jmglov: August 2010
http://jmglov.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 13, 2010. Test Driven Development by Example, in Ruby. I have long been interested in the Ruby programming language. Luckily for me, I've just gotten a job which requires me to write code in Ruby, meaning that I finally have to learn Ruby properly. The hardest part of learning a new language for me is finding an interesting and somewhat challenging problem to work on with the new language. Little exercises like the Towers of Hanoi. Or the Fibonacci sequence. 5 10 CHF = $10 if rate is 2:1.

http://jmglov.blogspot.com/2011/04/ruby-light-6.html
Wednesday, April 06, 2011. This is the most complicated bit of meta-programming in Ruby Light so far. Johan and I cooked it up; the beautiful plumbing is his, the basis of the. Rebinding trick is mine. The intent is as follows: for each request to a Rails controller, redirect unless all of the URL query parameters you get are valid. And this is how it actually works:. When Rails loads the. Module, resulting in it getting the. Class methods and the. Redirect if unknown params. Instance methods (et al.).

Directory from the Release build configuration, and added.

Wednesday, March 11, 2009. How Long Must We Sing This Song? From the New York Times.

That's the bad news. The good news (or at least, better news), is this (from the same article.

http://jmglov.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 30, 2009. Essays in Idleness 01: Singularities and Data Storage. I posit the following theorem: that cosmic phenomena that have one or more attributes that are infinite (or approaching infinity quickly enough to be considered effectively infinite) resist direct observation. Now what if I want to make observations about one or more characteristics of the matter? Say, I want to write down a simple binary value (i.e. true or false) that represents whether each particle of matter is a b...So le...
