How to download streaming video

Streaming just means a download that they don't want you to keep. But Chrome's developer tools make it easy to access what's really going on under the hood.

Open Developer Tools

From the page where you want to download some things, go into your chrome menu to open the developer tools. You can either:

1.  (On a mac): Command-option-J
2. (On a PC): Control-alt-J

Requirements

USB Overdrive
A non-Apple keyboard with media keys (or keys you want to make "media" keys). For reference, I'm using a Microsoft Sidewinder X4

Set Up

Plug in your keyboard and install USB Overdrive.
Open USB Overdrive. Click into the Settings tab.
Click the dropdown and select "Any Keyboard, Any Application"

Dear Rubyists,

I just lost a contract because of my code in a Rails project.

The specific code in question is related to a "posting a comment" feature. Here are the details:

In this project, "posting a comment" does not simply entail inserting a row into the database. It involves a procedure to yes, insert a row, but also detect its language, check for spam, send emails, and "share" it to Twitter and Facebook. I believe this algorithm should be encapsulated. I do not believe it belongs in a controller or a model. I do not believe Active Record callbacks should be used.

The "senior developer", whom is the stake holder's right hand man, said this:

	class FacebookCommentNotifer
	def initialize(comment)
	@comment = comment
	end

	def save
	@comment.save && post_to_wall
	end

	private

	class MyResource
	include HTTParty
	debug_output $stdout # <= will spit out all request details to the console

	#...
	end

	module AuthHelper
	def http_login
	user = 'username'
	pw = 'password'
	request.env['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'] = ActionController::HttpAuthentication::Basic.encode_credentials(user,pw)
	end
	end

	module AuthRequestHelper
	#

	@status_change_pending = ko.observable(false)

	@paid = ko.computed({
	owner: @
	read: () =>
	@status() == 'paid'
	write: (value) =>
	oldVal = @status() # keep track to handle failure
	newVal = if value == true then 'paid' else 'to_be_paid'
	@status(newVal)

	user1:
	email: [email protected]
	encrypted_password: <%= User.new.send(:password_digest, "user123") %>
	confirmed_at: <%= Time.now %>
