Ruby on Snails
I''ve been reading, hearing, and looking at blogs that state Ruby on Rails is rather slow. Coming from a VB 6 world (thank you Microsoft for killing VB because VB.NET is NOT VB) I was always told that VB was a toy or too slow. Now, I''ll easily tell you that yes VB was not a great language. It had it''s share of warts, like a lot of other languages I might add, but

FCGI hanging w/ lighttpd and RoR 1.0 (need to kill -9)
Hi, everyone, I''m currently running a Rails 1.0 project using lighttpd-1.4.9 behind Apache 2 on RHEL 3. My fcgi process (I''m only using one right now) always hangs after some time, which is something I haven''t experienced before (e.g., I''ve run this same app. on a TextDrive account and it works fine there). So ... any ideas on what could be causing this?

Another ? about Speex and CPU
Hello, I am interested to use Speex but need to know If I can use it under our project's constraint. We need to use a low cost micro controller on a very small PCB. This means there's no space for an external DSP unit. Can someone tell me if using an AVR32 (Atmel uc) which has a floating point calculation unit and DSP instruction set and running at ~50Mhz for a narrow band

Radrails - Quick (if misplaced?) question...
My apologies if this is the wrong place for this but...it should be really simple. When I use a Generator in Radrails, nothing happens. I (believe) I have properly set the path to Ruby and still nothing. And, it doesn''t seem there is an error log to further diagnose what is happening. I am using 0.5.3 on Windows. Am I missing something obvious? As a P.S., is anyone particularly fond of

Bugtracker to use with Asterisk?
Hello Now that I have my first IVR up and running, I'd like to have Asterisk create tickets in a bug tracker every time a call comes in. It's a nice way to know who's calling and why, before following up on the cause for the call. There are tons of bugtracking apps out there. Do you know of some that I should look at? Ideally, the interface shouldn't be much busier than JoS

SVN vs DVCS
Hi, Just wondering whether anyone had thought about moving the R sources to a "distributed" version control system such as Bazaar, Git or Mercurial. These new generation systems make it easier to work on feature branches, allow working offline, are very fast, etc. Some projects that have moved to Git are Linux Kernel Perl Ruby on Rails ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software)

Another ? about Speex and CPU
Yes, it does and thanks for the fast answer! The AVR32 runs at same speed but has a built in floating point unit for float calcs and a DSP instruction Set. But If I use the fixed point version I guess it doesn't change anything then. So another question: - Is there a difference of performance/quality between the floating point and the fixed point? Actually, what's the main

Another ? about Speex and CPU
I don't know the AVR32 chip. However for an ARM7TDMI running at 50 MHz, assuming a good compiler and some hand-coded assembly, you would be very close to the achievable limit (couldn't say on which side). So if your AVR32 is faster than an ARM7TDMI, it's likely achievable. If it's slower, then it's likely not achievable. Hope that helps, Jean-Marc On 12-02-29 10:21 PM,

Whats the big deal with UTF-8?
Hi, could someone please explain what the significance/importance of UTF-8 is, and why you would need it in an application? I''ve done a lot of web developing and i''ve never needed to know what it is. I hope i''ve not been missing something very important!! Thanks, Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
