How I installed GCC ARM on my Mac 10.9 Mac Book Pro
# Download the file manually from here https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded
# Note: `curl` command doesn't work
# I downloaded this one: "gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_7-2013q3-20130916-mac.tar.bz2"
# double click it to unzip it
# Make a place to install it to
mkdir /usr/local/gcc_arm
# Move the unzipped stuff there.

ruby-oci8 + Oracle Instant Client install for Ruby 1.9.3 Probably works fine for other versions of Ruby or instant client too. Install ruby-oci8 + Oracle instant client in < 20 minutes http://thenerdings.blogspot.com/2013/07/install-ruby-oci8-oracle-instant-in-20.html

joegoggins / improving and supporting ruby security.markdown
Last active December 18, 2015 09:39

Premise

Ruby is becoming mainstream and thus the implications of security are much more far reaching. Is there anything the Department of Homeland security can do to help support this community and the hard working open source devs that donate their free-time to keep it secure?

Key Question

How could government funding help improve security of the Ruby ecosystem?

joegoggins / sunspot_solr_wrapper_service.rb
Created August 14, 2012 16:55
Sunspot/Solr/Torquebox service wrapper until https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TORQUE-467 is done. Note: this approach is cheezy and crude, but works...
class SunspotSolrWrapperService
def initialize(opts={})
end
def start
puts "SunspotSolrWrapperService#start"
kill_all_solr_processes
launch_command = "nohup env RAILS_ENV=#{Rails.env} #{solr_process_to_launch} >> #{start_stop_log_file} 2>&1 &"
puts "executing: #{launch_command}"
system(launch_command)
puts "SunspotSolrWrapperService#start (return)"
