elastic-enterprise-search

This gem is the official Elastic Enterprise Search client and it's currently out as a beta release. Enterprise Search is an Elastic solution for search in the enterprise. It's powered by the Elastic Stack and Elasticsearch, so you get all the great things you already know in one package for your team. It's the umbrella solution which contains Workplace Search, App Search and Site Search. The client focuses on App Search and Workplace Search.

What is Elastic Workplace Search?

Workplace Search is a unified search solution for teams. One of the interesting things about Workplace Search to me is at previous jobs I wished I had a product like this. We had different documents and manuals on so many different services: wikis, Jira, email, Dropbox, Basecamp. Whenever you needed to find a specific document you had to find out where to look for it, and then search. Workplace gives you a single search experien

TLDR

Public Domain is not a license and isn't legally accepted in some countries. So if you want to give stuff for free, it's better to just license it under MIT or BSD.

Public Domain Software

The term “public domain” refers to creative materials that are not protected by intellectual property laws such as copyright, trademark, or patent laws. The public owns these works, not an individual author or artist. Anyone can use a public domain work without obtaining permission, but no one can ever own it. - Stanford University definition

Using minitest to regression-test your Jekyll static site

I recently had to upgrade my blog, which involved changes such as:

• Replacing a sitemap plugin
• Upgrading from jekyll 2.5.3 to 3.8.4
• Upgrading from jekyll-assets 0.7.8 to 3.0.11
• (etc)

The upgrading process was not trivial, and some parts (e.g. RSS, sitemap, or twitter cards tags) are not immediately visible, so I decided to add unit tests on the generated content.
