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.

##Objective

Add RESS for conditional content based on screen size. Accomplished by creating a JavaScript cookie

##Problem

When a cookie is set via JavaScript, Laravel's Cookie can't read the cookie. It doesn't work because there is no httpOnly option in Laravel. Symfony cookie does have httpOnly option but it defaults to TRUE. httpOnly has to be set to FALSE in order to access cookies from the browser. See issues:

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written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.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.

	<?php
	// I have Groups. A group can have many discussions. A single discussion can have many posts.
	// models/Group.php
	public function delete()
	{
	// Check for discussions belonging to the group first
	if ($this->discussions) {
	foreach ($this->discussions as $discussion) {
	$discussion->delete();
	}

	server {
	index index.php;
	set $basepath "/var/www";

	set $domain $host;

	# check one name domain for simple application
	if ($domain ~ "^(.[^.]*)\.dev$") {
	set $domain $1;
	set $rootpath "${domain}";

	// Remove classes that have given prefix
	// Example:
	// You have an element with classes "apple juiceSmall juiceBig banana"
	// You run:
	// $elem.removeClassPrefix('juice');
	// The resulting classes are "apple banana"

	// NOTE: discussion of implementation techniques for this, including why simple RegExp with word boundaries isn't correct:

	# Was asked how I keep my zshrc config sync'd between my computers with Dropbox

	# Add a new directory in your Dropbox (or use an existing one)
	mkdir -p ~/Dropbox/ohmyzsh

	# move existing file to Dropbox
	mv ~/.zshrc ~/Dropbox/ohmyzsh/zshrc

	# symlink file back to your local directory
	ln -s ~/Dropbox/ohmyzsh/zshrc ~/.zshrc
