Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Jim Weirich on the differences between procs and lambdas in Ruby

Jim Weirich:

This is how I explain it… Ruby has Procs and Lambdas. Procs are created with Proc.new { }, lambdas are created with lambda {} and ->() {}.

In Ruby 1.8, proc {} creates lambda, and Ruby 1.9 it creates procs (don't ask).

Lambdas use method semantics when handling parameters, procs use assignment semantics when handling parameters.

This means lambdas, like methods, will raise an ArgumentError when called with fewer arguments than they were defined with. Procs will simply assign nil to variables for arguments that were not passed in.

"What You Need To Know About Your Next Domain Name"

I highly respect what Fred has done, and continues to do, to help entrepreneurs and for that I'd like to "give back" myself... and I'm posting anonymously as I have nothing to gain in anyway by sharing this information...

I'm a serial Internet entrepreneur since 1990 (pre-Web). I've been involved in hundreds of projects online (have built more than one Top 500 web site) and I've been a very active and successful domain name 'trader' along the way.

I've personally owned over 50,000 domains on and off during the past 15+ years. I've been involved in some million$+ deals, and have owned some domains that you know of (but I won't name). I've also been involved in 1,000s of smaller deals. So this is a topic I know very well.
