Example: link checker 1. I write a blog post with links represented by Link objects. I publish the post. 2. ...

I'm taking 5 strings (protocol, source IP and port, destination IP and port) and using them to store some values in a hash. The problem is that if the IPs or ports are switched between source and destination, the key is supposed to be the same. If I was doing this in C#/Java/whatever I'd have to create a new class and overwrite the hash...

Is there any way that I could do this with an if..end block inside of the hash definition. For example, I would be wanti...

I have built a pretty simple REST service in Sinatra, on Rack. It's backed by 3 Tokyo Cabinet/Table datastores, which have connections that need to be opened and closed. I have two model classes written in straight Ruby that currently simply connect, get or put what they need, and then disconnect. Obviously, this isn't going to work long...

Using Sinatra in Ruby you can set the server's settings by doing: set :myvariable, "MyValue" and then access it anywhere in templates etc with settings.myvariable. In my script I need to be able to re-set these variables falling back to a bunch of defaults. I figured the easiest way to do this would be to have a function that perform...

Right now, I'm doing it via: base = File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "..", "vendor", "gems", "gems")) libs = File.join(base, "**", "lib") Dir.glob(libs) { |lib| $LOAD_PATH.unshift lib} I'm sure...
