Parallelize Your RSpec Suite

We all have multi-core machine these days, but most rspec suites still run in one sequential stream. Let's parallelize it!

The big hurdle here is managing multiple test databases. When multiple specs are running simultaneously, they each need to have exclusive access to the database, so that one spec's setup doesn't clobber the records of another spec's setup. We could create and manage multiple test database within our RDBMS. But I'd prefer something a little more ... ephemeral, that won't hang around after we're done, or require any manual management.

Enter SQLite's in-memory database, which is a full SQLite instance, created entirely within the invoking process's own memory footprint.

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite Setup

Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Custom recipe to get OS X 10.10 Yosemite running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. On average, I reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between distros.

This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.

You are encouraged to fork this and modify it to your heart's content to match your own needs.
