Keep your current source file open in Xcode after a run completes (a.k.a don't die in main.m)
#! /bin/sh
# On alternate invocations, this script
# saves the path of the source file currently open in Xcode
# and restores the file at that path in Xcode.
#
# By setting Xcode (in Behaviors) to run this script when "Run Starts"
# and when "Run Completes", you can prevent it from switching to main.m
# when a run finishes.

Synopsis

At the top of the file there should be a short introduction and/ or overview that explains what the project is. This description should match descriptions added for package managers (Gemspec, package.json, etc.)

Code Example

Show what the library does as concisely as possible, developers should be able to figure out how your project solves their problem by looking at the code example. Make sure the API you are showing off is obvious, and that your code is short and concise.

One-line Tree in Python

Using Python's built-in defaultdict we can easily define a tree data structure:

def tree(): return defaultdict(tree)

That's it!

Backbone for server rendered markup!
This Gist is for the case where your html is generated on the server side, but you still want to use Backbone to manage
the incremental user actions. The idea is to parse the already rendered DOM and create the model / collection on the
first time, hence we can still follow the Backbone pattern to update models and the bindings reflect view and update server etc.
Lets do step by step for the infamous TODO application:
Step 1) Add a function dom2coll() to the AppView that will parse the rendered DOM and convert to data.
dom2coll: function() {
// To update model/view from already rendered DOM from backend.

Life is purposeless. And it is beautiful that it is purposeless

It is very difficult, particularly for the Western mind, to understand that life is purposeless. And it is beautiful that it is purposeless. If it is purposeful then the whole thing becomes absurd – then who will decide the purpose? Then some God has to be conceived who decides the purpose, and then human beings become just puppets; then no freedom is possible. And if there is some purpose then life becomes businesslike, it cannot be ecstatic.

The West has been thinking in terms of purpose, but the East has been thinking in terms of purposelessness. The East says life is not a business, it is a play. And a play has no purpose really, it is nonpurposeful. Or you can say play is its own purpose, to play is enough. Life is not reaching towards some goal, life itself is the goal. It is not evolving towards some ultimate; this very moment, here and now, life is ultimate.

Life as it is, is accepted in the East. It is not moving towards some end, b
