Using Adblock Plus subscriptions to remove ads from downloaded pages - screen-scraping

I'd like to use the adblosck plus subscriptions to remove ads from the pages I'm about to scrap. Have anyone used such approach? What is the performance of such solution? What is the algorithm used by the extension itself?

After some googling I've found the post by the extension author:

Hot to use Algolia Places integration with react-instantsearch?

Does somebody have somewhere a simple Component example of Algolia Places used with react-instantsearch ?
I am desperately trying to mix the two of them, but I can't figure out what to use : ? how ?
It's written in the docs that we should have a HTMLInputElement as a required container option, so how do you deal with React where you shouldn't be able to touch the DOM ?
Cheers
Arnaud
There is no sample available yet; However you can take a look at a few non-official implementations:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-places-autocomplete
https://www.npmjs.com/package/algolia-places-react
https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-algolia-places
We'll be building an official one soon.
While waiting for Algolia to develop their own stuff, a simple solution exists, built here :
Go to https://www.algolia.com/users/sign_up/places to get an API Key and an API Id (it's the most difficult part actually, as getting to this URL naturally on Algolia's website is so difficult that I didn't succeed yet).
Get algolia-places-react, which is the package most customisable.
Fill in your options as per the Read Me, and you're good to go !

scrypt T-SQL Function

Does anyone have a tested function that implements the scrypt algorithm in TSQL? I've searched here and the interwebs at large and to my amazement have not found a CREATE FUNCTION statement I can copy and paste.
Others doing this search, be warned, that Google will "help" you by thinking you are a moron and replacing "scrypt" with "script" on your first search, until you promise you are indeed looking for "scrypt".
I half expect the answer to this question to be a link to an existing article, but I'll be damned if I can find it. The alternative would be writing code from scratch myself, and nobody does that anymore, right?
Thanks in advance for assistance.
No, nobody has done this.
The closest you can get is finding a .NET implementation of Scrypt and wrapping it in a CLR assembly.

MongoDb and Symfony2.4 file is not stored in Gridfs

I have implemented the file upload functionality with reference to this link
http://www.slideshare.net/mongodb/mongo-db-bangalore-2012-15070802
But the file is not stored into the Gridfs.
I had done some research for the same and also with reference to this blog post
http://php-and-symfony.matthiasnoback.nl/2012/10/uploading-files-to-mongodb-gridfs-2/
But again, unfortunately, I stuck with this issue since last from 15 days
please help.
Please take a look at KnpLabs/Gaufrette and the related KnpLabs/KnpGaufretteBundle
The Gaufrette bundle provides a level of abstraction around file systems and, it helped me get file-oriented operations up and running quickly. I found it very useful, and in fact the Symfony CMS package leverages this bundle. It may help you out as well.

How to detect current path?

I am developing my first standalone web-application and i faced the problem with routing. For example my index is located in sites/folder/folder/index.php, so url for it would be http://site.com/folder/folder/index.php. So what is the best way to get all after index.php? Just use for or foreach until index.php is found or may be there is a better way?
Have you tried parsing urls by parse_url? This may help you.

Best Way to automatically find links to your content?

So, here is the task I've found myself thinking of. Pretend for a moment, that I have a large body of content. I want to see what websites are linking to my content. I know that I could look into TrackBack or PingBack but what about those that aren't using tools capable of dealing with that?
It would seem that some form of Web Crawler that looks for pages linking to the original document might be useful. My question to the greater community is what would be the best way to get started here? Do TrackBack and PingBack do more than I assume? Are there services or tools out there that already do what I'm thinking?
Google is your friend!
Use the link prefix:
link:whatsite.com
And yes, trackbacks do more.
If you have HTTP referers setup in your logs, you can mine them.
You can even discover pages taht does not know about.
Else, there is the paying Linkscape from Seomoz or the free majesticSEO (if you confirm ownership of the domain).
MajesticSEO has a bigger backlink index and an API (need to login!).
