...ffice ? Who knows the machine, the deploying environment and the circumstances better ? The user or some anonymous and arrogant nutter perhaps many thousands of miles (or kilometers) away ? Remember machines should be working for the convenience of Humanity - not for the convenience of anonymous nutters who know absolutely nothing about the user's work situation ! Generally having strong passwords is good however generalised circumstances should never be forced down the throats of loyal users. An English (as in England, Europe) saying is:- Rules were made for the guidance of wise men, but...

We in the JRuby project are working to get Rails to work successfully. However, the array-indexed block parameter is not something currently supported in JRuby: x = {} [1,2].each {|x[:foo]|} This is not used extensively in the Rails code, but it''s used enough to cause things to break in JRuby. We have been modifying the above to use a temporary local variable, but obviously

I''m facing a situation where I am going to have to integrate with a legacy database , specifically the IBM UniVerse database, which is not *quite* relational. It feels like a holdover from the dark ages of computing. Before I attempt writing an ActiveRecord adapter, I''d like to know if anyone else uses this database and if I''m the only person that needs this thing. I

The recent Rails security issue highlighted a concern I''ve had about Rails deploys; namely, you shouldn''t deploy anything to production that you don''t need there. Rails apps have a number of scripts--potential security holes or DOS targets in this case--along with all the other application code you need. There''s no reason you should have script/server, console,

Does anyone have any experience retrieving latitutde and longitude for an address from the Google Maps API? I'd like to have an R script that submits a street address, city, state, and zip code and returns the coordinates. So far, I've been submitting the coordinates from another program, then loading the coordinates in R and merging them back into the data frame I want to use.

'anonymous nutters'? I guess those people on the cited mail lists are using fake names. Given you're carrying on about being English, maybe you should contemplate the slander, libel and defamation laws in that count...

Has anyone ever tried putting a circle around a letter or a number in a plot title? For instance, if I have a plot title "Scatterplot for Subject 24", I want to put a circle around 24 to distinguish that plot from the other 30 I've generated. Any tips or ideas beyond plotting a circle in the margin? Benjamin Benjamin Nutter | Biostatistician | Quantitative Health

Has anyone attempted to run Rails inside of JRuby? Is that even possible? Aside from the performance implications, is it a bad idea? I''m thinking that it might be useful in very rare cases where a Ruby/Rails - equivalent of a Java solution may not exist yet. Any thoughts? Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

In another thread on this list, various wild allegations have been made, relating to the New York Times article on R. I object both to the subject line and to the content of several of the messages, and will not repeat or quote any of that content. It smacks to me of mischief making. Discussion has centered around the following quote from the NY Times article: ?According to them, the

Received this link from a regular email blast, it may interest some of you. I guess RoR is starting to gain more traction :-) http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/techarticle/dm-0606dumbill/?ca=dnw-723 Cheers Mohit.

Hey guys, We''ve been talking about the multi-byte patch and I think it''s time to get feedback from you guys on a possible way forward. We can include ActiveSupport::Multibyte with rails 1.2, and update all of the relevant helpers to use the String#chars proxy. This will mean that none of the action view helpers will mangle multibyte strings. Similarly, if any Strings are being

Hello community, I''m new to rubyonrails and to this Forum. I have to call 2 Fields, generated by ruby, from a javafunction (onSubmit) but when I use this example it didn''t work, why? <%= start_form_tag({:action=> "show"}, { :onSubmit =>"post[testfieldone].value=examplefunction(post[textfieldtwo].value+post[textfieldthree].value);" }) %>

IBM is looking for a student with LLVM expertise for a research project on optimizations for Cell. They have been in discussions with Michel to use the Cell back end for LLVM being developed at Aerospace, though I don't know if a final decision was reached on that (any news, Michel?). The goal of this work is to add new (LLVM-level and/or back- end-level) optimizations targeted at

I''m trying to figure out how Ruby in general, and/or anything extra Rails may have, can talk to Java APIs of third party server apps. After quite a few search attempts net-wide and on ruby forums, and with "Programming Ruby" in hand, I''m coming up with zilch. Either I''m not finding it, or I''m not recognizing it. I''m assuming there has

I'm in the middle of my own little intellectual exercise comparing dcast() and reshape() and have successfully stumped myself. I want to melt() a data frame, then dcast() it into a new form. After doing so, I want to duplicate the process using reshape(). So far, I can do the melt and cast require(reshape2) Raw <- data.frame(site = c(1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2), id =

All, Just musing about this whole FastCGI thing (that I hadn''t even thought of since 1999 when looking at OpenMarket for a customer and even then it was "old"), and wondering when we might see projects/products that attempt to provide Ruby application services in a J2EE-like container. I see the Cerise project - any interesting information on that? I''m assuming

Last week I posted a question about monitoring Rails applications. Basically, the java folks at my business cited one of their reasons for sticking with Java is it''s monitoring tools. After picking some ears, I found out that the one we''re looking at most is JBoss Operations Network. And I have to say, it''s pretty neat.
