God's memory leak - a scientific treatment (exposes a subtle bug in Ruby)
- pius 19y agoHere's a simple test case for the leak. http://pastie.caboo.se/170484 http://pastie.caboo.se/170484
- pius 19y agoI should mention that this is from the thread; I pastie'd it in case folks were interested in seeing the leak before they go through the whole thread.

- phaedrus 19y agoThis is a great example of using the scientific method to debug programs, and a perfect example of how useful a personal log can be. Imagine if every programmer kept such logs, so that when you have a question about a strange hack in a program you inherit to maintain, you can search in the original programmer's log and read what was going on at the time he came up with the fix?
