I'm digging around trying to find a good set of tools for creating console applications, as most of the settings I expect to be using Ruby in the coming months won't be webapps, but server-side scripts. I know of highline, and I do plan on using that for user and possible password prompts, but I know that the Console application world s...

I'm using Haml from the command-line to do a basic transform of one .haml file to .html, like this: > haml input.haml output.html Thing is, this produces single-quotes around attributes in the resulting HTML. So how to I pass in the :attr_wrapper => '"' option from the command-line? Alternatively, can I just globally set :attr_wrappe...
This is more of a "why do things work this way" question rather than a "I don't know how to do this" question... So the gospel on pulling associated records that you know you're going to use is to use :include because you'll get a join and avoid a whole bunch of extra queries: Post.all(:include => :comments) However when you look at ...

Hello, what's the PHP equivalent of Ruby's "||=" assignment idiom? The scenario is I want to instantiate an object or array "on demand," and not necessarily when a class is initialized. I've tried to find this in the PHP docs, but I'm having difficulty finding things I need in there (miss the Ruby). Thank you! ...
I have a simple idea for a small web application that I'd like to build out, but it requires syntax highlighting in the same manner that Pastie does. I was wondering if anybody knew what library (jQuery, Prototype, any) was used in the frontend, and/or which (if any) plugins/gems were used in the backend. For reference, you can find an...
Say I'm writing a mixin module that adds functionality to a third-party class. Obviously some of the methods and instance variables I want to make accessible to the third-party class and its clients.
