  1. Compiled hello world example in MacRuby http://bit.ly/mMj2L
  2. started reading Oreilly's book on Scala and enjoyed it so far. Time to rest tho.
  3. @headius do you know of anyone using robotcode with JRuby? http://robocode.sourceforge...
  4. Awesome progress on @macruby experimental branch: http://bit.ly/OFsZ4 first C extension supported, initial AOT compiler, IB and much more.
  5. @josephjaramillo try using plex, works great for me
  6. if pure web apps are so great, I wonder why most people wrote native apps instead of iphone webapps, maybe a mix of native + web is the key
  7. @pauldix doesn't multi require you bundle the queries? We usually do 1 req/action.
  8. @pauldix I need to look at multi but how different is it from having a pool of patron sessions?
  9. @pauldix then why not use Patron instead?
  10. @pauldix if I remember currently: keep alive, synchronous, define queries one after the other.
  11. @sd I talked with Paul about Typhoeus but because of its design, it's not a good fit for couchrest :(
  12. @philtoland thanks for Patron
  13. more info about Patron, the new ruby http client library that might change the way you do ruby http: http://bit.ly/YsHFz
  14. wow, patron is really fast compared to net/http and/or restclient. http://gist.github.com/142999 I might try a couchrest/patron branch.
  15. next couchrest release has built-in pagination support thanks to John Wood's contribution! ( http://johnpwood.net/ )
  16. Google Chrome OS, a thin (web) OS for netbooks: http://bit.ly/13NVxQ (via @olg)
  17. after restarting my machine (major cause of slowness), my new Time tweak is only 5x faster than using Time.parse.
  18. @gbuesing weird, @wycats gets more or less the same results as you. I'll test more machine, mb or mbp?
  19. @gbuesing and you are using exactly the same code?
  20. @gbuesing I don't want my lib to overwrite the env TZ & if you look at my benchmarks Time.utc is super slow :(
