debug SystemStackError in ruby 1.9

This is how I debug SystemStackError when there is no stack trace.

My first attempt was:

begin
  a_method_that_causes_infinite_recursion_in_a_not_obvious_way
rescue SystemStackError
  puts caller
end

Setting Up Clojure on OS X

Setting Up Clojure on OS X

I spent a lot of time trying to find a pretty optimal (for me) setup for Clojure… at the same time I was trying to dive in and learn it. This is never optimal; you shouldn't be fighting the environment while trying to learn something.

I feel like I went through a lot of pain searching Google, StackOverflow, blogs, and other sites for random tidbits of information and instructions.

This is a comprehensive "what I learned and what I ended up doing" that will hopefully be of use to others and act as a journal for myself if I ever have to do it again. I want to be very step-by-step and explain what's happening (and why) at each step.

Step 1: Getting Clojure (1.3)

Use Ruby as AWK or Grep
# A few examples about how to use Ruby for parsing files as we could do
# with Awk or Grep. This is based on what I learn fro this post:
# http://code.joejag.com/2009/using-ruby-as-an-awk-replacement/
# Split each line with ':' and print the first $F[0] field
awk -F: '{ print $1 }' /etc/passwd
ruby -F: -nae 'puts $F[0]' /etc/passwd
# Parse the 'ps aux' output
# It'll print the ID process for the 'jojeda' user
