How to use rails load paths, app, and lib directories.

NOTE: This post now lives (and kept up to date) on my blog: http://hakunin.com/rails3-load-paths

JavaScript call() vs apply() vs bind() vs $.proxy()
var fn = function(arg1, arg2) {
var str = '<p>aap ' + this.noot + ' ' + arg1 + ' ' + arg2 + '</p>';
document.body.innerHTML += str;
};
var context = {
'noot': 'noot'
};
var args = ['mies', 'wim'];
// Calls a function with a given 'this' value and arguments provided individually.

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

How to permalink to a gist's raw file

Problem: When linking to the raw version of a gist, the link changes with each revision.

Solution:

To return the first file from a gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/

To get a file from multi–file gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/[file_name]
