Rails compatible JS datepicker -- beta
hi all, I''ve built a simple javascript datepicker for use with Rails. I''m sure others exist, but think this one is quite decent without being overengineered. http://projects.exactlyoneturtle.com/date_picker/ At present there''s no Rails HTML generator method for it; later I will package it in a script/generator, but for now it is quite easy to use with Rails and doesn''t require much HTML in the page; it does not contaminate para...

belongs_to causing endless loop on first call to save!
Hi, I have a situation I''m hoping someone out there may be able to shed some light on. I have a Rails app (2.1.0 on Ruby 1.8.7) with a wizard-based sign up process, that has recently been changed from storing incremental data in the database to having a medium sized object graph living in the user session until the user completes the entire sign up process (this is a business

adwantages of ogg container?
Hallo all, euphoria with cheese, the project i working on, i needed to make decision about codecs and containers we use. I'm clearly not expert in this. After the euphoria about vp8/webm going slowly to the end, i see advantages what theora has against vp8. Seems like theora perform better on LoEnd hardware. Even x264 with good optimisation work not really good on slow Athom. My question to

Easy way to debug code
Hi, Trying to write a generic function to deal with either arrays or strings. Here''s a cutdown version of what I''m writing highlighting the problem I have. All i''m trying to do is take ''server1.testing.com'' from the variable $server (the variable being either a string or an array) and assign it to $bar, or assign

[PATCH] initramfs: CPIO unpacking fix
Unlink files, symlinks, FIFOs, devices etc. (except directories) before writing them when extracting CPIOs. This stops weird behaviour like: 1) writing through symlinks created in earlier CPIOs. eg foo->bar in the first CPIO. Having foo as a non-link in a subsequent CPIO, results in bar being written and foo remaining as a symlink. 2) if the first version of file foo is larger

Asking hard questions about the NUT architecture
...ng your UPS initiate a controlled shutdown N seconds beforehand? I sure don't see enough of one to justify a multi-layer architecture involving three concurrent processes, four configuration files, and a partridge in a pear tree. NUT, as it is now, seems to me to be a textbook case of massive overengineering and overkill based on outdated assumptions. One possible reply is that filesystem hardening sometimes fails. But that objection implies the right solution, which is to fix the filesystem hardening rather than messing around with compensatory kludges in userspace. At modern disk-write speeds t...

adwantages of ogg container?
...media-over-stream-of-media preferences; I'm thinking this could explain much of its current market value I'm certain I've left out a *ton* of points, so do continue with the topic. I mean, the reason I responded in the first place is that I personally have the tendency to *really* overengineer stuff, which would make me a Matroska lover, yet then I have a persistent bad feeling about that tendency because that's "not the internet way". I would *love* to learn about some further/finer points, and of course counterpoint. -- Sampo Syreeni, aka decoy - decoy at iki.fi, http...

Type development for the rest of us
Since I had my type development epiphany a couple of days ago, I''ve decided to write down my understanding of developing simple types, at http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PracticalTypes. I''d appreciate comments from people who already know how to develop types as to correctness, and also comments from people who are new to type development about whether it''s a
