Dealing with the error message: "Cross origin requests are only supported for HTTP."

I know I have dealt with this before, but I found a Stack Overflow thread that does a pretty good job of explaining this problem.  Plus, the thread shows you how to use Python to fire up a simple web server to get around the issue:

Multiprocessing Versus Threading in Python

I keep forgetting the difference between multiprocessing and threading in Python.  This Stack Overflow thread explains the difference between the two pretty well:

Pushing to a remote bitbucket repository with Mercurial

Ugh.  This is a lot harder than it ought to be.  I am finding that a lot of activities with Mercurial is just easier to do through the command line instead of TortoiseHg.

If you want to push to your bitbucket repo, type this command in your directory:

> hg push https://username@bitbucket.org/username/someproject

However, the smarter way is to go into the .hg directory and modify the hgrc file like so:

[paths]
default-push = https://username@bitbucket.org/username/someproject

Now just type 'hg push' at the command prompt.

If you do not see the hgrc file, then you will have to make one!

Copying Text To And From the Command Prompt in Microsoft

When programming in a Microsoft development environment, I actually find the Command Prompt to be fairly useful.  However, I keep forgetting how to copy and paste text to it.  This page shows you how:

Managing Multiple Versions of Python with pyenv

I have been recently working on a project that needed to be tested on multiple versions of Python.  I found pyenv to be invaluable:

https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv

This project was apparently forked rbenv and ruby-build and works about the same.

I also found this article useful:

Python + Gmail = Email Adventures!

Today I learned how to send email using Gmail as a service provider.  I learned from reading this thread:

Location of bower_components directory in AngularJS phone tutorial

I'm actually enjoying the Angular JS tutorial: http://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial

However, I have a sneaking suspicion that the bower_components directory should be located on the same level as the app directory (not inside of it).

christohersmbp2:angular-phonecat christopherspears$ ll | awk '{print $9}'

LICENSE

README.md

app/

bower.json

bower_components/ <- moved it here

node_modules/

npm-debug.log

package.json

scripts/

test/

Am I wrong?
