Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Determine timezone from lat/long

Goal: To take this: https://graph.facebook.com/105464892820215 And derive this: America/Los Angeles From which we can then derive UTC-0800 or UTC-0700, as appropriate under the daylight madness scheme in effect on the date of interest.

It seems oddly hard to figure out what timezone a given point in space is located in. Looking around, there are only a few APIs which provide this information (http://www.earthtools.org/webservices.htm#timezone and http://www.worldweatheronline.com/time-zone-api.aspx), and only a few datasets which seem to contain it; most of them are in serious GIS formats, and expect you to query them in some manual fashion using a proprietary GIS tool.

I'm not really interested in that; I want a piece of code I can just ask "what timezone is this in" and get an answer, without installing some huge piece of software I don't have a license to or worrying about rate limits from somebody's API. So I'm going to take a shapefile I found here (http://efele.net/maps/tz/world/) and see if we can

How to recover a git branch you accidentally deleted

UPDATE: A better way! (August 2015)

As pointed out by @johntyree in the comments, using git reflog is easier and more reliable. Thanks for the suggestion!

 $ git reflog
1ed7510 HEAD@{1}: checkout: moving from develop to 1ed7510
3970d09 HEAD@{2}: checkout: moving from b-fix-build to develop
1ed7510 HEAD@{3}: commit: got everything working the way I want
70b3696 HEAD@{4}: commit: upgrade rails, do some refactoring
