A deep dive in a community where everything is connected — MailUp Group and Nutanix have been working together for nearly three years. The switch to a new infrastructure supplier can be tricky, so, for us, building a strong and honest relationship was of utmost importance.

Knowledge doesn’t spread automatically, but we can do something to help this process — Teamwork is a very good thing, but the coordination of a group of people sometimes leads to some problems.

This post is a quick note about a thing that could be useful, but it’s not pertinent with programming. To convert a color PDF to a grayscale PDF, the command is very simple: $ convert -colorspace GRAY -density 150 -quality 100 -gamma 2 source.pdf destination.pdf More details: convert is an utility for image manipulation and it’s a member of ImageMagick suite of tools -colorspace, obviously, permits to set the image colorspace ti grayscale

In Javascript, String objects and primitive strings are not the same thing. Javascript is able to distinguish between them and it’s very simple to break things. String literals and strings returned from String calls (the one without the new keyword) are primitive strings. …

To format numbers with locale formatting conditions, you can use toLocaleString() method of Javascript Number object. So, for example: var data = 10000000; data.toLocaleString('it-IT') // → 10.000.000 data.toLocaleString('en-US') // → 10,000,000 With this method, you can also format numbers with currency informations: data.toLocaleString('it-IT', {style: 'currency', currency: 'EUR'}) // → 10.000.000,00 €

If you pick a password that requires a minimal amount of effort to remember, it is likely to require an equally minimal amount of effort to break. Thom Langford See http://xkcd.com/936/

If you want to write your own generic bundle to redistribute, probably your intention is to permit a setting of some configuration parameters in the global config.yml. Although not very documented, it’s easy to implement. First of all let’s define our configuration. For example, you have a bundle called MyAPIBundle…
