Hi guys :-) Just a note to let you know that today we launched Slideshare ( slideshare.net) into open beta. It''s a powerpoint-sharing tool (with a twist) and the app is served with Mongrel. A teaser on techcrunch: http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/10/04/introducing-slideshare-power-point-youtube/ Zed, a huge thanks for developing this server. If anybody needs pointers on using Mongrel in a high-volume deployment situation, watch blog.slideshare.net. I''ll have a few posts up soon. Take care all Thank...

Hi folks, I was just looking at this page: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/06/09/demo-firefox-35-treats-videos-like-web-pages-why-cant-flash-do-that/ It says there: "links and other interactive elements can easily be placed inside videos."

Hello all. I too found out that I sometimes have some action that can take up to 10 seconds in my rails application. I''ve read all arguments Zed made about polling/and inbox strategies, and I think I just can''t work around my feeling that a "wrong" request that takes up too much time should be able to lock subsequent requests in mongrels queue. That''s what

Given the use of random salts, you would have to generate (number of possible salts) rainbow tables. This drastically changes the CPU/storage tradeoffs. >

Hi all, Now that we're on GitHub, we can discuss about pull-requests. I'd like to propose to enable pull-request on GitHub, as a first step as an experimental channel alongside the existing methods for contributing to LLVM. This would allow to find workflow issues and address them, and also LLVM contributors in general to start getting familiar with pull-requests without committing to

A search of this forum for "cloud" brought up a pretty anemic and mostly year or more old list of stuff. That was a bit of a surprise to me. I''m interested in getting opinions on the easiest way to deploy a Rails app to a well known (S3 or similar) "cloud" server. It should be something with little or no "installation" or "establishment" fees and

Ok, Rails has been out for some time now. I''ve kept an eye on it pretty closely. I''ve heard Basecamp, Robot Coop, 43 Things, etc. are running on it. However, those have been the same apps people point to when the dreaded scalability question comes up. Are there any new web apps (large scale) in Rails or is it still the same old one? Something like on the scale of
