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.

Sublime Text 2 Installation Guide: Ubuntu 13.04 and Elementary OS Luna

Open terminal

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sublime-text

2. Install Sublime Package Control

tl;dr

If you must nest functions in a way that requires access to multiple this', alias outer this to something meaningful - describe the value it's holding. Treat this as the invisible first argument.

In general though, avoiding the situation (nested functions and frivolous use of this) will frequently produce clearer results.

Naming `this` in nested functions

I was accidentally included in a discussion on how to best name this in nested functions in JavaScript. +1's were given to this suggestion of using _this.

Giving style advice on naming nested this without a meaningful context isn't too helpful in my opinion. Examples below have been altered to have at least some context, although a completely contrived and stupid one.

Backstory: I decided to crowdsource static site generator recommendations, so the following are actual real world suggested-to-me results. I then took those and sorted them by language/server and, just for a decent relative metric, their Github Watcher count. If you want a heap of other projects (including other languages like Haskell and Python) Nanoc has the mother of all site generator lists. If you recommend another one, by all means add a comment.

Octopress 2,696
Middleman 685
NestaCMS 664
Statis 509
Nanoc 355

Prereq:

apt-get install zsh
apt-get install git-core

Getting zsh to work in ubuntu is weird, since sh does not understand the source command. So, you do this to install zsh

wget https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh -O - | zsh

	module Sass::Script::Functions
	def random(max = Sass::Script::Number.new(100))
	Sass::Script::Number.new(rand(max.value), max.numerator_units, max.denominator_units)
	end
	end
