Libra.se 6.4
torsdag 2007-10-04
6.4 är framskjuten till mitten av november, men jag har inte fått något datum. Jag kommer att höra av mig så fort jag vet något mer eller ett exakt datum så vi kan planera för det och beställa IT-tekniker där så behövs. Vårat önskemål är att det ska ske från kl 17 och framåt en månd, tisd, onsd eller torsd. Det tar ca 3-4 timmar har teknikerna på Axiell meddelat. Sen behöver vi hämta hem klienten, med eller utan hjälp av tekniker morgonen därpå. Anledningen till att det blir senare än det först meddelades beror på att vi får en senare version av 6.4:an med fler buggar rättade och med högre prestanda. Annars hade vi fåt göra 2 uppgraderingar under loppet av 2 månader vilket käns onödigt och opraktiskt.

Headius: Q/A: What Thread-safe Rails Means |
reply |
Quote Rails | |
Throwing a few mutex around loggers and database connections is only part of the battle, there are undoubtedly plenty of race conditions with ActiveRecord since with it's lack of an identity map and optimistic locking. Beyond that, Rails requests do not operate transactionally on the db side. To perform an atomic increment on an activerecord model's column naturally (model.column += 1) and having it behave correctly is a long way from happening. Rails applications generally don't even have error handling code for cases where there is an aborted transaction due to deadlocks (an expected condition in a transactionally sound system), nevermind actually implementing it correctly to re-run the unit of work. The only reason they get away with it is that most apps running Rails don't give a damn about data consistency, and hence, don't use multi-statement transactions, and hence, don't take out many locks at once, and hence, don't deadlock.
I agree with this comment. It can't be easy to make Rails thread-safe.

Goodbye Blogging, Hello Social Web?
With both of the big players extending their traditional blogging platforms to offer social networking features, you have to wonder if traditional blogging is on its way out. For many years, web pundits have been saying that social networking would gain in popularity to such an extent that it would become a feature, not a destination in and of itself. These latest designs from MT and WordPress seem to prove that point.The Next Social Networks Will Be Powered By WordPress and Movable Type - ReadWriteWeb

The OAuth protocol enables websites or applications (Consumers) to access Protected Resources from a web service (Service Provider) via an API, without requiring Users to disclose their Service Provider credentials to the Consumers. More generally, OAuth creates a freely-implementable and generic methodology for API authentication.
Beijing Olympic Games |
reply |
Last night, I watched the grand opening of the Beijing Olympics. However, I cannot really say whether the opening was great or not because I have no other Olympic game openings to compare to. I did watch 2004 Athens Olympics, but I missed the opening that year. So as a person who has only watched the opening of Beijing Olympics, I would say the opening was 'hilarious'. Why? Yeah, I would say that many performances were interesting, but weren't they really funny with sooo many people? I don't mean to degrade the time and efforts of the participants, but it seemed that China only wanted to emphasize their population!(haha)
Anyways, I watched the entire parade of countries entering the stadium. It was worth watching with the two commenter's funny comments about each of the countries....and because of the uniforms!!! I mean I always thought that athletes would only wear formal suits, but looking at them in various attires, I was very impressed. One country that I remember was Rumania, and they were wearing that beautiful light blue jackets!(this could be wrong, though. I am not sure)
We are only on our first day of Olympics and we still have more than 2 weeks to go. I really hope nothing bad happens and wish for the best luck for our athletes in Beijing!
