Find solved forum threads with Google

to google search string hack query title forums forum by chrelad on Jul 19, 2008

A method of using google which allows for fast and accurate searching of forums and other websites for solved threads matching your criteria.

Just so everyone is aware, I just put the tag "hack" in the tag list so that those looking for google hacks might stumble on this. We'll see how that works out.

http://www.google.com/search?q=intitle:solved+intext:nvidia+5200
// This will find tons of solved issues regarding the NVidia 5200 graphics card

http://www.google.com/search?q=intitle:solved+intext:nvidia+5200+"no+screens+found"
// This should help you fix a problem with "No screens found" on an NVidia 5200 card

Lispify Ruby

to ruby parsetree lisp by farleyknight on Jul 16, 2008

// description of your code here

   require 'rubygems'  
   require 'parse_tree'  
   require 'ruby2ruby'  
     
   Sexp.class_eval do  
     def unbox  
       if length == 1  
         self.first  
       else  
         self  
       end  
     end  
   end  
     
   class Lispify < SexpProcessor  
     def initialize  
       super  
       self.auto_shift_type = true  
       self.require_empty   = false  
     end  
     
     def process_vcall(expr)  
       s(expr.first)  
     end  
     
     def process_call(expr)  
       expr = Sexp.from_array(expr)  
     
       first  = process(expr[0]).unbox  
       second = process(expr[2]).unbox  
     
       s(expr[1], first, second)  
     end  
     
     def process_array(expr)  
       process(expr.first)  
     end  
   end

Which results in:

>> Lispify.new.process(ParseTree.translate(%q{ x + x * x - x }))
=> s(:-, s(:+, :x, s(:*, :x, :x)), :x)

Fix for EE Multi-relationship field in PHP4

recursevly remove .svn files from an existing repo

to svn recursive remove git by shan on Jun 29, 2008

If you need to take a project out of scm, you can run this bash script from the top folder - and it will remove all .svn folders recursevly (sp)

Works well for
- changing an svn checkout into and svn export
- switching from svn to git

find . -type d -name '.svn' -exec rm -rf {} \;
