Re: Ruby-like difference between two arrays in JavaScript

Gustavo Marano — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 20:40:47 -0000

Hello... you are the best... I propose a change to multidimensional arrays using JSON... maybe this is so amateur, but work.
(this require jQuery to work)
----------------------------------------
function diffArrays (A, B) {

var strA = ":" + A.join("::") + ":";
var strB = ":" + B.join(":|:") + ":";

var reg = new RegExp("(" + strB + ")","gi");

var strDiff = "[[\"" + strA.replace(reg,"").replace(/^:/,"").replace(/:$/,"").replace(/,/ig,"\",\"").replace(/::/ig, "\"],[\"") + "\"]]";

//var arrDiff = strDiff.split("::");
var arrDiff = jQuery.parseJSON(strDiff);
return arrDiff;
}
--------------------------

Re: Install and enable Apache2::Request on Ubuntu Server 8.10

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

4 years later it looks like you still need to link apreq.load manually. The worse is that you don't get _any_ error mesage. The handler just dies when you call APR::Request::Apache2->handle, or any of a number of methods I tried. No message to the logs, nothing. That makes it really hard to figure out what's going on, and it's only when I added Ubuntu to my search that I finally got you post and solved the problem in 30s.So once again, THANK YOU.

Re: Deploying a Perl Dancer application on Amazon EC2

Jay Scott. — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 17:38:26 -0000

On AWS, I had to install CPAN:

yum install perl-CPAN

sudo cpanm did not work, so used:
curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo Dancer

same problem with starman, discovered cpanm --sudo option:
cpanm --sudo starman

Thanks, man, for sharing!

Re: Extracting audio from 3gp files using ffmpeg

Rob Mac — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 12:13:09 -0000

This was awesome and worked perfectly on video from my Droid Incredible 2. Thanks for figuring this out. You can extract a 3gp to a wav file too, with the following command:

ffmpeg -i myvideo.3gp -vn -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 44100 -ac 2 mywave.wav

Anyone out there reading this, don't waste your time with AoA Audio Extraction. That thing is a piece of junk that will distort your audio. The above technique works perfectly. Of course, downloading an installing ffmpeg is a bit of an intimating process if you're not well versed in the world of open source development. But if you're heart is really set on editing together a silly movie that you shot on your Android phone, stick with it!

Re: Deploying a Perl Dancer application on Amazon EC2

Looks interesting. If I were doing anything more than a single micro instance, I'd probably be interested. That said, Amazon's web-based console has become better over the last few months. It is daunting to get started but once you have some experience getting an instance up and running, it doesn't feel difficult.

Ed Byrne — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 08:26:16 -0000

Just interesting - would you have considered a Cloud Management App to simplify the AWS deployment process (ie remove TLA's and make it one-click easy to deploy a server)? We've launched a platform to do this - aimed mainly at business users - but I'm really interested to know what the developer community sees as value-adds on top of AWS/IaaS services.

Hi,

I have this set up and the basic authentication pop up does not show when I go to that location, and I get the error:

Can't locate object method "get_basic_auth_pw" via package "Apache2::RequestRec"

my $cgi=new CGI;

#get Password and login from request
my $r =shift;
my ($res,$sent_pw) = $r->get_basic_auth_pw;

Indeed. Thanks for pointing it out. I've updated the snippet above.

print "Hello World, the time here is " . localtime() . "n";

That should be a "\n" at the end, no?

Great tutorial, however. Thanks so much!!

I was thinking of taking some dedicated servers and make them run on Ubuntu. Looking at all the things you said here I get the impression that's not going to be an easy task. Still, thanks for all the info. I've bookmarked you because I get the feeling I'll need your help again.
