And two years after taking the easy way out, Snow Leopard finally adds 64-bit libraries and Ruby stuff to make the x86_64 architecture viable. Witness:

bimota:~ root# file /usr/bin/ruby
/usr/bin/ruby: Mach-O universal binary with 3 architectures
/usr/bin/ruby (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/usr/bin/ruby (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386
/usr/bin/ruby (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O executable ppc

So now we can install the x86_64 binary from MySQL and move on.

Since the time I wrote the above post, Rails has really moved a long way towards addressing my needs without bringing the model scoping directly into the controller. Clearly the coupling of model scope and controller is not something the Rails core team wants, but I applaud the excellent functionality now available in scoping (named_scopes, default scopes). Named scope composition alone is a HUGE jump in expressiveness and neatly addresses my orthogonality concerns noted above (with the minor nit that Base.find doesn’t return a scope-compatible object -see below).

I’d like to see a grand unified theory of object retrieval that unifies AR::Base.find, associations and named scopes into a single concept. We’re definitely getting closer.

Somewhat related cool idea: Rails provides three default scopes (AFAICT): first, last and all. Why not add “inverse”? For example, Widgets.red.new.inverse would result in something like this…

SELECT * FROM widgets WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT id FROM widgets WHERE color = ‘red’ AND condition = ‘new’)

I’ve updated this post to ensure that control characters are properly rendered in the ERB snippets embedded within the YAML.

The above solutions did not work for me, however this does:
data: ‘bar’, ‘baz’ => ‘bad’ ).to_yaml.sub(/^— /,”").gsub(/\n/,”\n “) %>

I followed these steps with my Eclipse App and it worked fine. But, when I try to do it in Flex Builder 3, it doesnt give me the Export Plugin option. I tried the pref, general, capabilities. But, that wasnt there either. I also tried, building and exporting from Eclipse to my Flex Builder Directory and stil nothing. Any suggestions?
