Archive.org Scanned Book Downloader Bookmarklet

A simple "1-click" javascript approach to downloading a scanned book from archive.org to read at your leisure on the device of your choosing w/out having to manually screenshot every pages of the book by hand. In short it's a glorified "Save Image As..." approach but consolidated down to "1 click". BTW there may be a much better option than this out there - I just built this as an autistic project to see if it would work.

Obligatory Legal/Disclaimer:

By using this script you agree to delete all book files/images after your 1 hour or 14 days is up! I don't support using this script for any other use cases. After all, none of us have ever kept a library book past it's return date, right?

libdispatch efficiency tips

The libdispatch is one of the most misused API due to the way it was presented to us when it was introduced and for many years after that, and due to the confusing documentation and API. This page is a compilation of important things to know if you're going to use this library. Many references are available at the end of this document pointing to comments from Apple's very own libdispatch maintainer (Pierre Habouzit).

My take-aways are:

• You should create very few, long-lived, well-defined queues. These queues should be seen as execution contexts in your program (gui, background work, ...) that benefit from executing in parallel. An important thing to note is that if these queues are all active at once, you will get as many threads running. In most apps, you probably do not need to create more than 3 or 4 queues.

• Go serial first, and as you find performance bottle necks, measure why, and if concurrency helps, apply with care, always validating under system pressure. Reuse

Fundamentals

Store any kind of data using the following graph concepts:

• Node: Graph data records
• Relationship: Connect nodes (has direction and a type)
• Property: Stores data in key-value pair in nodes and relationships
• Label: Groups nodes and relationships (optional)

# The goal is to define a common set of methods independent of Ruby version
# engine, and engine version to make other code more simple. The problem is:
#   1. the method may not be defined for the advertised Ruby version
#   2. the method may be defined but "shouldn't" be for that version
#   3. the method may not be defined and shouldn't be defined
# The conditional needs to account for these cases. If the method is not
# defined but should be for that Ruby version, that should be a hard error.
# If the method is defined but shouldn't be for that Ruby version, it may
# not be a compatible definition and that should be checked early rather
# than resulting in a confusing error later. Finally, if it's not defined

Shortcut for Syntax Highlighting in Keynote

The idea is based on a gist by @jimbojsb.

You can use Pygments or Highlight.

Install Pygments

brew install python

pcreux

group :production do
  gem 'unicorn'

  # Enable gzip compression on heroku, but don't compress images.
  gem 'heroku-deflater'

  # Heroku injects it if it's not in there already
  gem 'rails_12factor'
end

View Classes

This is a working draft of proposal. Feel free to comment, express your opinions and suggest alternative solutions.

Problem

As a second part of my Google Summer of Code, I planned to introduce View Classes to Action View.

There was ongoing discussion about this and extracting AV from AP (which is done already: rails/rails#11396) here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rubyonrails-gsoc/N7uDY_6513I
