Re: puppet regular expression trouble - mocker.org

afaik, `"${::my_list}" =~ /$word/` puppet regexp will not interpolate $word into the regular expression - it will match the actual text '$word'.

Thanks for the comment. I played with this a little more today and tried to simplify my test. Take a look at the following gists and let me know what you think.

regex.pp - https://gist.github.com/kse...
regex.rb - https://gist.github.com/kse...

It actually looks like my problem isn't "Regular expressions cannot be converted to boolean values" but "Can't expand variables in regular expression match."

The problem is that the hiera $my_list returns an array which you use in a string context, so that produces a strange thing (which one I don't exactly remember) that certainly confuses the regex match operator.

Can't the "in" operator be used to check if it is in the array?

If you go down the road of managing modules with Pulp, I'd love to chat with you. email ryan at puppetlabs.com or ping me on Twitter. Thanks for the post!

Interesting take, seems that all the badges are on that site only and not shared to other sites. Also interesting that they limited the scope to just developers.

This is the closest to what I was thinking, but it looks like they are also trying to get the login/account management portion as well.

Kyle, this is very cool but VERY dangerous. Appropriate management of DNS is our first line of defence from and Internet security perspective. Storing a file on a Domain Name Server sounds to me like opening it up to abuse.

Re: Batching of forked processes in ruby - mocker.org

Wow, that looks really interesting. On my recent project (http://sendtodns.github.com/) I am using redis/resque to batch uploads, but that seems like overkill. I'll take a look at using this instead.

Checkout the parallel gem (https://github.com/grosser/.... Not only does it work great (it spawns threads or processes as workers), the code is clean.

Credit card password recovery questions:
1. What is your mother's maiden name? (check FB, family members, oh there's mom with Maiden right out there - or cousins with different last name... whatever)
2. Favorite pet? (image search for things that have faces and more hair than normal - look for pet name in caption)
3. What high school did you go to? (FB profile)

It's astounding what gets put out there. It's also why I give bullshit answers to *all* these password recovery questions and store them in a password safe just like any other password, because that's what they are.

M-x find-variable

M-x find-function

Lisp is not C! ELisp doesn't need a separate tags program. For an added bonus, if you happen to compile emacs from source you'll find that the same functions work on (the C source of) builtins as well. I use these functions heavily when programing in ELisp so I bind them like so.

(global-set-key "\C-cF" 'find-function)

(global-set-key "\C-cV" 'find-variable)

I definitely second the find-function-at-point command. Also, for web development creating functions for starting web servers (ie Ruby on Rails) comint mode is really nice. At work we use a whole suite of services and it is easy for me to start them all in handy scrolling buffers as if I started the via a terminal.

For example:

(defun start-my-server ( )
(interactive)
(setq cmd "cd ~/Projects/myapp && start_server.sh")
(comint-simple-send (make-comint "myapp-server" "bash") cmd))

For elisp the find-function-at-point command is much nicer than using tags since you don't have to manage your tags database; Emacs "just knows" where functions are. (Only works for functionality that is already loaded.) This will save you from having to run ctags under sudo (yikes):

(define-key emacs-lisp-mode-map (kbd "M-.") 'find-function-at-point)

Lovely article. Please write more like these. I'd be interested to read about ways to use emacs for ruby on rails dev. as it's flow is a bit broken compared to much newer editors like TextMate.

Thank you!

Noufal Ibrahim — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 04:43:00 -0000

Usually, for elisp files, I rely on C-h f and then click on the file link in the info buffer. It takes me to the right place. This is of course not the 'proper' way to do it but I didn't have to build my tags for it.

It sounds like you don't have the latest version. This is probably partly my fault since I've been putting updates in bzr on Savannah, but not pushing them out to the normal distribution places (e.g. emacswiki).

For now, you can get the latest version from here:

http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org...

If you would like updates or input into future work, you can join the mailing list here: https://savannah.nongnu.org...

Let me know if I can help you with anything.
