# This code is meant to demonstrate the difficulty of actually applying .gitignore semantics manually.  It supports a key subset of .gitignore
# behaviors, including:
# * Anchored and unanchored patterns/globs.
# * Un-ignoring of patterns/globs, with the same quirky semantics as git.
# * Escaping a leading hash in a pattern.
# * User-wide exclusion list.
# * Top-of-repo .gitignore.

OS X Screencast to animated GIF

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

Aatch

extern mod extra;

use extra::json::*;

/*
 * This function manages to do absolutely no copying, which is pretty cool.
 *
 * "What are all those `'r`s?" you ask. Well, they're liftime parameters. They
 * indicate how long something lasts (before it's freed). They can't change how
 * long something lives for, they only allow you to tell the compiler stuff it

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.
