Installed Colorful Tabs plugin for Firefox and now feel like a little girl enjoying pink, green and purple tabs!
| vsizikov Nice performance boost for JRuby's Time methods (soon to be integrated): http://pastie.org/225760 |
|
| vsizikov QotD: "the only way to measure the [code] usefulness is by the amount of money that the people are willing to part with". CRAZY! :) |
|
| vsizikov Tried the just-released Eclipse IDE 3.4. A bit disappointed, since there is nothing really new for pure Java development there. |
|
| vsizikov JRuby trunk has been upgraded with rubygems 1.2, and so far the results are outstanding! Much faster, memory efficient (40Mb vs 600Mb!!!) |
|
| vsizikov @john_lam Some Process methods even documented to return 0 on Windows (#ppid). See http://tinyurl.com/63965f . |
|
| vsizikov New blog entry on clonning Ruby svn repo to git: http://tinyurl.com/65jlbe |
|
| vsizikov Finally, managed to create a *FULL* git clone of Ruby's svn repo: http://github.com/vvs/ruby-... |
|
| vsizikov Finally got my Firefox 3. It looks and feels pretty nice, speedy. Most of the extensions work too. FF3 is WAY better than IE on my PC. |
|
| vsizikov So much for the Firefox 3 download day record... Http/1.1 Service Unavailable |
|
| vsizikov Silly, but fun benchmark for JRuby's (with micro-optz) #upto, #downto and #times, compared to Ruby 1.8.6: http://pastie.org/215911 |
|
| vsizikov Heh, one of the Ruby 1.8.6 patchlevel updates is about 3500 lines long, with completely rewritten strtod function (backported from 1.9). |
|
| vsizikov Finally, with today's commit JRuby passes all StringIO specs: 300 examples, 592 expectations, 0 failures, 0 errors |
|
| vsizikov Overclocked CPU from 2.6Ghz to 3.6Ghz. Still amazes me that I had to do that so that Vista could be a bit snappier. |
|
| vsizikov @timbray If only that was the biggest incompatibility in 1.9. Currently, Ruby 1.9 fails about 1010 tests from rubyspec 1.8 suite. |
|
| vsizikov Great screencast on Git: http://tinyurl.com/5vksfy It was presented during the last RailsConf 2008. |
|
| vsizikov All right, the latest JRuby runs Rails 2.1 with jdbcmysql driver just fine, just checking... |
|
| vsizikov @nicksieger How did you do that? :) The size of a full JRuby git repository is bigger than allowed GitHub limit for me... |
|
| vsizikov Slashdot today: "Does Antimatter Fall Up Or Down?". For some reason, I really want to know that! :) |
|
| vsizikov Ah, great! An official bug tracker (redmine) for Ruby: http://redmine.ruby-lang.or... |
