Reverse polymorphic associations in Rails

Polymorphic Associations reversed

It's pretty easy to do polymorphic associations in Rails: A Picture can belong to either a BlogPost or an Article. But what if you need the relationship the other way around? A Picture, a Text and a Video can belong to an Article, and that article can find all media by calling @article.media

This example shows how to create an ArticleElement join model that handles the polymorphic relationship. To add fields that are common to all polymorphic models, add fields to the join model.

Static Site Generators

Backstory: I decided to crowdsource static site generator recommendations, so the following are actual real world suggested-to-me results. I then took those and sorted them by language/server and, just for a decent relative metric, their Github Watcher count. If you want a heap of other projects (including other languages like Haskell and Python) Nanoc has the mother of all site generator lists. If you recommend another one, by all means add a comment.

Retrieve a 512 x 512px icon for an iOS app
#!/usr/bin/ruby
# encoding: utf-8
#
# Updated 2017-10-25:
# - Defaults to large size (512)
# - If ImageMagick is installed:
# - rounds the corners (copped from @bradjasper, https://github.com/bradjasper/Download-iTunes-Icon/blob/master/itunesicon.rb)
# - replace original with rounded version, converting to png if necessary
#
# Retrieve an iOS app icon at the highest available resolution

A Rubocop wrapper that checks only added/modified code
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# A sneaky wrapper around Rubocop that allows you to run it only against
# the recent changes, as opposed to the whole project. It lets you
# enforce the style guide for new/modified code only, as opposed to
# having to restyle everything or adding cops incrementally. It relies
# on git to figure out which files to check.
#
# Here are some options you can pass in addition to the ones in rubocop:
#
# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.
#
# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
# programs.
#
# Once you're done here, go to
# http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html
# to learn SOOOO much more.
