  1. Re:Objective? on Practical Rails Projects · · Score: 5, Informative

    I did my best to review the book honestly. All I can give you is my word.

  2. Re:Already out of date? on Practical Rails Projects · · Score: 3, Informative

    Such is the pace of a popular framework like Rails. I submitted this review to /. over 2 months ago, and yet another release of Rails is imminent. A paper-based publishing process just can't keep up.

  3. Riemann anyone? on The Geometry of Music · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The only remarkable thing about this man's research (at least what I can tell from the superficial article) is that he got published in Science. Music theory scholars study all kinds of mathematical models with strong resemblances to his multi-dimensional lattices. There's a whole branch of music theory devoted to graphical, parsimonious chordal analysis and derivatives thereof.

    Neo-Riemannian theory centers around a triangularly-tiled toroidal space (usually represented as a flat plane) in which chords, represented as whole triangles, typically move one vertex at a time, flipping across the space along adjacent sides.

  4. Re:Benchmarks mean nothing, specially these ones. on Ruby 1.9.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Radiant CMS has no immediate plans to move to 1.9. Obviously, Rails will need to support it first, and even then Ruby 1.9 is a development release, not a stable one.
