breaking on Ctrl-C in ruby-debug (doesn't yet...
To break on Ctrl-C, launch the debugger, and use the catch command to catch the Interrupt exception. (rdb:1) catch Interrupt Catch exception Interrupt. (rdb:1) Now I know the command, but when I hit Ctrl-C when running Ruby On Rails, it doesn’t break into the debugger. It just stops the program. I asked for an answer on Stack Overflow.

I enjoyed this for the collection of images more than for the text, though I liked that too. Among the images is one from my hometown, Flagstaff, right before the conclusion!

PageDown is Stack Overflow’s markdown library for the browser and node.js (doesn’t appear to be in npm yet). It is based on Showdown and WMD. It includes sanitization to prevent XSS attacks (very important to Stack Overflow). Should be useful for many different kinds of web apps!

google docs edit link: no undo history
A person with an edit link has no access to the undo history in Google Docs. I found this out by opening one of my links in Chrome’s Incognito Mode, and hitting the Undo button. This is good IMO, because sometimes things can be added during the process of creating a document that I’d rather not share. Share away!

This is clever: two digital cameras (one for each page showing in an open book), a device for holding the book and cameras in position, a human to turn the pages and hit the camera buttons, and post-processing software to turn the photos into a PDF eBook.

In my defense, I was quite good at reading Usenet. I tried every new release of every NewsReader on an eternal quest for the one that would enable me to read the most articles in the shortest amount of time. I actually did benchmarks. I could whip through articles like you wouldn’t believe. Seriously—other Usenet aficionados would watch me and ask for tips. Then one day I came up with the most...

I’d also use this in conjunction with pbcopy. pbpaste | python -m json.tool | pbcopy. Formatting this: {"this": {"is": "a", "nested": "json"}, "object": [true]} As this: { "object": [ true ], "this": { "is": "a", "nested": "json" } } Nice! richardlog: Like my colleagues at Avisi I’m an avid OSX user.

Eternal September →
There’s really only one. Sorry, but pre-2010 Quora isn’t anything like pre-1993 Usenet. I know because I caught a whiff of Usenet after September 1993 but long before now and thought it was great. I can only imagine the Usenet that spoiled Dave Fischer. You and I missed out.
