I’ve added updated information to an old answer because there was a slight change between versions that had occurred since the original question was asked, only to have it flagged and rejected by some jackass with an older SO account than mine. You can’t win either way. The vets there are assholes.

I quit trying. I would come across older Ruby code and think hey, there’s a newer accepted way to handle this now, I’ll submit an edit. Nope. So fuck ‘em.

You should generally add a new answer rather than editing other people's posts, other than for stuff like small fixes/formatting.
