SF Standup for Tuesday, 4/26/2011: How similar are these 2 songs?

I apologize for posting this 2 days late.

Help

Are there any open services like the Music Genome Project? Our project needs to calculate distance between 2 songs.

Some people think the Music Genome Project is open. Related, but not directly answering the question is MusicBrainz, an open system for identifying music via accoustic fingerprint.

SF Standup for Monday, 4/25/2011: What gem do you use for file upload?

Help

What are projects using for file upload? Paperclip? Carrierwave?

Most continue to use Paperclip, though a few projects have successfully used Carrierwave. Carrierwave apparently has better mongo support.

I tried to setup ruby and rails, and installed the latest mysql gem and I get warning messages about the mysql gem.

Others have experienced this too and offered to help. The main answer seemed to be "the warnings are lies, it will work."
