvc($log, $http, env)
])

Some C functions accept more than one type of struct, so I wanted a Go wrapper able to pass a uintptr derived from an interface{}. Go’s reflect package makes this easy:

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "reflect"
)

type USN_JOURNAL_DATA struct {
  UsnJournalID    int
  FirstUsn        uint32
  NextUsn         uint32
  LowestValidUsn  uint32
  MaxUsn          uint32
  MaximumSize     uint32
  AllocationDelta uint32
}

func doitA(ujd *USN_JOURNAL_DATA) (size uintptr, align int, p uintptr) {
  v := reflect.ValueOf(ujd)
  t := v.Elem().Type()
  size = t.Size()
  align = t.Align()
  p = v.Pointer()
  return
}

func doitB(i interface{}) (size uintptr, align int, p uintptr) {
  v := reflect.ValueOf(i)
  t := v.Elem().Type()
  size = t.Size()
  align = t.Align()
  p = v.Pointer()
  return
}

func main() {
  a := USN_JOURNAL_DATA{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
  size, align, p := doitA(&a)
  fmt.Println(size, align, p)
  size, align, p = doitB(&a)
  fmt.Println(size, align, p)
}

Interestingly, as demonstrated above, the same implementation can be used for a func accepting either a struct pointer or an interface{}.

Go is a wonderful language, able to build complex applications with very minimal configuration information. For many apps, only import statements are required.

However, there are a couple of special import cases worth knowing about:

import . “github.com/user/repo”

From golang.org: “If a program imports a standard package using import . “path”, additional names defined in the imported package in future releases may conflict with other names defined in the program. We do not recommend the use of import . outside of tests, and using it may cause a program to fail to compile in future releases.”

import _ “github.com/user/repo”

From Andrew Gerrand (Google): “Prefixing an import
with an underscore causes the package to be imported for its
side-effects only. (that is, it’s init functions are executed and
global variables initialized)”

Raspberry Pi (and Cubieboard) SD disk images typically have two (or three) partitions: the first is Fat32 (50-100MB) and includes the boot files, while the second (>1GB) contains the main Linux image. With compression, the combined image can be reduced from several GB (of mostly empty space) to a couple hundred MB.

With a regular Linux desktop computer that has kpartx and mksquashfs installed, you can convert the second partition to SquashFS like this:

$ sudo kpartx -av image_you_want_to_convert.img
add map loop0p1 (252:5): 0 117187 linear /dev/loop0 1
add map loop0p2 (252:6): 0 3493888 linear /dev/loop0 118784
$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/loop0p2 /mnt
$ sudo mksquashfs /mnt converted_image.img -comp lzo -e lib/modules
$ sudo umount /mnt
$ sudo kpartx -d image_you_want_to_convert.img

With a bit of hacking, it’s possible to target older iOS devices than those normally supported by the latest SDK:

Download SourceTree command line tools from:

https://downloads.sourcetreeapp.com/SourceTreeAppStoreCmdLineToolInstaller.pkg

To open repo in current folder:

stree .

Configure remotes

To keep track of the original repo, you need to add another remote named upstream:

cd Spoon-Knife
git remote add upstream https://github.com/octocat/Spoon-Knife.git # Assigns the original repo to a remote called “upstream”

Pull in upstream changes

If the original repo you forked your project from gets updated, you can add those updates to your fork by running the following code:

git fetch upstream                     # Fetches any new changes from the original repo
git merge upstream/master    # Merges any changes fetched into your working files

replace submodule repo

You should just be able to edit the .gitmodules file to update the URL and then run git submodule sync to reflect that change to the superproject and your working copy.

recursive submodule init and update

git submodule update –init –recursive

update only

git submodule update –recursive

recursive add submodule

git submodule add foo
git submodule update –init –recursive

If you haven’t already done it, you have to set up the EPEL repository.

For 32bit:

rpm -Uvh https://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm

For 64bit:

rpm -Uvh https://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm

Next install Nginx and spawn-fcgi, I assume you have already installed PHP and all the modules you need.

yum install nginx spawn-fcgi

Now it’s time for the spawn-fcgi configuration. The config should be at /etc/sysconfig/spawn-fcgi.

vim /etc/sysconfig/spawn-fcgi

# You must set some working options before the “spawn-fcgi” service will work.
# If SOCKET points to a file, then this file is cleaned up by the init script.
#
# See spawn-fcgi(1) for all possible options.
#
# Example :
#SOCKET=/var/run/php-fcgi.sock
OPTIONS=”-a 127.0.0.1 -p 9000 -u nginx -g nginx -C 32 -F 1 -P /var/run/spawn-fcgi.pid — /usr/bin/php-cgi”

It’s very important that you remember the port, you’ll have to set the same in the nginx configuration. You should also use the same username and group as nginx.
To play it safe, make sure the following line is not commented in the file /etc/init.d/spawn-fcgi:

config=”/etc/sysconfig/spawn-fcgi”

Now let’s make sure that spawn-fcgi and nginx automatically start after a reboot.

chkconfig –level 2345 nginx on
chkconfig –level 2345 spawn-fcgi on

For more information about chkconfig check this site:https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-services-chkconfig.html

Next up we have to fix a folder permission. The group of the session cookies folder, the address can be found in the php.ini (session.save_path = “/var/lib/php/session”). The folder group has to be changed from apache to whatever you use, e. g. nginx. You should check this after every php update.

As a last step, just add the following line to the /etc/nginx.conf and/or your custom domain configuration in /etc/nginx/conf.d/yourdomain.conf.

location ~ .php$ {
include        fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass   localhost:9000;
fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}

You should also make some additional changes in your configuration.
