ruby-1.9.3-p327 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p327 with various performance improvements and a backported COW-friendly GC, all courtesy of funny-falcon.

Requirements

You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.

Reverse polymorphic associations in Rails

Polymorphic Associations reversed

It's pretty easy to do polymorphic associations in Rails: A Picture can belong to either a BlogPost or an Article. But what if you need the relationship the other way around? A Picture, a Text and a Video can belong to an Article, and that article can find all media by calling @article.media

This example shows how to create an ArticleElement join model that handles the polymorphic relationship. To add fields that are common to all polymorphic models, add fields to the join model.

JVM + Invokedynamic versus CLR + DLR

Too much for teh twitterz :)

JVM + invokedynamic is in a completely different class than CLR + DLR, for the same reasons that JVM is in a different class than CLR to begin with.

CLR can only do its optimization up-front, before executing code. This is a large part of the reason why C# is designed the way it is: methods are non-virtual by default so they can be statically inlined, types can be specified as value-based so their allocation can be elided, and so on. But even with those language features CLR simply cannot optimize code to the level of a good, warmed-up JVM.

The JVM, on the other hand, optimizes and reoptimizes code while it runs. Regardless of whether methods are virtual/interface-dispatched, whether objects are transient, whether exception-handling is used heavily...the JVM sees through the surface and optimizes code appropriate for how it actually runs. This gives it optimization opportunities that CLR will never have without adding a comparable profiling JIT.

So how does this affect dynamic
