Bundler is very cool. The only drawback is that for executable gems like cucumber you need to type in "bundle exec cucumber." So I added this alias to my /.bash login file:. Alias cuc='bundle exec cucumber -r features $1'. Raquo; Swift Repl In Lldb. Raquo; Prose Io. Raquo; How (Phone) times have changed. Keep in touch with family: spokt.com. Shot by dan photograpy.

Find large files on your linux server. If you want to know which directories are using up your disk space try this command:. Cd / $ du -s -m * 6 bin 5 sbin 1 srv 5 tmp 461 usr 3407 var. It will list the number of megabytes reside in each directory (including all sub-directories recursively). You can run the command from anywhere. Thanks to: howtogeek.com. Raquo; Swift Repl In Lldb.

IPhone HDR Photo Comparison. I upgraded my phone to iOS 4.1 yesterday excited to check out the HDR performance. Here are some terribly boring comparative shots. Move your mouse over to compare. There is more detail in both the shadows and the highlights. Above the text is sharper in the regular photo. Raquo; Swift Repl In Lldb. Raquo; Prose Io. Raquo; How (Phone) times have changed.

PGError Unable to connect on port 5432. I've been bit by this a few times recently and I think this time I understand it. To install postgresql and it usually just works. I think what has happened to me is sometimes when my machine is not gracefully shut down the .pid file doesn't get removed and keeps postgres from launching on its own. My .pid is located here: /usr/local/var/postgres/postmaster.pid. Just make sure postgres is not running, remove the file, and launch it again. Raquo; Swift Repl In Lldb.

http://danhixon.github.io/all/rails/2010/09/09/image-comparisons.html

I just created a silly jQuery plugin to compare two images for my HDR comparison post. All it does is toggle which image is visible in a container on mouseover/mouseout. It's not really the most useful behavior imagined - I guess I wrote it more of a showcase of how easy it is to author jQuery plugins. You can see a working demonstration here. To use it just put two images in a container and call compare() on the selector:. Document).ready(function(){ $('.compare').compare(); });. Here is the plugin code:.

Old Spice Success Explained. I, like everyone, love the new spicy Old Spice commercials and the old and new kinds of spice they commercialize into my life. What makes these short videos so delightful? To help explain the success of this successful phenomenal phenomenon I’ve helpfully created this helpful EXPLODED. Here is the breakdown:.

Pass variable from template to view. Maybe I'm missing a code smell but I needed to pass a variable from my template to my view. The template renders a very generic form and I wanted to add a field to it from my view. I wanted the code to look something like this:. Render :layout = '/layouts/confirm', :locals = { :entity = @voucher } do f % %= f.input :redeemed by, :label= Voucher Used By % % end %. I'm using formtastic and the f coming down the chute is meant to be the formtastic form builder object.

The iPhone Stand that You Already Have. I've admired many an iPhone stand. I've considered buying several but I knew I wouldn't want to carry them around with me. This morning I woke up and realized that I have a stand already. I almost always have it with me in fact you could say that I never leave home without it. You can just shove a credit card, gift card, blood donor card, etc. up into the bumper and it stands. Disclaimer: You need a bumper case. It's a little fragile. Raquo; Swift Repl In Lldb.
