How RuboCop can ease your code review pains. Among the skills that constitute a decent Ruby coder, there is one key understanding that all coders share: your code is not only interpreted by a machine, but by fellow programmers as well. From this understanding, style guides were born to make interpreting subsequent lines of code easier (for humans). Style guides are a bit like accents in spoken languages—everyone understands each other better if each person understands the small nuances and styles within their team.
If you are a coder trying to adhere to the style of your colleagues’ code, or if you occasionally find yourself overlooking an obvious syntactic error, Rubocop —a static code analysis tool—is here to help. Benefits: There are at least two advantages that RuboCop offers when writing code: you can track silly errors quickly without burrowing through many lines of the error stackyou can aid your review process by smashing all the errors and style deficiencies before they get pushed to a remote branch.

The idea is to use one sheet per day to keep everything straight and on task. Next, fill in the three important tasks that you need to focus on. You can write down up to 9, but the pad suggests against it in order to maintain focus. Next, there's a space to jot down the hours of the day, depending on when your day starts and ends. After that, start adding tasks, appointments, and other things that will happen during your day. So what's so special about this pad? Saddleback Leather Briefcase Review - Dark Coffee Brown - Large. Midori World Meister's Note Vol. 1 "Dainel" Notebook Review. The Midori World Meister’s Note series features collaborations between Japan and other countries. The Dainel is the first in the series which Midori describes as ” A marriage of French leather paper and Japan’s MD paper, developed for the best writing comfort”.
The color of the cover is a bit more brown and less grey than the picture shows. Let’s start with the cover and then make our way inside. The cover is made in France out of “French leather paper” and according to the packaging: “[Dainel] stands for ‘suede’ in France. To me the cover looks a bit like suede but I was disappointed when I touched it; it feels like a mediocre felt. This notebook is extremely well made and dare I say, better than anything else I have seen in its price range. The inside of the notebook features 91 A5 pages of Midori’s exceptional cream colored MD paper which holds fountain pen ink beautifully.
It’s a 91 page notebook because the first page has this logo printed on it. No bleed through and minor ghosting. Mental dialogues, yak-shaving & the triumph of the 'mini-review' | 43 Folde. From time to time in the middle of an interruption-driven week, I’ll find myself in the weeds and struggling to think where I should park an item. My brain speaks informally with itself: Oh, man, I don’t have time for this…uh…I guess it’s a TODO so, put it on next actions….but…no, it’s really got some pieces to it so maybe projects…oh, crap, I’m too busy for this, I’ll just toss it in inbox and deal with it later. I’ve finally learned to diagnose these odd dialogues as a symptom of a simple problem: I’m mired in seemingly important details, I’ve fallen out of touch with my “stuff," and, damn it, I need to do a quick mini-review. My mini-review falls somewhere between the glances I give my lists throughout the day and the comprehensive weekly review I do each weekend.
What is it that’s really hanging me up right now? My pal, Danny, taught me a great phrase: yak-shaving. ✦ OmniFocus Series: Flags, Due Dates, and Daily Review | gridwriter. The idea behind assigning due dates and prioritizing your tasks is a well-discussed topic that expands beyond OmniFocus. In fact, I even wrote about it before. For those of you who have read that post, here's a tl;dr for this post — nothing has changed. In my line of work, and even my personal life, situations arise in which attention needs to be redirected quite frequently. The ideal world of "first come, first serve" just doesn't apply to me no matter how much I would prefer it. "Random and urgent" projects/tasks are actually not really random when I think about how regularly "random and urgent" tasks get dropped on my plate. Knowing the nature of my daily life, I have to deal with managing priorities, even if it means that I don't get to complete everything that I had planned for the day.
The question is — how do I manage those priorities while preventing the random nature of my day destroy the progress of things that were originally planned? Soft Due Dates Another casualty? Flag Tasks. Post-it Weekly Planner Calendar Review - OfficeSupplyGeek. Review: The Kindle Paperwhite (Compared to the Kindle Touch) — Shawn Blanc. November 2, 2012 It took about a week from when I bought my first iPad until I realized I would likely never buy a physical book again.
The iPad was to books what my first iPod was to music. It had been years since I’d bought a physical CD — all my music lives in iTunes and comes from the iTunes music store. So too would it now be with books. My enjoyment for reading digital books evolved even more when, last year, I purchased my first Kindle. It took all of 10 minutes of reading on the Kindle Touch for me to regret the money I’d spent in the iBookstore up until that point. Reading a book on a Kindle truly is a more enjoyable and relaxing experience than reading one on the iPad. The Kindle is a single-serving device. The only significant quibble I had with the Kindle Touch was its non-illuminated display. Which is why, when the Kindle Paperwhite was announced, I ordered one immediately. What’s Great Not all the gadgets I buy to review continue to get used after I’ve written about them. Sailor 1911 Professional Gear Imperial Black Edition – Handwritten Review.

Sailor took their standard Pro Gear and completely murdered it out. Appearance & Packaging: The appearance of this pen is what you’re really paying a premium for. As far as packing goes, I did not get this pen in the fancy black presentation gift box.
