Getting a USB device to show up in a Docker container on OS X

Some background

extern mod extra;
use extra::json::*;
/*
* This function manages to do absolutely no copying, which is pretty cool.
*
* "What are all those `'r`s?" you ask. Well, they're liftime parameters. They
* indicate how long something lasts (before it's freed). They can't change how
* long something lives for, they only allow you to tell the compiler stuff it
module Acts
module Cacheable
def self.included(base)
base.extend(ClassMethods)
end
module ClassMethods
def acts_as_cacheable(key, options = {})
extend Acts::Cacheable::SingletonMethods
find(:all, options).each{|instance| cached_objects[instance.send(key).to_s] = instance}
