Why "require 'rubygems'" In Your Library/App/Tests Is Wrong
In response to all the responses to:
http://twitter.com/rtomayko/status/1155906157
You should never do this in a source file included with your library,
app, or tests:
require 'rubygems'
The system I use to manage my $LOAD_PATH is not your library/app/tests

Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.

./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...

Setup Monitoring for a rake ts:dd job (Thinking Sphinx Delayed Delta)
The purpose of all this is to see if sphinx, thinking sphinx and thinking sphinx delayed delta are all working properly.
I created a test controller on a separate monit subdomain that simply generates and posts a test value and then uses curl to retrieve it. If the two values match, then sphinx is working properly with delayed delta.
This example assumes a Linux installation.
The file 'delayed_delta.sh' spawns the `rake ts:dd` process in the background, saving its PID to tmp/pids in your Rails project. You can start and stop it by running '/etc/init.d/delayed_delta.sh start' and '/etc/init.d/delayed_delta.sh stop'. You will use these in your monitoring to, see the monitrc snippet.
In a crontab, every X seconds or minutes, run 'ar_sphinx_mon.sh' to see if records are properly being inserted and indexed. If they aren't, then kill all Thinking Sphinx processes and monit should restart them.

Enable key repeat in Apple Lion for Sublime Text in Vim mode
# Mac OS X Lion introduced a new, iOS-like context menu when you press and hold a key
# that enables you to choose a character from a menu of options. If you are on Lion
# try it by pressing and holding down 'e' in any app that uses the default NSTextField
# for input.
#
# It's a nice feature and continues the blending of Mac OS X and iOS features. However,
# it's a nightmare to deal with in Sublime Text if you're running Vintage (Vim) mode,
# as it means you cannot press and hold h/j/k/l to move through your file. You have
# to repeatedly press the keys to navigate.

tmux cheat sheet

(C-x means ctrl+x, M-x means alt+x)

Prefix key

The default prefix is C-b. If you (or your muscle memory) prefer C-a, you need to add this to ~/.tmux.conf:

remap prefix to Control + a
