  # find_insert_index -> returns the index that the value should be inserted into

  # Arguments
  #  val     ->  any sort of value that supports comparison or...
  #  &block  ->  If you want to compare a specific field on your object you could:
  #                {|x,y| x.FIELD <=> y.FIELD }
  #              or you could sort reverse:
  #                {|x,y| y <=> x} NOTE: your review must be sorted desc. for this to work.

Getting Glyphicons from Bootstrap 3.0 in Rails: the easy way

What

Bootstrap 3.0 gives you access to the awesome icon set icon set by these dudes but it's not obvious for a Rails newbie like myself to get it all working together nicely

It's a collection of CSS styles and Javascript add-ons that stop your site from looking like a shitty craigslist rip off from 1996. Seriously, who wants that?
