An ActiveRecord conundrum

I'm going to describe a weird problem I faced when using ActiveRecord today. To protect the innocent, I'm not going to talk about the app I'm actually working on but will instead discuss a hypothetical but isomorphic database design for a clone of the popular blogging platform Tumblr.

Tumblr lets you publish various different sorts of content. We might be tempted to shove all these types in a big STI table, but the types are all quite different from one another and so we give them their own tables.

require 'nokogiri'

class Html2Md
  class Link < Struct.new(:href, :title)
  end

  class Format < Struct.new(:name, :head, :body, :opened)
  end

Usable accent marks on MacOS Lion and above (including Yosemite!)

Since Mac OS Lion, default "press and hold" of keyboard keys brings an easy access to accents and special characters:

However, who designed the order of elements in these lists is CLEARLY NOT using them with enough frequency*. Depending with what vowel you invoke this tool, the order of diacritical mark is different:

a à á â ä æ ã å ā

# This is a Rubinius AST Transform that implements a `memoization` keyword to
# be put before method definitions.
#
# Inspired by José Valim's talk at RuPy 2011.
#
# __KNOWN CAVEATS__: It doesn't reset the cache when changing arguments (it just
# memoizes the first call and returns that value forever more).
#
# Any ideas to make it work better? :D
