Backstory: I decided to crowdsource static site generator recommendations, so the following are actual real world suggested-to-me results. I then took those and sorted them by language/server and, just for a decent relative metric, their Github Watcher count. If you want a heap of other projects (including other languages like Haskell and Python) Nanoc has the mother of all site generator lists. If you recommend another one, by all means add a comment.

For a tmux status line as seen in the example image for the wemux project:

The session on the left in the example screen shot uses a patched font from the vim-powerline project. Inconsolata-dz, you beautiful creature.

To duplicate the left status line add the following lines to your ~/tmux.conf

set -g status-left-length 32
set -g status-right-length 150

Dear Rubyists,

I just lost a contract because of my code in a Rails project.

The specific code in question is related to a "posting a comment" feature. Here are the details:

In this project, "posting a comment" does not simply entail inserting a row into the database. It involves a procedure to yes, insert a row, but also detect its language, check for spam, send emails, and "share" it to Twitter and Facebook. I believe this algorithm should be encapsulated. I do not believe it belongs in a controller or a model. I do not believe Active Record callbacks should be used.

The "senior developer", whom is the stake holder's right hand man, said this:

NOTE: THIS PATCH DOES NOT APPLY. Falcon's performance patches have not been updated for p362. See the comments for a fork that uses the Rails Express patch set instead.

ruby-1.9.3-p362 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p362 with various performance improvements and a backported COW-friendly GC, all courtesy of funny-falcon.

New ES6 Constructor Semantics and Usage Examples

Manual super: Alternative Design where subclass constructors do not automatically call superclass constructors

This Gist presents a new design of class-based object construction in ES6 that does not require use of the two-phase @@create protocol.

One of the characteristics of this proposal is that subclass constructors must explicitly super invoke their superclass's constructor if they wish to use the base class' object allocation and initialization logic.

An alternative version of this design automatically invokes the base constructor in most situations.
