    Parallelize Your RSpec Suite

We all have multi-core machine these days, but most rspec suites still run in one sequential stream. Let's parallelize it!
The big hurdle here is managing multiple test databases. When multiple specs are running simultaneously, they each need to have exclusive access to the database, so that one spec's setup doesn't clobber the records of another spec's setup. We could create and manage multiple test database within our RDBMS. But I'd prefer something a little more ... ephemeral, that won't hang around after we're done, or require any manual management.
Enter SQLite's in-memory database, which is a full SQLite instance, created entirely within the invoking process's own memory footprint.

                SVG on Rails
              
          
    I wanted to use inline SVG in a rails app. Two steps were needed to enable this:


Set content type to application/xhtml+xml. I enabled this globally by adding this to application_controller.rb
 before_filter{ response.content_type = 'application/xhtml+xml' }


Indicate we're using XHTML in the <html> tag. I enabled this globally in application.html.erb:

    ##Setup Textmate for Rails Dev on OS X
This guide was written by Jon Kinney for the Green Bay Ruby User Group. Jon works at Intridea and they graciously sponsor the Green Bay RUG meetings.
These guides were also partially completed using time from Intridea's SparkTime initiative which aims to give employees "outside projects" to work on during their normal work week.
If you find any issues with these suggestions please let me know. I've amassed these tips/tricks over several years of full time Rails development using Textmate but just because it works on my system doesn't always mean it will be problem free universally. Thanks to all the blog authors whose articles helped me learn Textmate over the years but whose links/posts I've lost or forgotten over time. If you have a cool Textmate tip or trick please post it in the comments!

                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.

                Joel Spolsky on Equity for Startups
              
          
This is a post by Joel Spolsky. The original post is linked at the bottom.

This is such a common question here and elsewhere that I will attempt to write the world's most canonical answer to this question. Hopefully in the future when someone on answers.onstartups asks how to split up the ownership of their new company, you can simply point to this answer.
The most important principle: Fairness, and the perception of fairness, is much more valuable than owning a large stake. Almost everything that can go wrong in a startup will go wrong, and one of the biggest things that can go wrong is huge, angry, shouting matches between the founders as to who worked harder, who owns more, whose idea was it anyway, etc. That is why I would always rather split a new company 50-50 with a friend than insist on owning 60% because "it was my idea," or because "I was more experienced" or anything else. Why? Because if I split the company 60-40, the company is going to fail when we argue ourselves to death. And if you ju
