Last active July 8, 2023 10:12
Very simple method to add custom poster frame to youtube video without using youtube API. This code is also valid in browsers not supporting window.postMessage (API uses postMessage). The trick is adding the iframe in a comment. Javascript reads comment contents and saves iframe definition to a var. When JQuery (for the sake of brevity, not real…

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:

OOCSS vs OOSass

OOCSS vs OOSass

note that this requires Sass 3.2 alpha or higher

OOCSS is awesome because it helps us organize our style sheets in clean and simple ways but it can be far too rigid for the new responsive web. How can we use preprocessors to preserve both flexibility and cleanliness of code? Can these objects be abstracted to our preprocessors?

Lets first take a look at three column widths in OOCSS to see how they compare.

A Capistrano Rails Guide

A Capistrano Rails Guide

why cap?

Capistrano automates pushing out a new version of your application to a deployment location.

I've been writing and deploying Rails apps for a while, but I avoided using Capistrano until recently. I've got a pretty simple one-host deployment, and even though everyone said Capistrano was great, every time I tried to get started I just got snowed under not being able to figure out exactly what I wanted to do, and figured I wasn't having that much trouble doing it "manually".
