  1. @jlecour I tried to go XCode only and failed. I needed GCC to build Rubies older than 1.9.3 with RVM.
  2. @superninjarobot I used it in a Hash tracking counts, by name.
  3. A fun Ruby trick: hash.sort_by(&:reverse)
  4. @rolfb Discussions are being had about the project. /cc @avdi @cmaxw @dbrady @joshsusser @kentbeck @rubyrogues
  5. @thibaut_barrere @jlecour PostgreSQL worked fine for me, but I was forced to recompile MySQL. :(
  6. @jlecour Go straight to this: github.com/kennethreitz/o… (it saves some pain)
  7. @jlecour It's a hair more than the usual pain. I did have to upgrade some stuff, which forced some recompiles.
  8. @deryldoucette Yes, I've been looking into getting some software. Thanks for the recommendation.
  9. My wife is teaching me how to find the constellations in the evenings lately. I lead an amazing life filled with wonder.
  10. @arwagner It's true, sometimes. You do need to understand that you're accepting a risk in doing so though.
  11. @codeodor It's a fair question. Then I guess you have to weigh the risks of what you could be getting yourself into. /cc @notch
  12. I love this advice. RT @notch: Remember to only break rules you understand.
  13. @_emboss_ @josevalim Interesting. Perhaps they are very rare, or regional. Or, perhaps just made up. :(
  14. Fun: 25 Words That Simply Don't Exist in English sobadsogood.com/2012/04/29/25-…
  15. @joshsusser I like that. I can name a few of the top of my head.
  16. @GavinStark I'll be giving it here in Oklahoma at the "Disbelief Discourse" lecture series for the Oklahoma Atheists.
  17. @joshsusser I would like to discuss this with you I wonder if we could spin it into a full episode: Things Rails Does to You?
