a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Setup new Mac with OSX Lion from scratch

Install Command Line Tools for Xcode

Command Line Tools are required for Homebrew. Previously it was suggested to download Xcode 4, but since the new version doesn't ship the proper gcc compiler for rvm, the command line tools are a better option and then using homebrew to get the gcc compiler. If preferred, install Xcode 4, although this setup doesn't follow that set of instructions.

iTerm2

Really the nicest choice for a terminal on OSX right now, especially with Lion style full screen support.

The new Secure Password Hashing API in PHP 5.5

The [RFC for a new simple to use password hashing API][rfc] has just been accepted for PHP 5.5. As the RFC itself is rather technical and most of the sample codes are something you should not use, I want to give a very quick overview of the new API:

Why do we need a new API?

Everybody knows that you should be hashing their passwords using bcrypt, but still a surprising number of developers uses insecure md5 or sha1 hashes (just look at the recent password leaks). One of the reasons for this is that the crypt() API is ridiculously hard to use and very prone to programming mistakes.

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:
