Can Software Updates Be Made Simpler?

Generally speaking, I like Apple’s Software Update mechanism more than I liked Microsoft’s Windows Update. It generally seems less intrusive, runs faster, and has a simpler UI (disclaimer: I’m more familiar with WinXP than Vista; if the Vista experience has made it a lot better, be sure to comment to this post).

slimming down actionpack: ending the pissing match

 

So, in recent days there has been a lot of really stupid drama among Rails and Merb.  I appreciate the addresses of both sides of the issue, and I hope this dialogue and competition continues in this healthy manner.  But my interest was piqued when the question of lines of code came up, and Yehuda offered some metrics.  

Ubuntu 8.10 PPPoE setup

As you may know not all the network parts have installed in Ubuntu by default, e.g PPPoE.

Why develop using Ruby on Rails

Put the fun back into the creative process of application creation with Ruby on Rails. Here are just a few reasons developers are making the move:

lots of work: a new router for rails

So I've been kicking the idea of writing a new router for Rails for a long time.  I started tinkering with web frameworks last year, and decided that I would write a bunch of components that one could assemble or integrate into their own frameworks.  The yield of the primitive work I actually completed was fleet, and my ultimate goal was to build a router that was API-compatible with Rails and could be extracted into its own gem for others to use.  It never got that far, but I did complete most of the work on the router.

Small tip for debugging Javascript in IE

Of course, the key to making this work well is to keep the interfaces between components as small as possible, so that implementing an ActionView lookalike is a matter of implementing just a few methods, not dozens.
