She's pretty and smells good but I think we need some more solid proof.

Still reduces eye strain, that's for sure. But then again, lowering brightness also does that.

Yet another reminder that passive income is the greatest arsenal in a programmers' toolbelt. Not having a salaried job gives one more time and energy, total focus. Having total focus and ability to also indulge in leisure allows one's true goals to be attacked and achieved. It's interesting that my life right now is based around 'becoming rich', well actually just self-sufficient, so I can then work on my true projects. Life after life ;-) Let's just hope I don't get too old before the passive income kicks in. Thanks for all your essays and other forms of enlightenment Paul.

You're right, let's stop rapping and pull out the trombones.

The rvmrc is part of the repo and contains the java_opts env.

The thing is that the rvmrc has the jruby version env set. So I need to load it first. And it contains an 'rvm use' which I don't want to fail. I suppose I can slim the rvmrc down to just include the environment and then all I would need to do is source the rvmrc? Thoughts?

I've had similar problems with RVM. Ultimately I used the system-wide RVM installation and this chunk of code:

  export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/rvm/bin/rvm
  . /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm
  . $REPO/.rvmrc
  . $(rvm jruby-$JRUBY_VERSION do rvm env --path)
  cd $REPO
  bundle exec torquebox deploy
Definitely not ideal and I spent a large amount of hours figuring out how to use it non-interactively. I'm still somewhat worried that some things might go wrong if some of the code I didn't write in this repo attempts to call binaries directly. Basically with bundle exec --deployment, all gems are stored in $CODE/.vendor which is necessary to allow users to install their own gems, with the root installation. Bundle exec has to be used, I messed around with RVM wrappers, but they don't work with the --deployment bundler use.

I do care about hip hop. White knighting is as made up a word, as any words are. You have the mentality that if you bend over to defend women, it will somehow make you more righteous of an individual. Women don't need defending. And those terms can refer to men as well.

Let's just put this in perspective Robert. You're a KFC nerd who plays video games, knows a little programming from modding them, you don't shave your neck, hang out with your cat, and defend women's social justice with respect to rap, through some poor analysis of word frequency on supposedly derogatory "demeaning" words on women. Somehow, hoping this ill-formed sickness of a view, helps women recognize your sentimental romance toward their engendered cause. Ain't gonna happen Jack. Be a man and stop playing internet politics. And lay off the Hollandaise sauce.

Callbacks cause no resource retention other than the closure whereas context switching incurs a much greater hit.

There is no problem. The "problem"/argument mentioned is manufactured out of pure bullishness toward the current stay of things.

Not trolling, you're assuming that all those words are used in a derogatory manner and discarding the actual content of the music so you can "defend" women. You're a pathetic white knight.
