Greetings all, I''m sure there is probably a very obvious reason for the following problem. However, after much hair pulling, I am just not seeing it yet. As you can see from the trace below, I am not able to complete scaffold generation due to some problem between rails and mysql. I double checked MySQL to make sure both my Ruby user and Root user have full rights to the database.

I am using CSV in a rake task (db:seed) on Rails 3.0.3, Ruby 1.9.2 to read a file with some funny chars in it. Upon breaking in at a point where the row read using CSV is in variable row, with the string with the char in row[''price''] I get the following strange results which I cannot understand. (rdb:1) row[''price''] "\xA32.00" (rdb:1)

Greetings all. I''m using the Microsoft "NorthWind Traders" database "orders" table as test data for the Rico LiveGrid JavaScript. The problem I''m noticing is that some of the records in the "ShipName" field contain ampersands -- which for some reason are not being escaped by Rails. Rails does in fact automatically escape all of the other

Hello all, Hoping someone can help me out here. I''ve burned almost a week trying to figure out how to decrypt an image file that has been encrypted using Blowfish CBC. I found some code on the net and have modified as follows: require ''openssl'' require ''digest/sha1'' ivArr = [0x0D, 0x0E, 0x0A, 0x0D, 0x0F, 0x0A, 0x0C, 0x0E ]

I am having difficulty with the calculation of the power law exponent for set of nodes within a graph. Specifically, I am interested in the distribution of in-degree and out-degree among communities of web pages where the web pages are the nodes of the graph and the hyperlinks the edges. According to the literature, the distribution of incoming and outgoing links obeys a power law distribution

Greetings, I''m trying to make a simple logging application that just displays the last few rows of information in the log. In order to do this, I am trying to use the ":offset" option for find. However, I am not getting the results I expect. For testing purposes, the query is being run against a table (MySQL) that contains 11 records. According to the RoR documentation,

Hi all I recently started to write a matrix exponentiation operator for R (by adding a new operator definition to names.c, and adding the following code to arrays.c). It is not finished yet, but I would like to solicit some comments, as there are a few areas of R's internals that I am still feeling my way around. Firstly: 1) Would there be interest in adding a new operator %^% that performs

Hi, I know there's been some talk about bignums already, this is similar to it, but not exactly the same. I'm currently using LLVM for my master thesis. The goal is to make a compiler for zero-knowledge proofs of knowledge protocols. This compiler should target embedded devices. There's a language called the protocol implementation language in which these protocols should be

I sent this to the author of geoip a few days ago and haven''t heard back, yet. Since he may be on vacation or busy, somebody may also hit this problem in the mean time, I figured I''d post the patch + git repo I sent him here. Unicorn users: The pread(2)/pwrite(2) syscalls are very useful for making libraries like this one (that rely on an on-disk database) compatible with

Is there anything in the utils to capture a screen ( or maybe just a window) and save to a file.

I am attempting to write a FrontBase activerecord adaptor. I''m down to only two unit tests failing, and one of them is binary_test.rb. I can''t figure out the logic of binary to string conversion.

Hello everyone, I''m scraping a lot of sites for a project, and occasionally the scraped content will have "malformed UTF-8" characters. When the scraped content is processed (basically a database record is created), these characters often don''t appear as they''re supposed to. Normally, the following code works great: str.unpack("U*").collect {|s| (s
