Re: The UK’s Brain Drain (been there, done that)

The exact same thing goes for Denmark (and, I suspect, the rest of Europe). When I quit my academic career after 3 years of post.doc'ing and moved home (I was living in the US), having a ph.d. scared potential employers. Luckily after 7 months unemployment I fell into freelance web-development which is great.

The industry says they need highly qualified employees, but it's not true. It's more like a kind of bragging: our jobs are so interesting you need to be really smart to do them, and there are not enough smart people. But when they meet smart, well-educated people they look at the job opportunity and think: "wait a minute, we can't hire this person, she'd get bored in a couple of months and then leave, this job needs someone not quite so smart and well-educated, we thought we were more interesting than we actually are". It comes down to culture, and I doubt that changes in a couple of years.

Re: Do not use apt-get to install passenger on Ubuntu

Ah, we don't actually provide Intrepid packages ourselves, but Intrepid comes with it's own official version of the package (actually an older version of our package) - which unfortunately does depend on worker. Our latest package (currently only built for Hardy) has the fixed dependencies.

Our hardy package might install fine on Hardy though.

Hi John

Yes, worker prefork and libapache2-mod-php5 was removed by your package. I am on Ubuntu 8.10, intel version. What I did was add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://apt.brightbox.net intrepid main

And I just said yes to the changes without really looking, which is ofcourse my fault not yours :-)

Re: Fragment cache expiry from background jobs is a hot mess

The problem I have with gibberish is that I want my templates to be human readable. In Globalize you use the ".t" function, so you just write a normal sentence and use the sentence itself as the key for translation. In Giberish, as I understand it, each string gets a key, so you cannot look at the template file and easily see what text is actually there. I might be wrong, though, and I am always looking for enlightenment.

Gibberish - http://github.com/defunkt/gibberish/tree/master =)

I was debating before for my site between globalize and gibberish and other options also; but globalize is huge, lots of code, and seemed to always lag behind rails releases.

Gibberish is only like 100 lines total as a plugin, and super easy to understand if you need to modify it; so its a much better solution imo ;)

I'm not on 2.1 yet, but thanks for the tip. I want to move to 2.1, but globalize in standing in the way right now. I am hoping that globalize will either be patched or that I find a better alternative.

Yeah, same thing, except I also tried setting the autoload path and it still wouldn't work.

There is a restful inline editing plugin for rails called Rest in place.
