# This is just an hint for a simple Redis caching "framework" using Sinatra
# A friend of mine asked for something like that, after checking the first two gems realized there was
# a lot of useless complexity (IMHO). That's the result.
#
# The use_cache parameter is useful if you want to cache only if the user is authenticated or
# something like that, so you can do cache_url(ttl,User.logged_in?, ...)

My reply to @marcpeabody's tweet here:

"@marcpeabody: For @mattyoho and you other Inception fanboys - why the movie sucked: http://gist.github.com/501827 #spoileraler" http://twitter.com/marcpeabody/status/19972669611

His claims and my replies:

1. Getting trapped in a dream means going to limbo. You're stuck in limbo forever… or up until you kill yourself - in which case you'll simply wake up in real life. So why was everyone so afraid of going to limbo?

Going into limbo, due to the time dilation of the dreamworld, meant, to the perceiver, a near-infinite span of time spent in the deep dream world. Meaning you would not only grow old a thousand times over, but the repetition, ennui, and unfathomable duration of the experience would likely drive the person insane; imagine going to sleep feeling 30 and waking up feeling impossibly ancient, your mind having crumbled to dust. Of course you cannot imagine it, which is why it would obliterate the mind.
