I saw him on a crowded dance floor. Mel, that guy I met a few months ago but never truly connected with. I felt some panic, my heart started to race, but not from the beat of the music. It was fear. Fear of making the first move, fear of rejection, fear born from my own stubborn pride. Little did I know, overcoming this fear would lead to one of the most valuable friendships of my life....
I miss the time when I was still exploring a lot of things in the Linux world. Nowadays, I’m mostly working with servers that are pre-provisioned and almost ready out of the box.

Have fun while doing it. Server Providers I looked into two dedicated, Kimsufi and One Provider seems to fit my needs....
Today, I tried starting our local django development environment but it failed because of this error. OSError: dlopen(lib/python2.7/site-packages/_scrypt.so, 6): Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib What does this error mean?

A quick solution is to soft link it to the exact same path as previous and hope that the api didn’t change much....

Well, shame on me for reading those, but they were fun, and I learned a lot....
We had an experience where the type of a field change base on certain conditions. We think this is bad, but we have to support it. Here’s how. You’ll have to specify the field type as an interface. type P struct { T interface{} `json:"t"` } After that, you’ll need to use switch to determine the type. In our case, we needed it as int. var i int var p P s := `{"t": "3460"}` // should also work with // s := `{"t": 3460}` if err := json....
