Whenever you are dealing with Select Multiple inputs, be assured it
hurts. Using Javascript you can spice up that unhandy plain old
vanilla Select Multiple element that comes with your browser. Inspired
by various existing solutions I ended up in creating my own version of
a sortable, searchable Multiselect Widget.

Browser upload controls have been pretty much the same for years. They
are very difficult to style, and do not look consistent across
browsers. Perhaps the biggest issue with them is they provide no
feedback to the user about how long the submission will take. One
alternative is to use Flash for the uploads. There are numerous
libraries available, I like SWFUpload. Since the reason you are here
is probably because you can’t get it working in Rails, I’m going to
try and help you deal with the quirks associated with using Flash and
Rails together.

The Data Liberation Front is an engineering team at Google whose
singular goal is to make it easier for users to move their data in and
out of Google products. We do this because we believe that any data
that you create in (or import into) a product is your own. We help
and consult other engineering teams within Google on how to "liberate"
their products. This is our mission statement:

  
Users own the data they store in any of Google's products. Our team's
goal is to give users greater control by making it easier for them to
move data in and out.

V8 JavaScript Engine - V8 is Google's open source JavaScript engine.
 
V8 is written in C++ and is used in Google Chrome, the open source
browser from Google. It implements ECMAScript as specified in
ECMA-262, 3rd edition, and runs on Windows XP and Vista, Mac OS X 10.5
(Leopard), and Linux systems that use IA-32 or ARM processors.
 
V8 can run standalone, or can be embedded into any C++ application.

It is clear that Google is embracing JavaScript, same cannot be said for others, though [1].

LESS extends CSS with variables, mixins, operations and nested rules.

 LESS is an extension of CSS. You can write LESS code just like you
would write CSS, except you need to compile it to CSS.

By default, YARD is compatible with the same RDoc syntax most Ruby
developers are already familiar with. However, one of the biggest
advantages of YARD is the extended meta-data syntax, commonly known as
"tags", that you can use to express small bits of information in a
structured and formal manner.

We've all been there, mucking around in the sendmail m4 macros trying
one more time to get the damn mailing list to update for the new
users. Every time we say, "This sucks, I want to rewrite this stupid
thing." Yet, when we're done, we simply crawl back to our caves
covered in our sendmail wounds.
