Ruby off Rails

Sep 10, 20109 likes3,379 views

The author has been using Ruby on Rails since 2005 but recently felt it had become sluggish and had a large memory footprint like Java frameworks. They have been experimenting with alternative libraries like Monk and Ohm. Monk is a modular web framework that relies on tools like Rack and Sinatra. Ohm stores objects in Redis, a key-value database, and includes validations. The author notes some parallels between Rails and these alternative libraries but advocates letting the code do the talking.

I got to know Monk +
Ohm (and a slew of
other libraries)

Saturday, September 11, 2010

Monk is a glue framework for web
development in Ruby. It’s truly modular by
relying on the best tool for each job. It’s
also pretty fast thanks to Rack and Sinatra.

Ohm
Ohm is a library for storing objects in
Redis, a persistent key-value database. It
includes an extensible list of validations
and has very good performance.

The author has been using Rails since 2005 but has recently found it feels like a Java framework and is sluggish with a large memory footprint. They have been learning Monk and Ohm, which are modular Ruby frameworks that rely on tools like Rack, Sinatra, and Redis for speed. Monk is a glue framework for web development and Ohm stores objects in Redis. The author compares Rails components to equivalent Monk/Ohm libraries and suggests Monk as an alternative to Rails for new projects.

Enterprise rails hosting 3 ways to scale - 2011-10 Avarteq

Your project is evolving just fine, you have a steady, non-linear growth and your roadmap is tightly packed. You feel hosting issues become more and more time consuming. So what to do? In this talk we will see that the answer to this question is not as easy as: "we'll jump into the cloud". More than this three different ways to solve this problem will be presented: high-end hardware, commodity hardware and a cloud deployment scenario. This gives you options to choose from. For each scenario an exemplary system design illustrating its hosting structure will be shown. We will workout individual pros and cons which need to be considered carefully in respect to your individual requirements. In order to support your decision making we will draft a rough decision tree to help you picking the best possible scenario for your situation. So at the end of the talk should be able to plan your next scale out step, easily.

Goto aarhus: Mobile Browser as a platformMaximiliano Firtman

This document summarizes Max Firtman's presentation on using the mobile browser as a platform. Some key points from the presentation include that mobile is more about the user experience of being personal, focused and context-aware. However, developing for mobile browsers is challenging due to the many platforms, lack of documentation, and difficulty testing and debugging across devices. HTML5 aims to address these issues with standards, though the landscape remains complex with many browsers having limitations or proxies.

The document discusses Node.js and how it can be used to build server-side applications using JavaScript. Some key points include: - Node.js allows for non-blocking, asynchronous programming which improves performance compared to traditional blocking I/O. - It uses a single thread with event loops to handle multiple connections concurrently without blocking. - JavaScript is a good choice as it is the language of the web and supports features like closures that are useful for asynchronous programming. - Node.js has gained popularity due to its ability to build high performance web servers using a non-blocking approach that is accessible to programmers without expertise in asynchronous programming.

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix

Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025 https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/ Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think? Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater. At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts. At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.
