Re: Quick Left | Cookies With My CORS

You're right in that authentication doesn't work with a wildcard Allow header. That makes sense. Unfortunately they don't seem to work reasonably at all in any browsers.

Were you able to get authenticated requests working cross-browser? In my quick tests: Chrome: Passes saved Cookie header. Refuses to use the supplied username and password to handle 401 responses. Firefox: Passes saved Cookie and Authorization headers for the remote origin. Pops up its own login box for 401 responses and will completely ignore any requests supplying a username and password. Safari: Worst of both worlds. Passes saved Cookie header. Only makes requests without credentials and will fail the first sign of a 401.

I've yet to use this technique, but I noticed #render now takes a block so you could simulate nested layouts by: render(:layout => 'layouts/base') { ... }

My family had a similar experience. My brother in-law died in a car accident. Two days after, his car insurance company called my father in-law because they were notified of the accident and wanted to make sure everyone was OK.

I can't imagine a more awkward conversation.

Re: Magnus Holm - When in Doubt, Turn to _why

Awesome write up! I spent the last hour playing with the two versions of this code myself. I love this stuff.

My favorite part was replacing:
key.scan(/(^[^\[]+)|\[([^\]]+)\]/).flatten.compact
with:
key.split(/[\]\[]+/)

Granted, the first regex isn't the best. There should be no reason you couldn't write the regex to return the matches in a single level array. The call to #flatten and #compact are harsh.

I think we can all agree _why's method, while obscure, is remarkably elegant.

That's a fun idea. I created an account and I'll try to add a few random quotes from whatever I happen to be reading at the time. I also subscribed to the main RSS feed. Should make for a nice change of pace when I read the mostly technical in nature feeds I subscribe to.

Congrats on launching! A lot of great ideas never make it that far.
