A Common .ruby-version File For Ruby Projects

A Common .ruby-version File For Ruby Projects

Background

I've been using this technique in most of my Ruby projects lately where Ruby versions are required:

  • Create .rbenv-version containing the target Ruby using a definition name defined in ruby-build (example below). These strings are a proper subset of RVM Ruby string names so far...
  • Create .rvmrc (with rvm --create --rvmrc "1.9.3@myapp") and edit the environment_id= line to fetch the Ruby version from .rbenv-version (example below).

Today I learned about another Ruby manager, rbfu, where the author is using a similar technique with .rbfu-version.

Using SQLite to store OpenAI vector embeddings from Ruby
# Example of using SQLite VSS with OpenAI's text embedding API
# from Ruby.
# Note: Install/bundle the sqlite3, sqlite_vss, and ruby-openai gems first
# OPENAI_API_KEY must also be set in the environment
# Other embeddings can be used, but this is the easiest for a quick demo

RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT

RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT

Rails

By default RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT is used only for asset pipeline.

To namespace your rails routes you need to wrap run MyApp::Application with map in your config.ru:

map ENV['RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT'] || "/" do

/*
As of version 1.1.2, Propane will load and execute the contents of
~Library/Application Support/Propane/unsupported/caveatPatchor.js
immediately following the execution of its own enhancer.js file.
You can use this mechanism to add your own customizations to Campfire
in Propane.
Below you'll find two customization examples.

`module.exports =` and ES6 Module Interop in Node.js

module.exports = and ES6 Module Interop in Node.js

The question: how can we use ES6 modules in Node.js, where modules-as-functions is very common? That is, given a future in which V8 supports ES6 modules:

  • How can authors of function-modules convert to ES6 export syntax, without breaking consumers that do require("function-module")()?
  • How can consumers of function-modules use ES6 import syntax, while not demanding that the module author rewrites his code to ES6 export?

@wycats showed me a solution. It involves hooking into the loader API to do some rewriting, and using a distinguished name for the single export.

This is me eating crow for lots of false statements I've made all over Twitter today. Here it goes.
