similar to: another entropy coder that might be very useful

I''m trying to collect media references (URLs) to articles, podcasts, and videos about Ruby and Ruby on Rails, like this month''s Linux Journal ( http://www.linuxjournal.com/issue/147) or the recent DDJ article ( http://www.ddj.com/dept/architect/187203512). If have such a collections yourself (or just know of some good references), could you please share them on this thread.

Hi, I''ve read that Dr. Dobbs Journal''s last issue has a cover article about Rails titled "Ruby On Rails - Java''s Successor?". Can''t find anything about it in http://www.ddj.com Does someone have the paper edition and can confirm that, and tell how the article looks like, and so on. Thanks, -- Jean-Fran?ois. -- ? la renverse.

Dear List, There's been some recent discussion on the list about benchmarks. I just read a Dr. Dobbs article on the relative runtime performance of various compilers (8 of them compared) on Intel platforms. The test focused on mainly template type things but offers Dhrystone and zlib for comparisons. There's no clear winner as all compilers perform well in some areas and poorly in

Hello, I am a computer engineering student and compression hobbyst and have recently developed a new entropy coding algorithm. It can be used to achieve compression proper of arithmetic coders at very high speeds -almost like Huffman codecs-. Since it could be of interest to you, I send it as an attachment -code and technical report-. Please, drop me a line in case you have any doubt or

Now, beyond discussions regarding the legitimacy of such a ruling (whether they have the legal, moral or whatever right to enforce it), there's the technical aspect. Suppose i provide VoIP services using Asterisk, and i fall under the incidence of the FCC ruling

I just read on Slashdot (at http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/12/16/222243 ) that Trixbox "has been phoning home with statistics about their installations", as a Trixbox user exposed in "Trixbox Phones Home" at http://www.trixbox.org/forums/trixbox-forums/open-discussion/trixbox-phones-home . -- (C) Matthew Rubenstein

Hi all, I have a machine running Samba (2.0.5a/Solaris 7) which is supposed to be the master browser from my domain. It's been running fine for a couple of weeks. But today it seems that some of the NT workstations are overriding it in elections and are becoming the master browsers (and the Samba server is giving up). I've SIGKILL'ed the nmbd processes, but after they wake up they

Hi all, How does this look as a potential FFI for our theoretical Ruby++ ? I''m not sure how to do mixins, though. Some sort of special directive? Or just add it to inheritance chain? Anyway, this is just a rough prototype. No attempt at an actual implementation yet. Regards, Dan // foo.h - Function prototypes #define _FOO_H_ using namespace ruby; // Subclass Object class Foo :

This is probably more a Ruby question, but somebody here probably knows ;). Is there some handy Ruby or Rails library that can get data from other sites (like Amazon and Flickr) via REST, then return it in nice arrays, hashes, objects, etc.? I''ve searched quite a bit and haven''t been able to really find anything. There is a ruby-amazon library, but it''s for an older

Before I get flamed, I just want to start off by saying that I am new to Ruby and I really enjoy this language and want to see it succeed. But, what niche does this language fill? These are serious question, not a put down of the language. Does it has something to offer for Web 2.0? Is it just another scripting language? Does it suppose to replace something else? Does it suppose to work with

I see about 7 different R packages for multi-process parallel programming. Which do you think is the best, most complete, and most robust to pick for general purpose Erlang-style message-passing programming in R, and why? First here's my use case, and then my analysis so far. I often have code whose basic organization looks something like this: 1. Fetch step: For each date, gather up or
