Interesting Things

• Last week, we discovered that Ruby 1.9′s require is unnecessarily slow, and that there’s a patch targeted for 1.9.3. Until then, Dave G. says, you can use the following to patch your Ruby 1.9.2 using RVM:

  curl https://raw.github.com/gist/1008945/7532898172cd9f03b4c0d0db145bc2440dcbb2f6/load.patch > /tmp/load.patch
  rvm get head   # always good to make sure you're up to date with RVM
  rvm reload
  rvm install ruby-1.9.2-p180 --patch /tmp/load.patch -n patched
  rvm use ruby-1.9.2-p180-patched
