Disable auto start for Android File Transfer
  • Close Android File Transfer
  • Open Activity Monitor and kill “Android File Transfer Agent”
  • Go to where you installed “Android File Transfer.app” (I have it under /Applications)
  • Ctrl+click –> “Show package contents”
  • Go to Contents/Resources
  • Rename “Android File Transfer Agent” to e.g. “Android File Transfer Agent_DISABLED”
  • Then go to “/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Google/Android File Transfer” and again rename the Agent app.

Choosing a deployment tool - ansible vs puppet vs chef vs salt

Requirements

  • no upfront installation/agents on remote/slave machines - ssh should be enough
  • application components should use third-party software, e.g. HDFS, Spark's cluster, deployed separately
  • configuration templating
  • environment requires/asserts, i.e. we need a JVM in a given version before doing deployment
  • deployment process run from Jenkins

Solution

Fix setTimout, setInterval, and global ajax requests when using Turbolinks
# This library fixes common problems with turbolinks
# - Overwrite setTimeout and setInterval to intercept generated ID's
# - Keep track of Ajax requests
#
# When turbolinks' unload event is called, we:
# - Cancel all setTimeouts and setIntervals
# - Abort all still running Ajax requests

Speed up your Rails sqlite database for large dataset. This should be a Rails initializer, goes into config/initializers.
if ::ActiveRecord::Base.connection_config[:adapter] == 'sqlite3'
if c = ::ActiveRecord::Base.connection
# see http://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html for details
# Page size of the database. The page size must be a power of two between 512 and 65536 inclusive
c.execute 'PRAGMA main.page_size=4096;'
# Suggested maximum number of database disk pages that SQLite will hold in memory at once per open database file
c.execute 'PRAGMA main.cache_size=10000;'

Custom Web Fonts and the Rails Asset Pipeline

Web fonts are pretty much all the rage. Using a CDN for font libraries, like TypeKit or Google Fonts, will be a great solution for many projects. For others, this is not an option. Especially when you are creating a custom icon library for your project.

Rails and the asset pipeline are great tools, but Rails has yet to get caught up in the custom web font craze.

As with all things Rails, there is more then one way to skin this cat. There is the recommended way, and then there are the other ways.

The recommended way

Here I will show how to update your Rails project so that you can use the asset pipeline appropriately and resource your files using the common Rails convention.
