coreyward / baseline_tattler.js
Last active August 29, 2015 13:57
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'

coreyward / README
Created October 14, 2010 21:52
Ruby wrapper to `mysqldump`. Intended to make setting up automatic cronjob backups easier by avoiding bash scripting.
Usage:
ruby mysql_backup.rb db:name [user:your_username] \
[password:your_password] \
[host:your_hostname] \
[file:output_file.sql]
Feel free to use, improve, etc. I'm new to Ruby, so excuse anything that makes your palm slap your forehead. ;)

coreyward / Explicit Block vs Symbol#to_proc.rb
Created February 16, 2011 22:17
A quick benchmark to confirm/dispel performance concerns over using `.map(&:to_i)` instead of a literal block (`.map { |x| x.to_i }`).
require 'benchmark'
n = 100000
a = %w{ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 }
Benchmark.bmbm do |b|
b.report 'Explicit Block' do
n.times do
a.map { |x| x.to_i }
