For those folks not already hanging out in #documentcloud... here's the log of this afternoon's Ember/Backbone politics discussion.
12:21 PM <wycats> jashkenas: hey
12:21 PM <wycats> jashkenas: I'm sorry
12:21 PM <wycats> how would you like me to describe backbone?
12:21 PM <wycats> let's work this out for once and for all :)
12:21 PM <wycats> I'm definitely not intentionally saying incorrect things about backbone
12:22 PM • knowtheory gets out popcorn
12:24 PM <jashkenas> don't worry about it too much -- I'm just not terribly pleased with backbone being continued to be used as the strawman...
12:24 PM <wycats> jashkenas: I am worried about it a lot

A nice delete confirmation modal in Rails courtesy of Bootstrap

Here's what you get.

Some CoffeeScript (verbosely commented for clarity)

# Override Rails handling of confirmation

$.rails.allowAction = (element) ->
  # The message is something like "Are you sure?"
  message = element.data('confirm')
class ActionDispatch::Routing::Mapper
def draw(routes_name)
instance_eval(File.read(Rails.root.join("config/routes/#{routes_name}.rb")))
end
end
BCX::Application.routes.draw do
draw :api
draw :account
draw :session

Latency Numbers Every Programmer Should Know
Latency Comparison Numbers (~2012)
----------------------------------
L1 cache reference 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict 5 ns
L2 cache reference 7 ns 14x L1 cache
Mutex lock/unlock 25 ns
Main memory reference 100 ns 20x L2 cache, 200x L1 cache
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy 3,000 ns 3 us
Send 1K bytes over 1 Gbps network 10,000 ns 10 us
Read 4K randomly from SSD* 150,000 ns 150 us ~1GB/sec SSD

This Rack middleware for Rails3 lets you see a call-trace of the lines of ruby code in your application invoked during a single request. Only code within your app is considered (i.e. in the /app folder). This expands on my previous attempt (https://gist.github.com/3077744). Example of output in comments below.
require 'singleton'
# outputs a colored call-trace graph to the Rails logger of the lines of ruby code
# invoked during a single request.
#
# Example:
#
# 1) Make sure this file is loaded in an initializer
#
# 2) Add the following to your application.rb in Rails3:
