Ruby 1.9.7 NEWS, nice. And #flatten finally gets a level parameter.
It’s all right, ‘cause I love you
And that’s not gonna change
Run me round, make me hurt again and again
But I’ll still sing you love songs
Written in the letters of your name
And brave the storm to come
For it surely looks like rain
— John Barlow, Looks Like Rain
MagLev recap, by Avi Bryant.
Maglev, Charles Nutter’s take: “They haven’t started running the RubySpecs and have no compatibility story today. You can’t actually get Maglev yet and run anything on it. It’s worse than Vaporware, it’s Presentationware. Go to Gemstone’s site and download Maglev (you can’t). Pull the source (you can’t). Build it yourself and investigate what it does (you can’t). You start to understand what I mean. And this is what the “Ruby media” is calling the most disruptive new Ruby technology. Dudes, come on. Were you born yesterday?”
Defunctionalization and Java, no way around.
Online viewer for PDF, PostScript and Word, “Given a URL on the net or a file on your computer, the viewer will try to retrieve the document, convert it and show it to you. No plugin software is required.” Also does .ps.gz!
8 fonts you probably don’t use in CSS, but should, nice list.
So it goes, we make what we made since the world began
Nothing more, the love of the women, work of men
Seasons round, creatures great and small, up and down, as we rise and fall
