The Diamond operator is almost exclusively used in a while-loop. It allows us to iterate over the rows in all the files given on the command line. Diamond – using $, the default variable We can make the above example even more compact by remembering that certain operation in Perl will use $, the default variable of Perl, if no explicit variable is given. use strict; use warnings; while () { print if /perl/; }  Read More →

apex, bare domain ( domain without www) and www.domain.com should point to the same IP. In amazon load balance or some of the cloud solution, they do not provide us a static IP, they provide us a name and asks us to point our domain to their domain. There is no problem with www.domain.com , but we can’t point apex domain (domain.com) to a cname record, it ‘s because the current DNS RFC does not allow this. There are many dns hosting providers customized their DNS to support this feature. If you are using Route53, you can use the script below to monitor the differenceRead More →

There are some situation  when we run a time-consuming process, we need to see the output of that command to see its progress. Normally, we would have to wait until the process ends , then we can see the output. The reason for this is because web or standard output normally buffer some contents, it will wait for enough data to print out to the client. To fix this issue, we tell our server/script not buffering anything, print out immediately when it can. Here are some steps that i did in Python. Step1: Tell the server not buffering anything, don’t use gzip ( if weRead More →
