  • Embed HTML on Your Site

    https://justatheory.com/2009/03/html-embed-test/

    If you’re a regular visitor to my blog (and who could blame you?), you likely have noticed a few changes recently. In addition to adding the sociable links a couple days ago, I’ve also been adding bits of embedded JavaScript in the right column displaying my three most recent Tweets and my three most recent Delicious bookmarks. These work reasonably well: I just embed <script> tags with the appropriate stuff, then style the HTML that they deliver.

  • Doomed To Reinvent

    https://justatheory.com/2009/06/doomed-to-reinvent/

    There’s an old saying, “Whoever doesn’t understand X is doomed to reinvent it.”X can stand for any number of things. The other day, I was pointing out that such is the case for ORM developers. Take ActiveRecord, for example. As I demonstrated in a 2007 Presentation, because ActiveRecord doesn’t support simple things like aggregates or querying against functions or changing how objects are identified, you have to fall back on using its find_by_sql() method to actually run the SQL, or using fuck typing to force ActiveRecord to do what you want. There are only two ways to get around this: Abandon the ORM and just use SQL, or keep improving the ORM until it has, in effect, reinvented SQL. Which would you choose?
