FFmpeg is one of the most powerful tools for video transcoding and manipulation, but it's fairly complex and confusing to use. That's why I decided to create this cheat sheet which shows some of the most often used commands.
Let's start with some basics:
ffmpeg calls the FFmpeg application in the command line window, could also be the full path to the FFmpeg binary or .exe file

It's pretty easy to do polymorphic associations in Rails: A Picture can belong to either a BlogPost or an Article. But what if you need the relationship the other way around? A Picture, a Text and a Video can belong to an Article, and that article can find all media by calling @article.media
This example shows how to create an ArticleElement join model that handles the polymorphic relationship. To add fields that are common to all polymorphic models, add fields to the join model.

1. An issue popups in Github. A bug or a feature request.
2. Developer starts coding after understanding the issue. He makes sure to add issue number in the form of #XXX - XXX is issue number - to the commit message. This links issue with the commit that was made. It's important to know 'why the commit was made'.
3. A CI listens to pushes to the Github repo and runs all the specs and optionally deploys the code to one of the staging servers.
4. After developer is done with coding, s/he assigns the issue to another developer for code review.
5. Code reviewer makes sure that all the tests are passing along with presence of code and test coverage. Code reviewer can assign issue back to the developer if there is some issue with the code. Developer will start at step 1 again.
6. Code reviewer assigns issue to QA. If QA is not happy, s/he adds issues that were found as comment to the original issue or possibly create new issues depending upon severity of the problem s/he found out.
APIs are becoming an essential feature of modern web applications. Rails does a good job of helping your application provide an API using the same MVC structure you're accustomed to.
You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.

How to setup Heroku Hostname SSL with GoDaddy SSL Certificate and Zerigo DNS
Heroku recently added an exciting new 'Hostname SSL' option. This option offers the broad compatibility of IP-based SSL, but at 1/5 the price ($20 / month at the time of this writing).
The following tutorial explains how to use Heroku's new 'Hostname SSL' option on your Heroku project. Before we begin, let's list what we're using here:
A modest alternative to DCI that might be worth further thought
One of the problems with advancing the discussion on DCI is that we lack a comparable alternative pattern that has the same goals, but favors a low ceremony approach. The closest thing we have to that is Rails concerns, but they are more like distant relatives of the DCI concepts rather than first cousins, and that makes comparisions between the two approaches not especially fruitful.
I am considering the idea of experimenting with my own paradigm that captures the intent and purity of DCI, but with the convenience of concerns. Please note that this is just the starting point of a conversation, it is NOT a promise of comercially available cold fusion or a cure for cancer. It's just a gist with an idea on it I'd like to hear your thoughts on.
What if we had a top-level topology that was split into Models, **Rol
