Ruby 2.0 still has the GIL so if you want to run a threaded web server you'll still need to be using rubinius or jruby.

I think he means something like http://compass-style.org.

jRuby was accepted: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2012/jruby

He did: http://homakov.blogspot.com/2012/03/egor-stop-hacking-gh.htm...

I think it's a mass assignment vulnerability:

https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/5228

You can see a list of vulnerable versions of languages and fixes here:

http://www.ocert.org/advisories/ocert-2011-003.html

jruby 1.6.5.1 was released to fix this:

http://jruby.org/2011/12/27/jruby-1-6-5-1.html

Go to https://s3.amazonaws.com/ld48/ld22/index.html to play the game (he updates it periodically as he's working on it).

Does this mean they will be in verizon stores tomorrow or is this only for ordering online?

Is this why the galaxy nexus was delayed for so long?

If you are a rails user and want your form helpers to spit out the bootstrap form markup check out:

Also, if you are a simple_form user then check out:

Actually, if you read through that issue there is a different patch that got accepted instead of xavier's that has similar performance improvements:

I've had good experiences with several jruby on rails apps under tomcat using warbler and they all seem to perform fine with config.threadsafe! enabled. You should probably investigate those stacktraces, maybe they were caused by unthreadsafe gems or application code?

Rails is threadsafe if you turn it on by uncommenting config.threadsafe! in your environment initializer.

And for rubyists:

Just so everyone knows, Game of Thrones is based off of the first book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Song_of_Ice_and_Fire

So if you like the tv show you'll probably love the books.

Does this problem exist in jruby and rubinius as well?

Root domain support for elastic load balancers is huge. I've been having to redirect from a separate host totally defeating the purpose of the elastic load balancer in the first place. Now all they need is a damn gui for route 53 dns. The "official" xml config file fed into perl script is a huge bummer.

Check out these new features amazon is adding to route 53 (it's dns hosting service):

It's basically adding the ability to specify round robin and different weights to elastic load balancing groups. That should make it easier to have multiple elastic load balancing groups in different regions.
