Problem: When linking to the raw version of a gist, the link changes with each revision.

Solution:

To return the first file from a gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/

Example: https://gist.github.com/atenni/5604522/raw/
Works even when you change the filename.

To get a file from multi–file gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/[file_name]

5 entertaining things you can find with the GitHub Search API

Let's have some command-line fun with curl, [jq][1], and the [new GitHub Search API][2].

Today we're looking for:

The hottest repositories created in the last week.
The oldest user accounts with zero followers. (So sad.)
Issue trends by language.
Clojure projects defying convention.

Web fonts are pretty much all the rage. Using a CDN for font libraries, like TypeKit or Google Fonts, will be a great solution for many projects. For others, this is not an option. Especially when you are creating a custom icon library for your project.

Rails and the asset pipeline are great tools, but Rails has yet to get caught up in the custom web font craze.

As with all things Rails, there is more then one way to skin this cat. There is the recommended way, and then there are the other ways.

The recommended way

Here I will show how to update your Rails project so that you can use the asset pipeline appropriately and resource your files using the common Rails convention.

	# autoload concerns
	module YourApp
	class Application < Rails::Application
	config.autoload_paths += %W(
	#{config.root}/app/controllers/concerns
	#{config.root}/app/models/concerns
	)
	end
	end

	<!DOCTYPE html>
	<meta charset="utf-8">
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="toggle.css">

	margin: 50px;
	font-size: 300px;
	font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';
	font-weight: 100;
	color: #555;

	h = {
	'a' => :a_value,
	'b' => nil,
	'c' => false
	}

	h.fetch('a', :default_value) #=> :a_value
	h.fetch('b', :default_value) #=> nil
	h.fetch('c', :default_value) #=> false
	h.fetch('d', :default_value) #=> :default_value

	var $touchArea = $('#touchArea'),
	touchStarted = false, // detect if a touch event is sarted
	currX = 0,
	currY = 0,
	cachedX = 0,
	cachedY = 0;

	//setting the events listeners
	$touchArea.on('touchstart mousedown',function (e){
	e.preventDefault();

	First we define a couple of helper functions that
	will be useful in splitting the list in half:

	> fsthalf :: [a] -> [a]
	> fsthalf xs = take (length xs `div` 2) xs


	# 1) Create your private key (any password will do, we remove it below)

	$ cd ~/.ssh
	$ openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.orig.key 2048


	# 2) Remove the password

	$ openssl rsa -in server.orig.key -out server.key
