Wow, epic reunion of SNL presidents

Starring Chevy Chase, Jim Carrey, Fred Armisen, Darrell Hammond, Dan Aykroyd, Maya Rudolph, and Dana Carvey, and somehow they got Ron Howard to direct it.

What Pythonistas Think of Ruby

http://blog.peepcode.com/tutorials/2010/what-pythonistas-think-of-ruby

One’s aesthetic reaction to the following code snippets [regarding parentheses] distinguishes the Rubyist from the Pythonista:

attr_accessor(:title, :slug, :body)  belongs_to(:article)  before_save(:encrypt_password)    get("/articles") do  haml(:article)  end

Homebrew formula for installing MongoDB 1.3.0 to use with MongoHQ

The built-in formula for installing MongoDB with Homebrew is only up to
version 1.2.0, so I put together this recipe to install 1.3.0. MongoDB
is actually up to 1.3.2, but MongoHQ
only uses 1.3.0 for now, so there you go. To install MongoDB 1.3.0 with Homebrew, run:

$ brew edit mongodb and replace it with this:

 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 

require ‘formula’
require ‘hardware’
 
class Mongodb <Formula
  homepage ‘http://www.mongodb.org/’
 
  aka :mongo
 
  if Hardware.is_64_bit? and not ARGV.include? ‘—32bit’
    url ‘http://downloads.mongodb.org/osx/mongodb-osx-x86_64-1.3.0.tgz’
    md5 ‘db021bcc5dfd1c9b8694bead78e68bc5’
    version ‘1.3.0-x86_64’
  else
    url ‘http://downloads.mongodb.org/osx/mongodb-osx-i386-1.3.0.tgz’
    md5 ‘29aaca0299e3633c375973d63d4a5a88’
    version ‘1.3.0-i386’
  end
 
  def skip_clean? path
    true
  end
 
  def install
    # Copy the prebuilt binaries to prefix
    system “cp -prv * #{prefix}
 
    # Create the data and log directories under /var
    (var+‘mongodb’).mkpath
    (var+‘log/mongodb’).mkpath
 
    # Write the configuration files and launchd script
    (prefix+‘mongod.conf’).write mongodb_conf
    (prefix+‘org.mongodb.mongod.plist’).write startup_plist
  end
 
  def caveats; «-EOS
You can enable mongodb to automatically load on login with:
launchctl load -w #{prefix}/org.mongodb.mongod.plist
 
Or start it manually:
mongod run —config #{prefix}/mongod.conf
EOS
  end
 
  def mongodb_conf
    return «-EOS
# Store data in #{var}/mongodb instead of the default /data/db
dbpath = #{var}/mongodb
 
# Only accept local connections
bind_ip = 127.0.0.1
EOS
  end
 
  def startup_plist
    return «-EOS
<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8”?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>
<plist version=”1.0”>
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>org.mongodb.mongod</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>#{bin}/mongod</string>
<string>run</string>
<string>—config</string>
<string>#{prefix}/mongod.conf</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<true/>
<key>UserName</key>
<string>#{`whoami`.chomp}</string>
<key>WorkingDirectory</key>
<string>#{HOMEBREW_PREFIX}</string>
<key>StandardErrorPath</key>
<string>#{var}/log/mongodb/output.log</string>
<key>StandardOutPath</key>
<string>#{var}/log/mongodb/output.log</string>
</dict>
</plist>
EOS
  end
end
 
Run the following to install:

$ brew install mongodb This will install MongoDB and set it up in launchd so it runs on startup.

Done!

Great, as if the day wasn't short enough already…

March 1 (Bloomberg) — The earthquake that killed more than 700 people in Chile on Feb. 27 probably shifted the Earth’s axis and shortened the day, a National Aeronautics and Space Administration scientist said.

Earthquakes can involve shifting hundreds of kilometers of rock by several meters, changing the distribution of mass on the planet. This affects the Earth’s rotation, said Richard Gross, a geophysicist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, who uses a computer model to calculate the effects.

“The length of the day should have gotten shorter by 1.26 microseconds (millionths of a second),” Gross, said today in an e-mailed reply to questions. “The axis about which the Earth’s mass is balanced should have moved by 2.7 milliarcseconds (about 8 centimeters or 3 inches).”
