sycobuny / profile.rb

Created February 3, 2014 21:17

Checking whether Class.new makes permanent refs (with cribbing from https://gist.github.com/rjackson/5071864 h/t @nevern02)

	def m(m)
	puts m
	puts " Currently at: #{`ps -o rss= -p #$$`.to_i / 1024} MB"
	puts " #{GC.stat.inspect}"
	end

	m 'Started';

	10_000_000.times { Class.new }
	m 'Made 10,000,000 (unstored) objects'

sycobuny / my_app.rb

Last active August 29, 2015 13:55

Just a simple file to build standard routes for a set of objects that will all behave in a similar way

	class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
	RestfulObjects = [
	SampleObject
	]

	require 'restful_sinatra.rb'
	end

sycobuny / latest-ruby.zsh

Created January 28, 2014 15:09

Get the latest ruby version installed via RVM

RUBY_VER=$(rvm list strings | cut -d\- -f2 | sort -rn | head -n1) echo "ruby-$RUBY_VER-p$((for v in $(rvm list strings | grep "ruby-$RUBY_VER" | cut -d\- -f3); do; echo ${v[2,${#v}]}; done) | sort -rn | head -n1)"

sycobuny / error_dump.php

Created January 17, 2014 16:28

Dump PHP variables into the error log instead of the page when debugging

	<?php

	/**
	* Dump a variable to error_log instead of the main page
	*
	* To do debugging, it's often preferable to stick output into the
	* error log rather than the main page, in case you might forget to remove
	* a statement (it does happen) - but you can't do `var_dump()` or
	* `print_r()` to output, or at least you couldn't before. This will get
	* the output of those functions and send them to error_log(), reformatted

sycobuny / .gitconfig

Last active December 30, 2015 21:09

Do annotated tags automatically based on branches, for doing a rolling upgrade from puppet 2.x to puppet 3.x.

	[alias]
	root = rev-parse --show-toplevel
	current-branch = rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
	ls-untracked = ls-files -o --exclude-standard
	release = !"$(git root)/.git/local-commands/release.pl"

sycobuny / newenv_problem.tex

Last active December 25, 2015 05:59

Trying to figure out how to apply a nesting of \newenvironment in a manner reminiscent of OO inheritance (at least, that's the way it stacks in my brain)

	\newenvironment{someSection}{%
	% some \newcommands go here
	\header{Some Section}%
	\addvspace{\vpad}%
	\begin{adjustwidth}{\extraMargin}{\extraMargin}%
	}{%
	\end{adjustwidth}%
	\addvspace{\vpad}%
	}

sycobuny / vim-question.md

tl;dr: How do you insert line breaks at the beginning and end of a visual block in vim?

Since I've just started using snipMate, I was playing around and used table to get a pre-built table. Pretty nicely, it dropped a whole lot of text in place for me:

<table border="0">
    <tr><th>Header</th></tr>
    <tr><th>Data</th></tr>
</table>

But, bypassing the fact that I don't like this default table setup (it uses for the same data cell, for some reason, and does *not* use or ``, which may be uncommon but I tend to use them), we'll skip to another problem that presented itself.

sycobuny / sanitize.php

Created September 13, 2013 17:12

A quick hack to make it easier to sanitize outputs en masse before displaying them to the user.

	<?php

	function sanitize_for_html(&$entity, $flags = ENT_QUOTES) {
	if (is_array($entity)) {
	$iterator = $entity;
	}
	elseif (is_object($entity)) {
	$iterator = get_object_vars($entity);
	}
	else {

sycobuny / split.vim

Last active December 22, 2015 09:18

My really cheap-n-easy way to setup my editing environment for multi-part multi-section pieces

	:e parts/harp_3/left/01_credits.ly
	:vert sp parts/harp_2/left/01_credits.ly
	:vert sp parts/harp_1/left/01_credits.ly

sycobuny / clearabledatepicker.js

Created August 22, 2013 16:24

Trying to get a jQuery-UI datepicker with a "clear" button on it is surprisingly difficult.

	$(function() {
	var datePickerCloseEventBound = false, currentDateInput
	enableClearDatePickerButton = function(dateInput) {
	currentDateInput = dateInput

	if (datePickerCloseEventBound) return;

	// sadly. the .ui-datepicker-close button doesn't exist yet :(
	$('.ui-datepicker-close').click(function() {
	$(currentDateInput).val('')
