Weighted, sorted scores for finovate grades (seen at http://bankinnovation.net/2012/09/finovate-fall-2012-demo-performance-scores-and-reviews/). MoneyDesktop just shy of top score! And yes, I work for MD (full disclosure).

localshred / pre-receive.rb

Created August 29, 2012 02:29

Reject commits if updating non-dev branch and the Gemfile was changed and contains a list of rejectable words (e.g. git, tag, branch, path, etc.)

	#!/usr/bin/env ruby

	BRANCHES = %w( qa stage stable)
	REJECT_OPTIONS = %w( git tag branch path )

	old_sha, new_sha, ref = STDIN.read.split(' ')
	exit 0 unless BRANCHES.include?(ref.split('/').last)

	diff = %x{ git diff-index --cached --name-only #{old_sha} 2> /dev/null }
	#puts diff.inspect

localshred / symbolized_hash_keys.rb

Created August 9, 2012 17:56

Symbolize keys doesn't do what I expected when to_sym equivalent keys exist.

	# Fascinating behavior of symbolize_keys usage. If you have two keys that
	# are `to_sym` equivalents, the non-symbol version is the winner,
	# regardless of the order in the hash.
	# For some reason I expected if a symbol key existed it would be
	# the winner.

	1.9.2p290 :002 > {"one" => 1, :one => 2}.symbolize_keys
	=> {:one=>1}
	1.9.2p290 :001 > {:one => 1, "one" => 2}.symbolize_keys
	=> {:one=>2}

localshred / bdays.rb

Created May 18, 2012 17:27

Birthdays date calculator to show num days alive, leap years lived through, average age of a group of people (e.g. your fam). I dunno, fun to write at least.

	require 'date'

	today = Date.today

	peeps = [
	[:bj, 1983, 1, 18],
	[:angelee, 1983, 12, 27],
	[:bella, 2004, 11, 17],
	[:anders, 2008, 6, 30],
	[:india, 2012, 2, 23]

localshred / 1.9.2_ex.irb

Created March 6, 2012 23:57

1.9.3 changes the behavior of "rescue else" in a method from previous ruby versions. A return in the method body will not trigger the else.

	hello

localshred / binary_search.rb

Created February 28, 2012 07:22

Land of Lisp binary search algorithm in ruby. This is in stark contrast to my verbose approach in the summer of 2011: http://rand9.com/blog/picking-the-right-number-as-quickly-as-possible/

	# set some vars
	@high = 100
	@low = 0

	# Simply calc the midpoint (no remainder)
	# of the high and low value (bit shift right)
	def ask
	(@high + @low) >> 1
	end

localshred / puts_watcher.rb

Created February 28, 2012 00:02

Have stdout/err output you just can't track down? Use this. It needs to be inserted in the earliest possible load path (like spec_helper or rails boot.rb)

	def STDOUT.puts *args
	super(*args)
	STDERR.puts(caller[0..5]) if args.any?{\|a\| a.to_s =~ /my semi-unique string/ }
	end

localshred / git_helper_functions.sh

Created February 16, 2012 21:02

git helpers for mainline branch synchronization and checking

	# Synchronize all mainline branches (master, qa, stage, stable)
	function reposync() {
	git fetch
	git checkout master
	git rebase origin/master
	git checkout qa
	git rebase origin/qa
	git checkout stage
	git rebase origin/stage
	git checkout stable
