For Ruby there's httparty, https://github.com/jnunemaker/httparty , curb, and a couple of others that escape me right now.

It's not the core, it's just the webui. I never use it, choosing in preference the REPL and the `knife` command.

Yes it does - good point, but the sigil-tastic snippet in the parent reads the whole file into an array, too - it's just harder to tell. Plus the parent snippet is not Ruby 1.9 compatible. Anyways, my version was just to illustrate that sys

Hi Peter, this looks great. Was the decision to make a video rather than an ebook a commercial one or personal preference?

Sure and I agree with your point about his example - it's not a good example. Did you read this: We've already added a new feature: any collection can now be displayed as a dictionary I think this a very weak motivation for creatin

Your general point about a one-line may be well made but your one-liner doesn't do what Steve's code does. Idiomatic or not, your dictionary will only have letters that correspond to posts' first letters. The OP has the right idea but the w

Not just the special numbers. Kaprekar's operation always results in a multiple of 9. Given a > b > c > d. Kaprekar's operation gives: 1000a + 100b + 10c + d - (1000d + 100c + 10b + a) =999(a - d) + 90(b - c) =9(11

I love Magit, but don't miss git blame: vc-annotate works really well. P and N navigate the git history of the buffer.

Great article. Recommends building on conventional hash-less URIs and using progressive enhancement e.g onClick handlers to implement hash-bang URIs. Three particularly interesting ideas: * sites should support the _escaped_fragment_ query

Although I cannot find the original text, I expect the word "move" is not a precise translation because he goes on to say: > Animals, which move, have limbs and muscles; the earth has no limbs or muscles, therefore it does not move. It
