mcmire / YAML::Omap fix in Ruby 1.8.7
Created April 10, 2009 21:32
YAML::Omap fixes for Ruby 1.8.6
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
#
# In Ruby 1.8.6, there's a bug in YAML that is revealed when you
# serialize and then deserialize a large YAML::Omap. If you look
# at the generated YAML, it looks like every so often, instead
# of an object showing up in the YAML file, the object is skipped
# and another a reference to another object shows up. This does
# not seem to happen with an Array of values, or an Array of Arrays,
# or an Array of Hashes, or a Hash. This behavior was fixed in 1.8.7.

mcmire / require_profiler.md
Created January 14, 2010 16:24
Record how long it takes to require files in your Ruby code and view a hierarchical report.

require_profiler

require_profiler in action

What is this?

This script of sorts overrides require and load to record the time it takes to require files within a section of your code, and then generates a report afterward. It's intelligent enough to figure out where files were required from and construct a hierarchy of the required files.

Created August 17, 2010 16:13
Patch to speed up Spork
# Don't reload views or routes
# This (along with setting cache_classes to false) brought running a
# single spec file down from 7.4s to 2.8s
# See discussion: http://github.com/timcharper/spork/issues#issue/13
#
# To install, put this in spec/support and then require it in your spec_helper like:
#
# require 'spork'
# require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/support/spork")
#
