My Experience with Amazon Mechanical Turk

During my regular perusal of Hacker News a little while back, I ran across what appeared to be an interesting blog post, specifically Peter Thiel’s CS183: Startup - Class 4 Notes Essay by Blake Masters. Not knowing much at the time, I just saw that it was notes for a lecture given on startups and thought it would be worth checking out. To bring you up to speed now, though, they are notes for an actual course at Stanford University with Peter Thiel as one of the lecturers, a PayPal co-founder. Now, there are tons of interesting blog posts and articles that show up on HN. Most of which I end up browsing and often discard a few paragraphs in. Though there are still more I would like to read through completely but I just don’t have the time. Particularly as I am a rather slow reader. Thus when I came across these notes at around 6200 words, I was a bit saddened as I figured I would never get around to reading through it. I just so happened to have recently read through this great artic...

Changing Password Requirements with SailsJS and Passport

Cross post from my employer's development blog: http://rootinc.github.io/2016/03/16/pass-requirements-sails/ If you perform an installation of [Passport][passport] with [SailsJS][sails] using the [Sails Passport Auth Generator][sails-generate-auth] you get several files in your app already configured for you. If you then use passport-local, you will already have a complexity requirement on the password. It defaults to requiring 8 characters minimum, letters, numbers, and symbols. What if you want to change this requirement? In the generated model file `Passport.js`, you should see a line that says `provider : { type: 'alphanumericdashed' },` and `password : { type: 'string', minLength: 6 }`. The minLength is an easy and obvious change. What about the complexity requirement though? This stumped me for a bit. There doesn’t seem to be any mention of these keywords or providers on the Passport official site, nor anything in the [Passport-local repository][pass...

A Very Simple Network Connection with Node

Let’s say we want a very simple NodeJS server that listens on a specified port and writes the data it receives from TCP connections to a file. How easy can we code this up? Turns out this is fairly simple with NodeJS. Require the necessary modules and instantiate a server. var server = require ( 'net' ). createServer (); var fs = require ( 'fs' ); server . listen ( 14300 , serverReady ); Start listening on a port, call function ‘serverReady’ when the server’s bound and ready to start receiving incoming connections. function serverReady (){ server . on ( 'connection' , handleConnection ); } Assign an event handler on the server to call ‘handleConnection’ whenever a client connects to the bound server. The handler will receive the socket object for an argument. function handleConnection ( socket ){ socket . setEncoding ( 'utf8' ); socket . on ( 'data' , writeData ); } When we get a connection, set the ...
