Search Git commit history for a string and see the diffs

Searching Git commit history

This should be one of the core features of Git, but for some reason it's impossible to figure out how to search for a string in your commit history and see the diffs that that string is in. Here's the best I've come up with:

To find which commits and which files a string was added or removed in:

git log -S'search string' --oneline --name-status

To see the diff of that

Dynamically update attribute of a Chef resource during converge phase (Node variable assignment in Compile vs Converge)
# In Chef, when a resource is defined all its variables are evaluated during
# compile time and the execution of the resource takes place in converge phase.
# So if the value of a particular attribute is changed in converge
# (and not in compile) the resource will be executed with the old value.
# Example problem:
# Let's consider this situation where there are two steps involved in a recipe
# Step 1 is a Ruby block that changes a node attribute. Rubyblocks get executed
# in converge phase
# Step 2 is a Chef resource that makes use of the node attribute that was

You're Missing the Point of Promises

This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
 // the rest of your code goes here.
