Hi everyone, I'm Chris Wanstrath.
When Jeremy asked me to come talk, I said yes. Hell yes. Immediately. But
then I took a few moments and thought, Wait, why? Why me? What am I supposed
to say that's interesting? Something about Ruby, perhaps. Maybe the
future of it. The future of something, at least. That sounds
keynote-y.

Register Cocoa app for a custom URL scheme
Here is what you need to do to register your app for a custom URL scheme (for the example we will use a "myapp" scheme).
1) In your Info.plist, add a new entry for CFBundleURLTypes: <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key> <array> <dict> <key>CFBundleURLName</key> <string>MyApp's URL</string> <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key> <array> <string>myapp</string> </array> </dict> </array>
2) Somewhere in your application's startup code (e.g. init), add this code: - (void)registerMyApp { [[NSAppleEventManager sharedAppleEventManager] setEventHandler:self andSelector:@selector(getUrl:withReplyEvent:) forEventClass:kInternetEventClass andEventID:kAEGetURL]; }
- (void)getUrl:(NSAppleEventDescriptor )event withReplyEvent:(NSAppleEventDescriptor )replyEvent { NSString url = [[event paramDescriptorForKeyword:keyDirectObject] stringValue]; // Now you can parse the URL and perform whatever action is needed }

Sketch of proposal for Ember.JSONSerializer.serializeBelongsTo, handling async and polymorphic belongsTo, hasMany
# The idea is that (even for an async relationship) we have available either
# the related object, or the as-of-yet not unserialized reference to that
# object. In the latter case, we can use directly.
#
# This avoids possible generation of more server requests for related
# objects while saving a given object.

# Issues:

On the Viability of Erlang Releases and CouchDB

There has been some discussion on what versions of Erlang CouchDB should support, and what versions of Erlang are detrimental to use. Sadly there were some pretty substantial problems in the R15 line and even parts of R16 that are landmines for CouchDB. This post will describe the current state of things and make some potential recommendations on approach.
