I realize that I can do a.to_s == b.to_s but I'd like to know if there's some other, better way. Edit: The question originally had a typo and said a.to_s and b.to_s which was edited after parsenome pointed out...

I have a couple questions about Ruby's methods, procedures, and blocks that strike me as rather odd. They're not so much about syntax or function as the logic behind the decisions made. Question 1: Why is it that blocks can be passed to methods (e.g. each) but they cannot be assigned to a variable? I know you can pass them around in ...

Django signals can be created anywhere, triggered anywhere and handled anywhere. The model lifecycle callbacks are just regular signals that happen ...

I prefer not to use javascript for this one, is there another way? Creating a button via button_to or form_tag ends up adding a new blank row in the database when it is clicked. Thanks! Shay. ...

All the instructions I found on the net about installing ruby on ubuntu have involved using the prepackaged (.deb-based) ruby. Clearly this isn't what the r...
