#Techniques for Anti-Aliasing @font-face on Windows

It all started with an email from a client: Do these fonts look funky to you? The title is prickly.

The font in question was Port Lligat Sans from Google Web Fonts.

The "prickly" is aliasing caused by lack of hinting

# RSpec matcher for alias_method.

# Usage:

#     describe User do
#       it { should alias_from(:username).to(:email) }
#     end


RSpec::Matchers.define :alias_from do |alias_method|

    // The clean task ensures all files are removed from the dist/ directory so
    // that no files linger from previous builds.

# 1) Use VCR.use_cassette in your let block. This will use
# the cassette just for requests made by creating bar, not
# for anything else in your test.
let(:foo) { VCR.use_cassette("foo") { create(:bar) } }
it "uses foo" do
  foo
end

# 2) Wrap the it block that uses #foo in VCR.use_cassette.

# Sample output:
# 
# $ cat example.com.access.log | awk -F " " '{a[$1]++ } END { for (b in a) { print b, "\t", a[b] } }'
# 66.65.145.220 49

Ruby の HTTP クライアントライブラリ Faraday が便利そう

API ラッパの開発には [RestClient gem][rest_client_gem] だとか
OAuth の必要なものは [Net/HTTP][net_http] + [OAuth gem][oauth_gem] を使ってた

[Twitter gem][twitter_gem] や [Instagram gem][instagram_gem] など API ライブラリのソースを読んでみると
[Faraday gem][faraday_gem] というものがよく使われてた

git-flowの問題点 (Issues with git-flow)

私は人々にGitを教えるためにあちこちを飛び回っているが、最近のほぼすべてのクラスやワークショップでgit-flowについてどう思うかを尋ねられた。私はいつも、git-flowは素晴らしいと思うと答えている。何百万ものワークフローを持ったシステム（Git）を提供し、ドキュメントもあるし、よくテストされている。フレキシブルなワークフローは、実に容易なやり方で多くの開発者の役に立つ。標準的なものになりつつあり、開発者はプロジェクトや企業の間を移動しつつこの標準的なワークフローに馴染むことができる。
