We''re developing a system that''s used for tracking company IPO data and we''re running into a few number storage issues. For large numbers, i.e. numbers greater than 100 million, MySQL insists on storing these as scientific notation. I don''t really have a problem with that but when we want to edit these fields using something like: <% form_for(@company) do

I have been using Locomotive for rails development and recently decided to fix up the ruby/rails install that is on my mac. As we all know, Ruby 1.8.2 came on the mac and has problems, so I followed the instructions at Hivelogic for installing the latest versions of Ruby, Rails, Lighttpd and so forth. I have this set in my path within bash_login: export

I have understood correctly when thinking that all I need to do in order to restore mails, is to just copy the old maildir folder to the location where mail_location is pointing to and dovecot will find all the mails and display the old mails?

Hi there, I have an idea for a game I want to build, but it requires Flash as the presentation layer (I''d want to do the back end in Ruby running on Rails.) I have not been able to find any info on the integration of the two, and someone suggested asking here. Any info would be appreciated. Any links to examples would be great too. Thanks - please make sure you respond to me directly

Apologies if this has been discussed before, but with the search function down its hard to find out if it has The first Agile book recommended using the automatically assigned row id of an object as a foreign key reference, as rails would automatically interpret the attribute (for example) product_id as the table ''product'' and row ''id''.

Hi, I'm trying to estimate a (parametric) competing risks model in the context of duration (or survival, if you wish) analysis. That is, instead of studying the transition of subjects to "death", I wish to study the transitions to multiple *destinations* (which is different from studying multiple *durations*, or recurrent events). I am more interested in the hazard function rather

I''ve used the Slicehost Intrepid instructions (http:// articles.slicehost.com/ubuntu-intrepid) to install a new Ubuntu server with Ruby, Rails and passenger. Everything seems to be working OK, save for one thing: my application only service up the files that are in its public folder. The Passenger gem is installed. I''ve done this whole process before without any problem. Any

Hi, I was wondering if 256MB of RAM is enough to run a ruby on rails server and mysql server. My application does not do any complex queries, but it does deal with quite a lot of data (potentially tables as large as 100MB). The number of concurrent users should be low, never more than 10. Currently I''m serving RoR using Lighttpd via fastcgi. The only thing I''ve changed from the

After a bad experience trying to get even the simplest Rails application running at Lunarpages, I''m moving to Slicehost. Does anyone have an opinion as to which of their Linux distros to use for a fairly high-traffic Rails site? They offer CentOS, Debian 5, Fedora (10 to 12), Gentoo, Red Hat EL 5, and Ubuntu (8 and 9). While we''re on the subject, does anyone have any opinions as

Hi, I tried PDF writer , but it doesn''t have HTML to PDF Converter. Infact it is a PDF writer itself not a converter.. I''ve HTML pages with rich css or Strings with html+css such that they are converted to PDF. The idea is that web is all about RGB color model and when it comes to Digital Printing its all CMYK color model. My html page with rich css in

I am wondering if it would be possible (and safe) to develop online banking or other security-related applications with Ruby on Rails, instead of using J2EE frameworks or .NET? Are there any particular implications needed to write e-banking apps with Rails? Security problems? So... is anyone developing these types of applications with RoR? Any advantage or disadvantage? Personal experiences are

Hi there. Is it possible to have different sip users have the same CallerId number in sip.conf. I need this because we got multiple companies on this Asterisk box.

Hi I''m using princexml pdf generation in one of our apps and bump into this very weird problem. On our ubuntu box and local machines (MacBook Pro) pdfs are generated flawlessly.

The following sections give back nil values in

Dear all, S+Finmetrics has a number of very specilised functions. I am particularly interested in the estimation of cointegrated VARs (chapter 12 of Zivot and Wang). In this context the functions coint() and VECM() stand out. I looked at package "dse1", but found no comparable functionality. Are there any other packages you could point me to? In general, are there efforts for

I''ve checked the source code of image_tag, and couldn''t find any solution. The ???? is appended to the "source" parameter before it goes to the real
