a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

$        = jQuery
TIMEOUT  = 20000
lastTime = (new Date()).getTime()

setInterval ->
  currentTime = (new Date()).getTime()

  # If timeout was paused (ignoring small
  # variations) then trigger the 'wake' event
  if currentTime > (lastTime + TIMEOUT + 2000)

There are many (old) clients available:

• https://github.com/tpitale/legato (active, supports API v3)
• https://github.com/activenetwork/gattica
• https://github.com/vigetlabs/garb

The Google Analytics API is at v3 (at time of writing).

This example uses Google's Ruby API client to access Analytics. Use https://github.com/google/google-api-ruby-client (Google supported).

Make /robots.txt aware of the Rails environment

You probably don't want Google crawling your development staging app. Here's how to fix that.

$ mv public/robots.txt config/robots.production.txt
$ cp config/robots.production.txt config/robots.development.txt

Now edit config/routes.rb to add a route for /robots.txt, and add the controller code.

/* Extend the Underscore object with the following methods */

// Rate limit ensures a function is never called more than every [rate]ms
// Unlike underscore's _.throttle function, function calls are queued so that
//   requests are never lost and simply deferred until some other time
//
// Parameters
// * func - function to rate limit
// * rate - minimum time to wait between function calls
// * async - if async is true, we won't wait (rate) for the function to complete before queueing the next request

// Example:

JavaScript.load("/javascripts/something.js");


// With callback (that’s the good thing):

JavaScript.load("http://www.someawesomedomain.com/api.js", function() {
  API.use(); // or whatever api.js provides ...
});
