I wanted to get an early bird reward for a Kickstarter project, and sometimes people abandon them to switch tiers or un-pledge, so I slapped some code together using Typhoeus, Nokogiri, and Twilio to retrieve the Kickstarter page, grab the relevant reward

Rather than using a Postgres string array and doing selection in Ruby, utilize ActiveRecord and SQL to only retrieve the relevant data in the first place. Feedback on https://github.com/ros3bud/Meet2Talk/tree/54f02428ada5e913c03b2b58160a19ea6fd7e7f8.

Quick and dirty way to find DOM elements that are breaking your vertical baseline grid.
$('div,p,section,header,footer,ul,ol,li').each(function(){
var h, el, baseline;
el = $(this);
height = el.outerHeight();
baseline = 13;
if (Math.round(height) % baseline > 0) {
el.addClass('boink');
console.log( height, this );

Non-blocking iFrame loads, because Vimeo embeds are slow to load, and iFrames block onLoad firing (and thus negatively impact pageload measurements).
# Non-Blocking iFrames
$ ->
$('iframe[data-src]').each ->
this.setAttribute 'src', this.getAttribute 'data-src'

Copy-pasteable Rails initializer that will handle date to string conversion and parsing (with output as MM/DD/YYYY by default)

parsed = Chronic.parse(value)&.to_date if value.is_a?(String)
