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

• rbenv
• ruby-build

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.

Instrument Anything in Rails 3

With Rails 3.0 released a few weeks ago I've migrated a few apps and I'm constantly finding useful new improvements. One such improvement is the ability to log anything in the same way that Rails internally logs ActiveRecord and ActionView. By default Rails 3 logs look slightly spiffier than those produced by Rails 2.3: (notice the second line has been cleaned up)

Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at Mon Sep 06 01:07:11 -0400 2010
  Processing by HomeController#index as HTML
  User Load (0.2ms)  SELECT `users`.* FROM `users` WHERE (`users`.`id` = 3) LIMIT 1
  CACHE (0.0ms)  SELECT `users`.* FROM `users` WHERE (`users`.`id` = 3) LIMIT 1

What I believe is the most confusing thing for git beginners is that the main commands have multiple uses depending on the arguments or context, and some of those uses aren't well-described by the command's name.

Merge

• merges together different branches (different histories, to be more exact)
• fast-forwards if a merge isn't necessary; effectively repositioning the branch head to a descendant commit
• unwanted outcome of git pull

How Should We Use Struct?

The Choice

It's common in Ruby to see some code setup a Struct like this:

class Specialized < Struct.new(:whatever)
  # ... define custom methods here...
end
