HOW TO: Easily output alternating item styles via metaprogramming
I always need to apply alternating item styles when outputting a collection, here''s what I''ve been using recently. In the app helper I define this method: def alternate(items,alt=false items.map{|i| i.class}.each { |k| k.class_eval {attr_accessor :alt}} items.each { |i| i.alt, alt = alt, !alt } end When I call the partial I wrap the collection with this method:

[LLVMdev] open source multithreaded garbage collector suitable for LLVM applications?
...sn't as fast as some, but overall I don't think that the collector itself performs badly. It's been carefully tuned over many years on a wide range of systems, and I think it's extremely unlikely that a much simpler approach will in generally result in better performance. It's ferociously hard to benchmark things like this, because it all depends critically on the allocation pattern of your application. A tuned precise copying collector such as those used in the HotSpot VM might do better than a more general-purpose tool, as you'd expect, but it will need accurate type informa...

writing an MDA, help me avoid corrupted indexes
...nd then drop good mail into the appropriate maildir directory for the virtual users to get via both POP3 and IMAP. I could conceivably use procmail to do that MDA, and I've done similar things with procmail in the past, but my growing experience with procmail indicates that procmail is too ferocious for what simple work I need done, and too difficult to make work right in a virtual-user environment. So I've written my own little MDA with a few lines of shell that will take the mail from Postfix+SpamAssassin and ultimately deposit mails in the maildirs. So far so good, except that I k...

[LLVMdev] open source multithreaded garbage collector suitable for LLVM applications?
Hello All Does any know about some opensource multithread-compatible (or concurrent) garbage collector library, if possible suitable for LLVM? (I mean that I want several mutator threads; the collector can be stoptheworld or concurrent ....) H.Boehm's conservative GC is multithread compatible, but seems quite slow (allocation is about the time of a C malloc). And it is well known that

HOW I: Wrap content sections using blocks and then nest them using lambdas
This is the type of code that I''m excited when it works but hopefully will get some suggestions on how to do it better. Last time, the code was a bit to "ferocious" and I was missing out on a built in feature to rails that I didn''t know about. This one is a bit more complex... to factor out all the markup for different sections of the site I have a bunch of view helpers (thanks to Ryan Bates: http://railscasts.com/episodes/40) that are setup to...

Fair enough. I knew this was unlikely to be accepted for multiple reasons, never mind a ferociously high potential-pain:reward ratio. I'm happy to help in my insignificant way, re: the second patch. DO many people use filesystem quotas with dovecot much, you think? > I think it's just doing a lot of work on the mbox file itself >(reading/writing/rewriting). Would be nice of co...
