Learnings for Week 16 2010

Learnings for the past week. It was a busy one. * rvm uninstall leaves build files ** rvm remove gets rid of everything * Firefox on Ubuntu gets thin black borders around images that are resized in html/css ** Adding some transparency to the edges of the images fixes * rails i18n translation keys can't have '.' in them, even if escaped * -webkit-user-select/-moz-user-select:none; to disable selection on a webpage * Webkit doesn't allow keyboard entry to 0 height inputs * Firefox and Webkit don't allow keyboard entry to invisible inputs (display:none) * jQuery fadeOut doesn't work on some (circle, line) svg elements in Webkit * jQuery.keypad on multiple inputs should check if the keyboard target is changing before updating the keypad (huge performance gains) * git cherry lists commits that don't exist in another branch. Compares the changeset, not commit ids * gem install -f will install gem even if dependencies can't be met * apt-get build-dep ruby1.8 will get you all the ruby build dependencies * git checkout -t -b BRANCH origin/BRANCH will checkout and track a remote branch
