We were talking tonight about CPAN modules, Python eggs, and PEAR... pears? We'd love to take what we've learned serving Rubygems and apply the knowledge to any other languages that have a solid packaging system.

We exclude certain paths, especially popular JavaScript libraries.

That's the direction we want to take it.

That blog post is no longer accurate. We don't count LOC for language popularity, we count the number of non-fork projects that include a language. If your project includes both Ruby and Perl, Ruby and Perl each get a +1.

Some JavaScript implementations can't handle keywords as property names. e.g. in Safari: var a = { new: 'Monkey' } fails. Thus the required quotes in the JSON spec.

The Fork Queue is a replacement for email patch management, not a merge tool. It is for cherry picking changes from contributors, not merging branches. This is why the author information is retained and --signoff is used. As Hongli Lai says

If you're building apps with Cocoa, it's very easy to embed and drive WebKit.

God doesn't actually work. We used god on FamSpam, currently use it on GitHub, and I've heard at least two massive Facebook apps (Friends for Sale and Rock Legends) use it to manage a large number of processes across a large number of ser

It is a nice basic and traditional issue tracker That's exactly what it's meant to be. We're not in the business of building fancy bug trackers :)

Only collaborators can close tickets, so if you merge in commits from someone without permissions the 'close #1' will have no effect.

Where are you located? Most git pages (e.g. http://github.com/rails/rails/tree/master or http://github.com/rails/rails/commits/master ) should load fast. That said, we're still working hard to optimize and speed-up every aspect of the si

It's not git-backed (yet), but if you're interested in something like that check out Ditz (which you can use with GitHub's Pages feature): http://en.deadbeaf.org/2009/04/17/ditz-on-github-page/

Christian is a very well known Ruby developer. I'd say having a noteworthy developer write a style guide is noteworthy.

Ian Macdonald puts it well: Unlike in some other communities, there is no contention in the Ruby community over whether to use two, four or eight spaces. Everyone is happy to use just two. Furthermore, never use tabs, which includes the pr

Does that make every multi-threaded network daemon that manages a thread pool of connections a 'half-assed implementation of EventMachine' then? (I know who Tony is. I co-wrote Evented Starling.)

As I perhaps somewhat self-aggrandizingly consider myself one of the most knowledgable people regarding I/O in the Ruby world, I decided to peek around the Starling source and see what I discovered. What I found was a half-assed and pathet

I actually used this app to remove ten friends and got my free whopper certificate in the mail. The idea is brilliant.

it was refreshing to see that the .NET regular expression engine was written entirely in C# Pretty awesome that he can do this sort of digging in his language of choice.

I would say there are a few factors responsible for this. First, Jeremy Kemper got hired by 37signals which seems to give him a lot more time to work on Rails. Next, around the time of the move to git, the existing Rails core team was shuff

Does "watching more TV" mean "sitting in front of a screen at 8pm every Thursday and watching until the show's completion at 9pm?" I personally watch more TV than I ever have before, now that my Mac Mini is hooked up to my screen and I have

Steve came online each day and remained there for hours and hours as you’d expect a Silicon Valley mogul to do I'd expect a Silicon Valley mogul to be on iChat very rarely.
