Generate a new Elixir project using mix and add cowboy and plug as dependencies in mix.exs:

  defp deps do
    [
      {:cowboy, "~> 1.0.0"},
      {:plug, "~> 0.8.1"}
    ]

A Guide to Rust Syntax

A very brief guide to Rust syntax. It assumes you are already familiar with programming concepts.

This was written in 2014. It is not a good reference for Rust today, though the content is still correct.

cheats.rs looks like a good alternative.

extern mod sync;

// str op trait
use std::str::StrSlice;
// for tcp listen
use std::io::{TcpListener, TcpStream};
use std::io::net::ip::SocketAddr;
// for trait
use std::io::{Listener, Writer, Acceptor, Buffer};
// for spawn

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.

OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

;; (require '[clojure.string :as str] '[clojure.java.shell :as shell] '[taoensso.timbre :as timbre])

(defn with-free-port!
  "Attempts to kill any current port-binding process, then repeatedly executes
  nullary `bind-port!-fn` (which must return logical true on successful
  binding). Returns the function's result when successful, else throws an
  exception. *nix only.

  This idea courtesy of Feng Shen, Ref. http://goo.gl/kEolu."

var msgs = cb().messages;
var lim = 200 /* max of 200 entries in the backlog */;
var arr = msgs.toArray().slice(0, msgs.size() - lim);

_.each(arr, function(m) {
  $('div[data-eid='+m.get('eid')+']').remove();
  msgs.remove(m);
})
