Getting the Most out of Bundler Groups - iain.nl
Did you know you can create as many groups in Bundler as you like? You can and I think you should! Let me show you some ways I use groups to clean up my Gemfile. Why groups? Speed: Requiring gems can get slow, even more so when you have a lot of them. Groups help you require the gems only when they are needed. This is especially true if you use Ruby 1.9.2. In this version of Ruby, the require stat
The Meta-Story: How Wired Published Its GitHub Story on GitHub
Earlier this week, Wired published a story about GitHub, the "version control" site that's taking the internet by storm. But it was more than just a story. It was an experiment in version control. In addition to publishing our GitHub story on Wired, we published our GitHub story on GitHub. Earlier this week, Wired published a story about GitHub, the "version control" site that's taking the interne
The importance of commit messages | Wildbit
Once you get past the prototyping, unit tests and the code what you have is the only real documentation anyone is going to update.— Something that sounds like “Code Complete†or another McConnell classic. A good software development process is all about communication.— 37 Signals about Basecamp. Thank you, Captain Obvious— Anonymous lolcat. Communication is the mantra of two of my long-time feeds.
The Real Difference Between Git and Mercurial
I have a friend who is quite proficient with git but has recently started a job that uses mercurial for their development and he’s been learning how to use it. I used this opportunity to do some research into the history of git and mercurial and why they’ve turned out to be such different (yet similar) tools. I will start off by saying that I am a fan of git but my intention is not to show that on
On commit messages
In the last few weeks, I've had a surprising number of discussions about commit messages. Many of them were with developers new to a project, trying to get them started. So here's a list of things you should do when committing, and why you should do it. Hint: the linux kernel mailing list gets it right, go there to learn. Any software project is a collaborative project. It has at least two develop
Writing better commit messages by Louis Brandy
If you and your team are in the habit of writing good commit messages, it can save everyone a tremendous amount of time and effort. Other developers can very quickly see what you’ve done. It’ll also save tons of time tracking down commits from the past when you need to find them. A good commit message serves exactly two purposes: it gives other developers an explanation of the commit, and it gives
Never create Ruby strings longer than 23 characters - Pat Shaughnessy
Looking at things through a microscope sometimes leads to surprising discoveries Obviously this is an utterly preposterous statement: it’s hard to think of a more ridiculous and esoteric coding requirement. I can just imagine all sorts of amusing conversations with designers and business sponsors: “No... the size of this <input> field should be 23... 24 is just too long!†Or: “We need to explain t

Dropbox: the new file system of the web | Collaborable
The Dropbox REST API is going to forever change the way people interact with web apps for business. It allows your web app to put and pull data from any user’s desktop or mobile device. What this really means is that users of web apps (specifically small business) don’t need to struggle with your crappy UI, and you don’t need to reinvent the spreadsheet to unlock powerful new interactions and poss

CoffeeScript: The beautiful way to write JavaScript - amix.dk
I have coded a lot of years in JavaScript and I have produced a lot of JavaScript code. Yet even with all my experience I still struggle to make JavaScript beautiful. In this post I'll explore why writing beautiful JavaScript is hard and how to improve this with CoffeeScript - a minimalistic language that compiles to JavaScript. What is beautiful code? Given that beauty is subjective I want to sta
Demonstration of the effect on data safety when removing Ruby/Python GIL | Merbist
After my recent RubyConf talk and follow up post addressing the Ruby & Python’s Global Interpreter Lock (aka GVL/Global VM Lock). a lot of people asked me to explain what I meant by “data safetyâ€. While my point isn’t to defend one approach or the other, I spent a lot of time explaining why C Ruby and C Python use a GIL and where it matters and where it matters less. As a reminder and as mentioned
How to Add CSS Customization to a WordPress Widget | Merbist
Merbist.com is a web that contains a collection of tutorials for making simple applications, android development, and programming languages. Most sidebar widgets on WordPress usually have the same style according to the theme. It’s okay if all the widgets that appear have the same priority or level of importance.
