I have joined a rails project as a contractor. The project has been going for more than a year. The code is written by about 10 different developers and most of them are contractors as well. They have different code style. Some of them came from Java. The code has horrible scores with metric_fu. Many functions are very long (100 - 300 li...

Thus, require 'active_support' [1,2,3].to_sentence # gives "1, 2, and 3" [1,2,3].to_sentence(:last_word_connector => ' and ') # gives "1, 2 and 3" it's good that you can change the last word connector, because I prefer not to have the extra comma. but it takes so much extra text: 44 ...
I want to change the default arguments passed to a Ruby function. For example, instead of each time writing [1,2,3].do_stuff(:option => ' my option ') I want to modify the defaults so that I can write [1,2,3].do_stuff What is the simplest, cleanest, most Ruby-like way of changing default parameters? ...
I've got a massive script with about 20 embedded if statements (Yay!) that is used to parse through a data file. And in a sense, that's correct because the script should not continue operating if any of those evaluations fail. But my gut says there's a more elegant way to accomplish the same thing. I'm familiar with the statemachine plu...

I fixed it so it outputs the proper layer, but I cannot figure out how to get it to output the text. I have it to the point where it pops up a message when it comes across a text ...

I'm using DataMapper, an open source ORM for ruby, and I have in itch I would like to scratch. At the moment, DataMapper can use Strategic Eager Loading(SEL) for one-to-many relationships, but not many-to-many, where N+1 queries occur. I would like to hack around with making this work correctly, but I cannot find where to do it. So tw...

Is there a way to tell a running "script/server --debugger" to pause execution and open the debugger prompt (other than sticking a "debugger" statement in my code)? Similar to CTL-C in gdb. I would like to do this, so that I can set a breakpoint in Base.update_attributes without having to put "debugger" in my own function (and having to...
According to Charles Nutter, Duby is a static-typed language with Ruby's syntax and Java's type system. Duby supports all Ruby's literals, uses local type inference (only argument types must be declared), and runs as fast as Java (because it produces nearly identical bytecode). But with the advent of invokedynamic, Duby...
