    Date.parse(&#39;2010-11-01&#39;) &lt; Date.today

will return true if &#39;2010-11-01&#39; has already passed

You can also use past?

    Date.parse(&quot;2012-11-01&quot;).past?

I have a problem whereby google has indexed some pages with the wrong url.

The url they are indexing is:

    http://www.example.com/index.php/section1/section2

I need it to redirect to:

    http://www.example.com/section1/section2

.htaccess isn&#39;t my forte, so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to change the way Vim names its swap/backup/undo files? 

To avoid clutter, I&#39;ve set options in my `~/.vimrc` to dump these files in `~/.vim/tmp/{swap,backup,undo}`; however, as I routinely edit files in different directories with the same name, I often end up with lots of otherwise indistinguishable files and Vim sometimes has trouble recovering. 

Ideally, I&#39;d like to use the naming scheme that the persistent undo has (`%path%to%file.undo`) for all these auxiliary files; there&#39;s no obvious way to set it, but can it be done with `Buf{Read,Write}` macros?

I have a date variable, stored as a String in the &#39;YYYY-mm-dd&#39; format. What is the best way to check, if that date has not already passed?

I want to switch between rails 2.3.10 as the &quot;active&quot; gem for my OS, so that I can invoke it at the command line.

Is it possible to do this? I&#39;m not using rvm. Maybe it&#39;s time to start.

I tried `gem install rails --version=2.3.10`, but that just makes sure that version of the gem is installed, it doesn&#39;t put it in `/usr/bin/rails`.

(I do already use bundler for my apps -- but haven&#39;t needed any precise control over gems at the OS level until now)

How do I &quot;activate&quot; a different version of a particular gem?

How do I do a `script/generate migration` to create a join table for a `has_and_belongs_to_many` relationship?

The application runs on Rails 2.3.2, but I also have Rails 3.0.3 installed.

I have a Ruby on Rails application that was created using:

    rails new old_name -d mysql

Now I want to change the application name to be `new_name`.

Just changing the application folder name will not be enough, because the database name, for example, also has to be changed (from `old_name_development` to `new_name_development`). I wonder if there are other places in the automatically generated files that needs changing.

Is there any built in command for changing the application name ?

I&#39;m trying to generate a new model and forget the syntax for referencing another model&#39;s ID. I&#39;d look it up myself, but I haven&#39;t figured out, among all my Ruby on Rails documentation links, how to find the definitive source.

`$ rails g model Item name:string description:text` (and here either `reference:product` or `references:product`). But the better question is *where* or *how* can I look for this kind of silliness easily in the future?

Note: I&#39;ve learned the hard way that if I mistype one of these options and _run my migration_ then Ruby on Rails will totally screw up my database... and `rake db:rollback` is powerless against such screwups. I&#39;m sure I&#39;m just not understanding something, but until I do... the &quot;detailed&quot; information returned by `rails g model` still leaves me scratching...

I&#39;m using Rails 3.0.3 and have data for my &quot;categories&quot; table already in the database, but want to create a seed file from it. Is there any rake task that will generate the seeds.rb format for me from this table?

How can I calculate the days between 1 Jan 2010 and (for example) 3 Feb 2010?



How can I calculate the difference between two dates?

    var range = getDates(new Date(), new Date().addDays(7));

I&#39;d like &quot;range&quot; to be an array of date objects, one for each day between the two dates.

The trick is that it should handle month and year boundaries as well.


Javascript - get array of dates between 2 dates

How can I check if two different date objects have the same date information(having same day, month, year ...)? I have tried &quot;==&quot;, &quot;===&quot; and .equals but none seems to work.
 

Checking if two Dates have the same date info

I have date stored as string in an sqlite database like &quot;28/11/2010&quot;.
I want to convert the string to date.  

Specifically I have to convert lots of string dates between two dates.

In postgresql, I use `to_date(&#39;30/11/2010&#39;,&#39;dd/MM/yyyy&#39;)`, how can I do the same thing with sqlite?

Something like this:

    SELECT * FROM table
        WHERE   to_date(column,&#39;dd/MM/yyyy&#39;)
        BETWEEN to_date(&#39;01/11/2010&#39;,&#39;dd/MM/yyyy&#39;)
        AND     to_date(&#39;30/11/2010&#39;,&#39;dd/MM/yyyy&#39;)
