The 5-minute backpack demo

Here's what I carry in a Tom Bihn Synapse 19 bag when I travel for 1-to-n days. In general, I optimize for low-weight items, with a secondary focus on reducing maintenance. You can peruse a gallery of pictures, too.

You can have a little tech debt for a short time. After that the bumbailiff will be up your bum.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# The bumbailiff allows the team to take up a small amount of technical debt
# (TODOs in the code) for a limited period. After that period the script fails.

Watch Netflix as if you were in the US by proxying DNS through a DigitalOcean instance.

    • Who is going to use it?
    • How are they going to use it?

Clone into a new repo and quickly switch into it. Helps avoid a haphazard collection of unorganized github repos all over my home directory. Once it's cloned (or even if it errors), just hit Paste & it'll change into the directory of the repo.
#!/bin/sh -e
# A simple script to keep a tidy ~/code directory organized by owner & then repo
# When the script is done, just hit command-v to switch into the directory
# (Github and Mac only. Sorry, openness!)
#
# Usage:
# gloan <org>/<repo>
# Or:
# gloan <org> <repo>

When should you use DateTime and when should you use Time?

When should you use DateTime and when should you use Time?

It's a common misconception that [William Shakespeare][1] and [Miguel de Cervantes][2] died on the same day in history - so much so that UNESCO named April 23 as [World Book Day because of this fact][3]. However because England hadn't yet adopted [Gregorian Calendar Reform][4] (and wouldn't until [1752][5]) their deaths are actually 10 days apart. Since Ruby's Time class implements a [proleptic Gregorian calendar][6] and has no concept of calendar reform then there's no way to express this. This is where DateTime steps in:

>> shakespeare = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ENGLAND)
=> Tue, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000
>> cervantes = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ITALY)
=> Sat, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000
