For example, here's some matches (each match is separated by a blank line): ... ...hello ... ...hel...
What's the best way to implement a Hash that can be modified across multiple threads, but with the smallest number of locks.

So, as an example say (numbers pulled ou...

How would I need to write my ORM class so that the Project class above is able to act as a subclass of ActiveRe...
Dependency Injection frameworks in Ruby have been pretty much declared unnecessary. Jamis Buck wrote about this last year in his LEGOs, Play-Doh, and Programming blog post. The general accepted alternative seems to be using some degree of constructor injection, but simply supplying defaults. class A end class B def initialize(option...
