D3 Drag Rectangle with drag handles

This is an example of the power of the D3 library and how you can use the drag behavior of D3 to control the position and shape of the SVG element.

How to write MiniTest::Spec expectations

I'm a fan of MiniTest::Spec. It strikes a nice balance between the simplicity of TestUnit and the readable syntax of RSpec. When I first switched from RSpec to MiniTest::Spec, one thing I was worried I would miss was the ability to add matchers. (A note in terminology: "matchers" in MiniTest::Spec refer to something completely different than "matchers" in RSpec. I won't get into it, but from now on, let's use the proper term: "expectations").

Understanding MiniTest::Expectations

Let's take a look in the code (I'm specifically referring to the gem, not the standard library that's built into Ruby 1.9):

# minitest/spec.rb

module MiniTest::Expectations

Using date ordinals in Rails through an I18n time format.
# This goes in config/locales/en.rb (*not* en.yml)
{
:en => {
:time => {
:formats => {
:full => lambda { |time, _| "%H:%M | %A, #{time.day.ordinalize} %B %Y" }
}
}
}
}

tmux-vim integration to transparently switch between tmux panes and vim split windows

I use tmux splits (panes). Inside one of these panes there's a Vim process, and it has its own splits (windows).

In Vim I have key bindings C-h/j/k/l set to switch windows in the given direction. (Vim default mappings for windows switching are the same, but prefixed with C-W.) I'd like to use the same keystrokes for switching tmux panes.

An extra goal that I've solved with a dirty hack is to toggle between last active panes with C-\.

Here's how it should work:

This is how we use Google Analytics with Turbolinks. I put this in a analytics.js.coffee file and require it after turbolinks. That's it. Works on browsers that support Turbolinks and those that don't. Also works with parts of your app that may not use Turbolinks. If you need to record pageviews manually for any reason, just call GoogleAnalytics…
class @GoogleAnalytics
@load: ->
# Google Analytics depends on a global _gaq array. window is the global scope.
window._gaq = []
window._gaq.push ["_setAccount", GoogleAnalytics.analyticsId()]
# Create a script element and insert it in the DOM
ga = document.createElement("script")
ga.type = "text/javascript"
#! /bin/bash
