Replacing Netflix and Amazon keys of the webOS LG TV LG Magic Remote with other apps

Replacing Netflix and Amazon keys of the webOS LG TV LG Magic Remote with other apps

This procedure allows substituting one or both Netflix and Amazon keys of the Magic Remote Control Unit with other apps or TV control menus of the webOS LG TV.

Netflix and Amazon keys can be found just over the Red-Green-Yellow-Blue color buttons of such remote.

Assumption for this procedure is that you accept to uninstall the apps related to the keys to be substituted. Example: if you want to replace the Netflix key, you need to uninstall Netflix (possibly, you are not using Netflix if you do not need such key).

To uninstall Netflix or Amazon Prime, press the Home key of the Magic Remote, select the "LG Content Store" app, press "APP" at the top of the screen, press "My Apps", press the "Rem

[TIx 8] Weighted Random Sampling in Ruby

One of the many reasons I love working with Ruby is it has a rich vocabulary that allows you to accomplish your goals with a minimal amount of code. If there isn't a method that does exactly what you want, it's usually possible to build an elegant solution yourself.

Let's take the example of simulating the rolling of a die.

We can represent a die as an array of its faces.

die = [*?⚀..?⚅]
# => ["⚀", "⚁", "⚂", "⚃", "⚄", "⚅"]

Creating a Swift-ReactNative project

  2. Under project General settings, add ReactKit to Linked Framework and Libraries
    • + > Add Other... and choose /path/to/react-native/ReactKit/ReactKit.xcodeproj

If you import live data into Google Docs spreadsheets using the importdata function and you want to force a refresh at a certain interval, but you also want to ensure that some cache-busting goes on, append a querystring that's the epoch time value that the refresh occurs, so for a sheet that should grab new data every hour you could force an update like this:

importData("http://example.com/data.csv?" & hour(googleclock()) & ")")

But the url requested looks like this: http://example.com/data.csv?11 if the refresh happened at 11am. The next day at 11, the url will be the same, so there's a chance you may get cached data. To get around this, use an epoch time-based refresh. The formula:

=((date(year(googleclock()),month(googleclock()),day(googleclock())) & " " & time(hour(googleclock()), 0, 0)) - DATE( 1970;1;1))*86400

gives you the epoch timestamp for the time at the current hour. If you wanted the timest

Zero downtime deploys with unicorn + nginx + runit + rvm + chef

Below are the actual files we use in one of our latest production applications at Agora Games to achieve zero downtime deploys with unicorn. You've probably already read the GitHub blog post on Unicorn and would like to try zero downtime deploys for your application. I hope these files and notes help. I am happy to update these files or these notes if there are comments/questions. YMMV (of course).

Other application notes:

  • Our application uses MongoDB, so we don't have database migrations to worry about as with MySQL or postgresql. That does not mean that we won't have to worry about issues with the database with indexes being built in MongoDB or what have you.
  • We use capistrano for deployment.

Salient points for each file:
