Runit for Ruby (And Everything Else). System is a process supervisor and set of utilities surrounding supervising processes. It can be used as a sysvinit replacement or run side-by-side with many init systems to maintain supervised process heirarchies. We began using runit as a replacement for daemontools in November 2001, because runit was OSI licensed at the time (daemontools was not) and for the extensive documentation offerred for runit utilities (including manpages). By default, which. Bin/sh exec s...

Ebeats Competition Leaderboard scj Killing It

http://rubyists.github.io/2011/04/11/ebeats-implementations-competition-scj-owns.html

Ebeats Competition Leaderboard scj Killing It. Scj is claiming victory early in the Ebeats Competition. As his lead is (his words) insurmountable now. He’s implemented ebeats in everything from prolog to postscript, and he spits on the idea of anyone catching his couple-dozen implementation lead. Keep in mind once this competition is over the next will begin. Perhaps it will be golfing, perhaps something more (or less) interesting. Keep on the lookout; one thing is certain, the bounty will raise.

TinyCDR now public

http://rubyists.github.io/2010/08/25/tinycdr-now-public.html

A small internal project we’d used for raw storage of FreeSWITCH CDR data has now been resurrected. This iteration adds the logging of the full XML posted by FreeSWITCH into a couchdb data source, with a link to the id of the couch record stored in the postgres (or other Sequel-supported database) record. We’ll be adding reporting over the next week or so, time for ideas is now. Check our github project. 2011 The Rubyists, LLC.

http://rubyists.github.io/2009/06/24/rack-and-cgi-escape-unescape-performance-boost.html

Rack: Utils and CGI escape and unescape performance boost. As performance boosts are about speed, we’ll start with the benchmarks. Here is a run of spec/bench.rb, from the. Provides these two methods as a C extension, suitable for use on ruby 1.8.6-8 and 1.9.1 ; tested on linux, XP, and Vista. The jruby version uses the java stdlib’s. And URLDecoder.

Freeswitcher 0.4.4 Released, and welcome Harry

http://rubyists.github.io/2009/12/06/freeswitcher-0-4-4-released-and-welcome-harry.html

Freeswitcher 0.4.4 Released, and welcome Harry. This is a fairly minor bugfix (thanks diegoviela) to fix the Playback app. The 0.4.4 should be available via gem. Mostly i’m sorry this blog has been so idle, we’ve been working hard on FSR, FXC, and related components, but much of it on commercial or proprietary projects. In the coming months we’ll be using this knowledge to release applications which enhance the functionality of open source telecom. 2011 The Rubyists, LLC.
