  1. Performant RDBMS requires use of stored-procedures? I've got good money that Stonebraker has never done web dev. http://bit.ly/G7mBF
  2. Does @github provide anything like `git log --graph' anywhere on the website? Looking for a way to visualize merge history.
  3. Pushed out a new hpricot release, 0.8.2. Enjoy. http://bit.ly/o3aEL
  4. @jamesbritt I think that's the crux of my question. According to Sam Ruby, the original author of xchar.rb that's behind ASupp, they aren't.
  5. Quick poll: What should #fast_xs escape? a) [<>&] (ASupp); b) a+["] (current Hpricot); or c) b+['] (JRuby fast_xs). http://is.gd/4Ofpf
  6. @luislavena No, and why didn't I think to look at those before! Thank you.
  7. I'd be avoiding the windows stuff with JRuby if I could, but I'm now a co-maintainer of Hpricot and am about to push out a new release.
  8. OMG do you have to shave a dozen yaks to get a suitable MinGW build environment on Windows just to build Ruby. Horrible, horrible.
  9. So sorry to hear Frank! Hope you find something even more engaging. RT @fwierzbicki: Leaving Sun :( http://bit.ly/uvUPR
  10. Voted. You should vote too, chances are the lines are as short at your local polling place as they were at mine.
  11. Back from saying goodbye to "Unkie" Jeff. Didn't realize how much I looked up to him. Already miss him so much.
  12. Arrived in BOS. Thinking of a diversion to the North End for pizza and pastries before heading to Maine.
  13. @gilesgoatboy You down wid' OPP!
  14. Ok, so the report of Object#returning's of demise was premature: http://bit.ly/48iiHj. Seems I may have hit a lazy-load or load order bug.
  15. Remember when Object#returning was cool? http://bit.ly/2yIheI aww yyyeahh. Time to excise all usages now - it's gone in Rails 3.
  16. Put out a sneaky 0.9.0.1 release of ar-jdbc today for those of you who want an upgrade path to JRuby 1.4+ but are having issues w/ 0.9.2.
  17. Finally cleaned out my inboxes after a couple of yucky weeks letting stuff piling up.
  18. @headius ruby-debug seems like a no-brainer, esp. because of the tedious install process.
  19. @jeffreydamick Good question. I'll do some investigation on it if you suggest a real-life example. Deal?
  20. FAQ from the JRuby ML today. Did you know how easy it is to use a Java XML parser from JRuby? http://gist.github.com/216119
