I just had to set up Jenkins to use GitHub. My notes (to myself, mostly):
For setting up Jenkins to build GitHub projects. This assumes some ability to manage Jenkins, use the command line, set up a utility LDAP account, etc. Please share or improve this Gist as needed.
In the seemlingly endless search for the actual correct and easy way to deploy a Rails app, we have tried several ways. We tried out using Apache2 and running a cluster of Thin servers. With the built in threading of Puma we decided to use it with Nginx.
| # RSpec's subject method, both implicitly and explicitly set, is useful for | |
| # declaratively setting up the context of the object under test. If you provide a | |
| # class for your describe block, subject will implicitly be set to a new instance | |
| # of this class (with no arguments passed to the constructor). If you want | |
| # something more complex done, such as setting arguments, you can use the | |
| # explicit subject setter, which takes a block. | |
| describe Person do | |
| context "born 19 years ago" do | |
| subject { Person.new(:birthdate => 19.years.ago } | |
| it { should be_eligible_to_vote } |

There is a long standing issue in Ruby where the net/http library by default does not check the validity of an SSL certificate during a TLS handshake. Rather than deal with the underlying problem (a missing certificate authority, a self-signed certificate, etc.) one tends to see bad hacks everywhere. This can lead to problems down the road.
From what I can see the OpenSSL library that Rails Installer delivers has no certificate authorities defined. So, let's go fetch some from the curl website. And since this is for ruby, why don't we download and install the file with a ruby script?
This gist is a collection of my rough notes from Strange Loop 2012.

This variation of a simple bar chart adds sorting with staggered delay and translucency to improve readability during the transition. This technique is recommended by Heer & Robertson. Use the checkbox in the top right to turn sorting on or off.
