# Description: Simple demo to showcase Redis PubSub with EventMachine
#
# Update 7 Oct 2010:
# - This example does *not* appear to work with Chrome >=6.0. Apparently,
# the WebSocket protocol implementation in the cramp gem does not work
# well with Chrome's (newer) WebSocket implementation.
#
# Requirements:
# - rubygems: eventmachine, thin, cramp, sinatra, yajl-ruby

Prefix key

The default prefix is C-b. If you (or your muscle memory) prefer C-a, you need to add this to ~/.tmux.conf:

remap prefix to Control + a

YOLO practices #RubyOnRails
# Do not refactor, it is a bad practice. YOLO
# Not understanding why or how something works is always good. YOLO
# Do not ever test your code yourself, just ask. YOLO
# No one is going to read your code, at any point don't comment. YOLO
# Why do it the easy way when you can reinvent the wheel? Future-proofing is for pussies. YOLO

Fast and flexible unit tests with live Postgres databases and fixtures

(This gist is pretty old; I've written up my current approach to the Pyramid integration on this blog post, but that blog post doesn't go into the transactional management, so you may still find this useful.)

Fast and flexible unit tests with live Postgres databases and fixtures

I've created a Pyramid scaffold which integrates Alembic, a migration tool, with the standard SQLAlchemy scaffold. (It also configures the Mako template system, because I prefer Mako.)

I am also using PostgreSQL for my database. PostgreSQL supports nested transactions. This means I can setup the tables at the beginning of the test session, then start a transaction before each test happens and roll it back after the test; in turn, this means my tests operate in the same environment I expect to use in production, but they are also fast.

I based my approach on [sontek's blog post](http://sontek.net/blog/

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
