I've used the felt dots, the sandpaper dots and the clear plastic strips. What I find most useful is hot glue. You can make your own dots or just trace the ruler with a strip of glue. Make sure that it is not too much for it will make the ruler uneven.
The hot glue is the best that I have used.

I use an Olipfa ruler that has an edge on one end. The edge grips the edge of the cutting board. Then I also use one of the large suction cup handles on top of my 24" ruler. By pressing down on the handle in combination with the edge ruler, I don't have problems with my ruler slipping anymore. May not work for everyone, but it does work for me.

n/m. Magnesium float. I found it but can't see how it works for this purpose. Unless you use it in place of a ruler, in which case how do you measure?
