It actually depends of the locale of the system. If you are on a French windows, it will use semi-colons as separators, encode in window cp1252 (close to latin1 but not exactly) and use CRLF (\r\n) as line returns. But then if you use Excel

Well, to rubygems's credit they know post install scripts are a bad idea and they don't support it. The only way to do that in a gem is a hack based on extconf.rb (the original intent of this file being to compile native extension

It's what power the coffeescript and uglifier support in Rails. You may not have heard of it, but you likely used it.

You can add caching to it pretty easily. If you cache the objects independently and leverage memcache multiget you can get some very nice speedups. AMS have unfortunately no caching by default, and the development was stale for almost a yea

Depends. I remember having an issue with an apache/mod_php app that was using way too much memory. The app was doing polling every 10 seconds and apache had a 15 seconds keep alive. So each user of the app was maintaining an apache pro
