Setting up and installing rbenv, ruby-build, rubies, rbenv-gemset, and bundler

This guide enables you to install (ruby-build) and use (rbenv) multiple versions of ruby, isolate project gems (gemsets and/or bundler), and automatically use appropriate combinations of rubies and gems.

TL;DR Demo

Scrabble Cheater

  • I'd like you to help me cheat at Scrabble. I'd like you to write some code to give me all possible words that can be created given a set of tiles. The maximum number of tiles you can have in Scrabble is seven, so you'll need to find all of the words that can be made out of those tiles.

On most unix systems (including Mac OS X), you can find a word dictionary in "/usr/share/dict/words" - let's assume that all of these words (including "zymogenic"!) are up valid for scrabble. Feel free to use your own custom dictionary, but this will do for this purpose.

Here's sample code that reads in all of the words into an array, removes newlines, and downcases them.

words = File.readlines("/usr/share/dict/words").map(&:chomp).map(&:downcase)

Postgres Cheatsheet

This is a collection of the most common commands I run while administering Postgres databases. The variables shown between the open and closed tags, "<" and ">", should be replaced with a name you choose. Postgres has multiple shortcut functions, starting with a forward slash, "". Any SQL command that is not a shortcut, must end with a semicolon, ";". You can use the keyboard UP and DOWN keys to scroll the history of previous commands you've run.

Signing your Git Commits on MacOS

Methods of Signing Git Commits on MacOS

Last updated March 13, 2024

This Gist explains how to sign commits using gpg in a step-by-step fashion. Previously, krypt.co was heavily mentioned, but I've only recently learned they were acquired by Akamai and no longer update their previous free products. Those mentions have been removed.

Additionally, 1Password now supports signing Git commits with SSH keys and makes it pretty easy-plus you can easily configure Git Tower to use it for both signing and ssh.

For using a GUI-based GIT tool such as Tower or Github Desktop, follow the steps here for signing your commits with GPG.
