The Hunt for the right HTTP library

Use case: Travis CLI. One command invokes one or more sequential HTTP requests.

Note that startup time and the first request are very significant for a command line tool like this.

Clone the repo if you want to follow along.

Note: numbers might be due to how libraries are used (via faraday)

Wasims (@WasimZahid) #lamkarri

Jeg skal nå dele verdens enkleste måte å lage en nydelig pakistansk lammegryte på, helt fra scratch.

1. Ha 1kg lammekjøtt i biter (gjerne rett fra fryseren) i en middels stor gryte.

2. Skjær en løk, litt fersk ingefær og hvitløk i fine biter.

# If you're having cert issues on ruby 2.0.0-p0, the issue is most likely that ruby can't
# find the required intermediate certificates. If you built it via rbenv/ruby-build, then
# the certs are already on your system, just not where ruby expects them to be.

# When ruby-build installs openssl, it installs the CA certs here:
~/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p0/openssl/ssl/cacert.pem

# Ruby is expecting them here:
$(ruby -ropenssl -e 'puts OpenSSL::X509::DEFAULT_CERT_FILE')
# Which for me, is this path:

alloy

# Do *not* load any libs here that are *not* part of Ruby’s standard-lib. Ever.

Proposal for a date system overhaul

The Problem

FullCalendar was initially designed without much notion of timezones. By default, it ignores timezone offsets in the dates it receives.

The original assumption was that if you received a date from Brussels, say "2013-09-01T12:00:00+02:00", which is noon, it would display as noon in every timezone.

However, FullCalendar shoehorns this value into a local date. With the same example, if you were in San Francisco, it internally stores the date as "2013-09-01T12:00:00-08:00". This is bad for two reasons:
