Comments Powered by Disqus!

Read more I’ve finally hopped aboard the Disqus train. I have to say, the commenting support on tumblr is pretty piss poor. If they were smart, they would just integrate Disqus by default. Its fairly straightforward to get going, on your own, but man, think of the lead gen deal that could have been.
I have a bunch of stuff to blog about, but not until the time is right. In the mean time, why not help me test out my new commenting system? :)

Redis and Rails sitting on the Couch
by Mathias Meyer | over 2 years ago |
Read more I've been spending some quality time with two of my new favorite tools lately (CouchDB and Redis, duh!), and while integrating them into Scalarium some needs and as a result some smaller hacks emerged. I don't want to deprive the world of their joy, so here they are.
First one is a tiny gem that will allow you to use Redis as a session store. What's so special about it, there's redis-store, right? Sure, but I couldn't for the life of me get to work reliably. Seems that's due to some oddity in Rack or something, at least that's where my interest of further investigating the issues faded, and I decided to just rip the code off MemCacheStore, and there you have it, redis-session-store. Rails-only and proud of it.
While working on it I constantly kept a monitor process open on Redis. Great feature by the way, if not awesome. I used telnet, and somehow I constantly managed to hit Ctrl-C in the terminal I had the telnet session open in. Reconnecting manually is tedious, so I give you my little redis-monitor script:
Incredibly simple, but saves those precious moments you'd waste typing everything by hand.
Last but not least, here's a hack-ish patch to make CouchPotato (great CouchDB Ruby library by the way) dump view queries into the log file. The ugly part at the end is me trying to get the log that's output at the end of each request to include the DB time for CouchDB queries.
It's not great, but works for now. We'll very likely include something decent into CouchPotato without hacking into ActionController like that. Unfortunately to get this far, there's really no other way. I tried faking ActiveRecord, but you open a whole other can of worm doing that, because a lot of code in Rails seems to rely on the existance on the ActiveRecord constant, assuming you're using the full AR stack when the constant is defined. Here's hoping that stuff is out the door in Rails 3. Haven't checked to be honest.
Dump that file into an initializer, and you're good to go (for the moment).

by Gabriel Handford | over 2 years ago | Read more“As revised in 1975, Senate Rule 22 seemed to be an improvement: it required 60 senators, not 67, to stop floor debate. But there also came a significant change in de facto Senate practice: to maintain a filibuster, senators no longer had to keep talking. Nowadays, they don’t even have to start; they just say they will, and that’s enough. Senators need not be on the floor at all. They can be at home watching Jimmy Stewart on cable. Senate Rule 22 now exists to cut off what are ghost filibusters, disembodied debates.”
