This is pretty interesting. I will definitely be adding this to my war chest of coding tools.

I'm sure with little toy apps, "tail -f" works. When you outgrow that, you need something better.

I think what it comes down to is people don't like change. Keep up the good work Nick.

I'm curious about throughput as well. In a small test, it appears that our evented mogrels were performing better than unicorn. I don't have any numbers, just resource times in the webkit inspector.

How do you have real time when you are doing over 10 requests per second?

Actually I said "asciicast". I got the term from here: http://asciicasts.com/

I was wondering if anyone was going to catch that. It is mirrored.

Re: iPhone 3GS upgrade for cheaper

I guess this is all moot. I have no will; I've already pre-purchased the phone, and hopefully it will arrive Friday.

Re: iPhone 3GS upgrade for cheaper

bryanl — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:54:38 -0000

Sure. Sometimes I give the phone to the kid to use.

bryanl — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:22:31 -0000

Sure do. I've had the same number for 5 years now at least.

I can't believe you came in and Steve Yegge'd my blog. This is a really good reply!

Re: I’m Smarter Than Rails

bryanl — Fri, 08 May 2009 11:26:22 -0000

I would be to differ. Sinatra is a web framework. Calling it "just a library" is playing semantics.

Of course this applies to other frameworks as well. Smart-Aleck... ;)

Re: Introduction to Acceptance Testing Ruby Web Applications

bryanl — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 07:47:52 -0000

The code does work. Of course this isn't production ready code. The example here is the cucumber feature, not the ruby code. As written, everything is syntactically correct. When giving a 40 minute talk, you have to balance what you are trying to explain with the amount of completeness.

<pre>
class Line
def initialize(a, b)
@a,@b = a,b
end

def result
Math.sqrt(
(@b[:x].to_i-@a[:x].to_i)**2 +
(@b[:y].to_i-@a[:y].to_i)**2
)
end

private

end
</pre>

As you can see here, the instance variables are created in the initializer. For brevity, I made the assumption that the points passed in were correct. If you were to use code like this in production, of course you would add in checks to see if things were correct. And you would also use a more robust Point class.

Now, on to another thing. Everyone likes to complain on the internet. Before coming to someone's blog and creating a crazy invalid complaint, you should be sure to have your ducks in row.

case 1. you blog is broken.

case 2. according to your web server error message everything you are using on your site is out of date. i would upgrade if i were you :)

Thanks for watching my video!!!

Re: ReinH — Simplify Your Dev Environment With Passenger Pane

bryanl — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:07:36 -0000

I like passenger pane. Only problem is that it doesn't handle all the passenger options like RailslBaseUri, so I have stopped using it. I also need ssl on my dev sites, so I have to use uniq IP addresses which passenger pane doesn't support.

Looks like vimeo ate my movie. Time to host this thing myself I guess.

Re: Using ctags in vim

bryanl — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 07:31:51 -0000

This most likely means your vim-ruby configuration isn't up to date. Either get the latest from http://github.com/vim-ruby/vim-ruby or you can start watching my vim config at http://github.com/bryanl/vimconfig
