Just a quick clipboard slip/slurp I put together because I didn't find anything similar, don't know if it's useful for anyone but found it invaluable when getting large strings being returned from the repl and sticking the result in an editor for more car

(.getSystemClipboard (java.awt.Toolkit/getDefaultToolkit)))

(try
(.getTransferData (.getContents (get-clipboard) nil) (java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor/stringFlavor))

(.setContents (get-clipboard) (java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection. text) nil))

Guide to using drip with JRuby

#Overview drip is an awesome command line tool that can be used to dramatically lower perceived JVM startup time. It does this by preloading an entirely new JVM process\instance and allowing you to simply use the preloaded environment. This has extraordinary results with jruby.

We reduced time to run rake environment from 13 seconds to a mere 3.5 seconds. This is actually at or near MRI 1.9.3p327 (with falcon patch) speeds!

Adding a few addition jruby options will reduce startup time even further (down to 1.69 seconds).

#Install Drip Install drip if you haven't already (see https://github.com/flatland/drip)

Adding nodes to a ZooKeeper ensemble

Adding 2 nodes to an existing 3-node ZooKeeper ensemble without losing the Quorum

Since many deployments may start out with 3 nodes and so little is known about how to grow a cluster from 3 memebrs to 5 members without losing the existing Quorum, here is an example of how this might be achieved.

In this example, all 5 nodes will be running on the same Vagrant host for the purpose of illustration, running on distinct configurations (ports and data directories) without the actual load of clients.

YMMV. Caveat usufructuarius.

Step 1: Have a healthy 3-node ensemble

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"

#!/bin/sh

exec <"$0" || exit; read v; read v; read v; exec /usr/bin/osascript - "$@" "$stdinmsg"; exit
-- another way of waiting until an app is running
on waitUntilRunning(appname, delaytime)
repeat until my appIsRunning(appname)
tell application "Messages" to close window 1
delay delaytime
end repeat
