Adblock time to time can’t handle this simple task to hide pre rolls on YouTube, so, you can use this simple trick.
Just update your hosts file using these lines:
127.0.0.1 ads.youtube.com
127.0.0.1 s0.2mdn.net
127.0.0.1 s1.2mdn.net
127.0.0.1 googleads.g.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 pubads.g.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 static.doubleclick.netDone!
Next level of craziness — host file with 15K+ lines, check this out.
Just a code snippet to manage cookies in a simple way:
function cookie(name,value,expire) {
var D = document,d,r,c,n,f;
if (void 0 != value) {
d = new Date;
d.setDate(d.getDate()+expire);
D.cookie = name + "=" + escape(value) + ((null==expire) ? "" : ";expires=" + d.toGMTString());
} else {
r = [], c = D.cookie.split(";");
for (n = 0; n < c.length; n++) (f = c[n].match(RegExp("^\\s*"+name+"=\\s*(.*?)\\s*$"))) && r.push(f[1]);
return r[0]?r[0]:!1;
}
}You can set, read or delete cookie:
cookie(name,val);
cookie(name);
cookie(name,'',-1);GitHub gist available here.
This is VK/KittenPHP-DB-Engine project, consisting of efficient PHP-to-C++ translator called “KPHP” or “KittenPHP”, and several auxiliary high-performance “engines” (specialized non-relational databases), needed for its deployment.
It has been developed since 2009 mostly by Vkontakte Ltd, operator of social network VK.COM, and thoroughfully tested in high-performance enviroments, until a version useful for the general public was obtained. Fulfilling several previously given public promises, this version is now released for public use under GPL/LGPL terms.
Source code is licensed mostly under GPL version 2 or later.
Tests sources available here.
Russian-language documentation is available at Github.

CarPlay features Siri voice control and is specially designed for driving scenarios. It also works with your car’s controls — knobs, buttons, or touchscreen. And the apps you want to use in the car have been reimagined, so you can use them while your eyes and hands stay where they belong.
The power and simplicity of Apple Maps come to your dashboard — complete with turn‑by‑turn directions, traffic conditions, and estimated travel time. CarPlay can also predict where you most likely want to go using addresses from your email, text messages, contacts, and calendars.

Parralax.js – Simple, lightweight parallax engine that reacts to the orientation of a smart device.
Besides mouse/cursor support, it works on mobile and tablet (where gyroscope or motion detection hardware is available) too.
It comes with multiple options for customizing the effect where they can be set inline using “data attributes” or in JavaScript.
Parallax.js reacts to the orientation of your smart device, offsetting layers depending on their depth within a scene… Oh, you don’t have a smart device? No worries, if no gyroscope or motion detection hardware is available, parallax.js uses the position of your cursor instead. Radical.
