Ruby: Different ways to define methods in

The Ruby Object Model

One of the central aspects of  the Ruby programming language is the Ruby object model, as per which everything (but for constructs such as methods, and keywords) in Ruby -- ​​classes, instances, lambdas, procs, strings, numbers, decimals, hashmaps -- is an object. This renders a kind of uniformity to Ruby that few other languages offer.

At the very same time, the object model can also become confusing. In particular, the following two questions can sometimes become difficult to answer, but being able to readily answer which can set you apart as a Ruby programmer.

1. What is self in a given context?
2. If I define a method here, where will it go? That is, which object is it going to be defined on?

JQ to filter JSON by value

Syntax: cat <filename> | jq -c '.[] | select( .<key> | contains("<value>"))'

Example: To get json record having _id equal 611

cat my.json | jq -c '.[] | select( ._id | contains(611))'

Remember: if JSON value has no double quotes (eg. for numeric) to do not supply in filter i.e. in contains(611)

Common Options

-#, --progress-bar Make curl display a simple progress bar instead of the more informational standard meter.

-b, --cookie <name=data> Supply cookie with request. If no =, then specifies the cookie file to use (see -c).

-c, --cookie-jar <file name> File to save response cookies to.

# The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit.
# If the tag points to the commit, then only the tag is shown.
# Otherwise, it suffixes the tag name with the number of additional commits on top of the tagged object 
# and the abbreviated object name of the most recent commit.
git describe

# With --abbrev set to 0, the command can be used to find the closest tagname without any suffix:
git describe --abbrev=0

WebSockets - An Introduction

WebSockets is a modern HTML5 standard which makes communication between client and server a lot more simpler than ever. We are all familiar with the technology of sockets. Sockets have been fundamental to network communication for a long time but usually the communication over the browser has been restricted. The general restrictions

• The server used to have a permanent listener while the client (aka browser) was not designated any fixed listener for a more long term connection. Hence, every communication was restricted to the client demanding and the server responding.
• This meant that unless the client requested for a particular resource, the server was unable to push such a resource to the client.
• This was detrimental since the client is then forced to check with the server at regular intervals. This meant a lot of libraries focused on optimizing asynchronous calls and identifying the response of asynchronous calls. Notably t
