examples of syntax for RubyDo
# goal: pass code to a Ruby interpreter running in background as a daemon
greeting = "hello"
source = "Ruby"
# desired syntax, which is impossible because the Crystal parser & lexer cannot ignore everything between `ruby do` & `end`
ruby do |greeting, source|
# put Ruby code here as just part of a normal block:
puts "#{greeting} from #{source}!"

Visit another user's OS X account, but get a sane working environment, and set it back to whatever state they had it before when you're done.

# TODO: this script should

# * be a single script or app (`drop in` & `drop out`?)

Launch a one-off git server from any local repository.

I [tweeted this already][1] but I thought it could use some expansion:

Enable decentralized git workflow: git config alias.serve "daemon --verbose --export-all --base-path=.git --reuseaddr --strict-paths .git/"

Say you use a git workflow that involves working with a core "official" repository that you pull and push your changes from and into. I'm sure many companies do this, as do many users of git hosting services like Github.

Say that server, or Github, goes down for a bit.

How to fix beanstalkd 1.4.6 compile error (MacPorts)
Just a informational gist if you plan to install "beanstalkd" via MacPorts and get a compiler error:
:info:build net.c: In function 'make_server_socket':
:info:build net.c:35: warning: 'fd' may be used uninitialized in this function
:info:build make[1]: *** [net.o] Error 1
:info:build make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
This is a known issue within the "net.c" file. I've found a diff[1] for said file on the web and applied it locally which then allowed me to install the port without problems.
If your install fails like:
