pumactl is very broken, @nemshilov and @joneslee85 wrote this bash script replacement and it works so reliably on production server. So here it is, share with the world!
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Simple move this file into your Rails `script` folder. Also make sure you `chmod +x puma.sh`.
# Please modify the CONSTANT variables to fit your configurations.
# The script will start with config set by $PUMA_CONFIG_FILE by default
PUMA_CONFIG_FILE=config/puma.rb

Here’s an example of my current web app user agent, device, and/or feature detection approach. I tend to inline this in the page header just before the stylesheet as part of the distribution build. A benefit of this approach is that detection is done early without any external dependencies. It’s also straightforward to modify or extend while you…
env = (function() {
var flags = {}, ua = navigator.userAgent, el = document.createElement('div'), video = document.createElement('video'), audio = document.createElement('audio'), root = document.documentElement, i
function flag(names) {
names = names.split(' ')
for (i = 0; i < names.length; i++)
flags[names[i]] = true
}
function classnames() {
var names = [], name
for(name in flags) if (flags.hasOwnProperty(name))

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Get the share counts from various APIs

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.
