Agreed. This is really, really difficult to read.

Hi Sandeep

Correct, it does not work in IRB. The way log_buddy works it needs a source file to function.

Re: visudo: sudoers file busy, try again later

Warning: the chmod command you list may be too permissive for some systems, and will completely lock you out of your sudoers file! This happened to me on a centos 5 install, where sudoers should be 0440 - the chmod you listed made it 0540, which broke it.

Re: What’s Under Your Monitor?

I think you meant abstractions like this or this. If we had any hibernate or gorm books in the office, those would be relegated to monitor stands as well.

Re: save bang your head, active record will drive you mad

Rails did not “change the meaning” of the bang to mean something dangerous. Bang methods have always meant that in Ruby, see Kernel#exit! for instance. Matz has even commented on the fact that the bang means ‘danger’, and not necessarily modifies its receiver (though thats often the case).

See also David A Black’s post on this.

Eric: I was saying any ruby programmer should know about the concepts used in to_proc. Ideally folks on your team would be read blogs or the ActiveSupport docs to get an initial understanding, and then look at the source code a bit later to gain a deeper knowledge.

And things like open classes and what “send” does it definitely foundational Ruby.

This may be the greatest thing ever.

I read memorandum, among others, but I think it would really be more valuable if I could tell it what my favorite topics are and what I don't care about. Then filter the most popular discussions based on that, so I get even less noise to deal with.

re: digg - its fun for wasting time, but I don't go there for any sort serious discussion. Slashdot at +4 is much better for quality comments.

Re: The closed blogosphere…

rsanheim — Wed, 11 Jan 2006 19:47:42 -0000

I blog about java, ruby on rails, TDD, agile in general, ajax, and pretty much anything nerdy. Also the occasional politics and current affairs. And aqua teen hunger force (of course).
