RESOLVE SHORT URLS before storing. Short URLs are for microblogging; you should never actually keep them around.
require 'net/http'
# WARNING do not use this; it works but is very limited
def resolve url
res = Net::HTTP.get_response URI(url)
if res.code == '301' then res['location']
else url.to_s
end

How Homakov hacked GitHub and how to protect your application by Peter Nixey

##How Homakov hacked GitHub and the line of code that could have prevented it

Please note: THIS ARTICLE IS NOT WRITTEN BY THE GITHUB TEAM or in any way associated with them. It's simply hosted as a Gist because the markdown formatting is excellent and far clearer than anything I could manage on my personal Tumblr at peternixey.com.

Performace patch for ruby-1.9.3-p327

Changes:

  • this version includes backport of Greg Price's patch for speedup startup http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7158 .

    ruby-core prefers his way to do thing, so that I abandon cached-lp and sorted-lf patches of mine.

  • this version integrates 'array as queue' patch, which improves performance when push/shift pattern is heavily used on Array.

    This patch is accepted into trunk for Ruby 2.0 and last possible bug is found by Yui Naruse. It is used in production* for a couple of months without issues even with this bug.
