@yokofakun JRuby is supposed to be faster now that the current Ruby interpreter.
| @mza Just bought practical Rails Recipes. Looks pretty good for the intermediate level. Wouldn't recommend agile web development with rails. |
|
| @mza Vim for me. Easier to switch back to the command line than NetBeans, and TextMac isn't free. |
|
| @mndoci I see Google Adsense being location sensitive. Different adverts at home, and at work based on the search history for each location. |
|
| @freesci So my point would be, if I was working on my own I can share everything, otherwise I have to compromise with collaborators needs. |
|
| @freesci Plus, as work becomes more interesting, and therefore 'increases in publication value', collaborators are less willing to share. |
|
| @freesci A problem I have, is that I don't own all the data I'm using to make it available. So it's difficult to make my 100% research open. |
|
| @freesci Cameron, Hooray! |
|
| @freesci Watching it too, streaming seems ok on a Mac. What time is Cameron talking? |
|
| @yokofakun This amazing, I just checked the survey, and there have just been 70 new entries from France. The number of results is now 471. |
|
| @yokofakun Thanks Pierre, much appreciated |
|
| I'm starting to use Google Docs more and more as a dumping ground for anything text based. |
|
| Google Docs now allows PDF uploads http://tinyurl.com/5ntrck |
|
| @freesci Agree with @adamk about kitchen sink. I recommend Ramaze and Sinatra as even smaller Ruby frameworks. Ruby also has mod_rails too. |
|
| @mza Me too. On a weekend would be best so I don't have to take time off. |
|
| @mza Saw that, it looks interesting but I'm not sure I can justify the time. Will you go? |
|
| Had a look at the science blogging schedule, and I'm quite excited to be able to meet in person all the people whose blogs I read. |
|
| July 1 tommorrow - nine months of my (funded) PhD left. |
|
| My housemate persuaded me to go to the gym on Tuesday, three days later I've got serious bicep strain in both arms. |
|
| Just processed 300k database records in about 10 minutes using 20 nodes |
