Ruby script for downloading rails casts

Ryan Bates continuously provide useful Rails tips in this railscasts.com . I had written a bash script for downloading the videos of the episodes in the past. I do not like streaming much and I'd rather keep the episodes for reference. One downside of the script is that I had to check the rss feed or the website for new episodes, and run the script manually passing the correct paramters (start and end of episode ids to be downloaded) Now I decided to get rid of the silly step. so I ported my script to ruby, and it runs down to download whatever episodes are missing using the rss feed and checking what is already present. The script uses simple-rss gem, so you'll have to get that installed. It also uses wget for downloading. I didn't bother using net/http of ruby, wget is fine for me as a linux user. The script flow is simple: Check the current files in the download directory (collecting information) Grab the rss of railscasts.com Iterate over rs

Prime Numbers Generator

Image
did u know that 34136029 is a prime number?!! well.. that's what i recently realized :) I thought of writing a piece of code for that purpose.. wondering how far i can get. The idea of the code is simple We know that 2 and 3 are prime numbers the code checks every following odd numbers to be prime or not. To verify a prime number, the number divisibility by the prime numbers generated so far is checked. (29 is a prime number.. because it id not divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 nor 23) We only need to verify divisibility against the numbers smaller than or equal to the root of the number in hand. (We needn't check the divisibility of 33 with 11, as we already must have found out it is divisible by 3).. I did not want to go with the mathematical root evaluation as i am not sure about its load. I used bits handling instead. the root of a number uses at most half of the number of bits that the original number uses. i only made a naive java implementation so far. downloa

Exporting data from remote mysql instance in csv, using mysql client and sed

Mysql allows exporting query results to csv using the INTO OUTFILE , like the following example: SELECT a,b,a+b INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/result.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' FROM test_table; This, however, will cause the data to be exported to the file system of the database server.  Sometimes you do not have access to that server and you are only connected remotely from a different machine using mysql command line. One way to export the data is to pass a query and redirect the output to a file as follows $ mysql -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -h DB_SERVER mydb -e "SELECT a,b,a+b INTO OUTFILE FROM test_table;" > output.txt This will do the trick, except that the resulting file is TAB separated instead of CSV. You can simply download the file and open it using any text editor and replace all tabs with commas. but that's not practical for large data sets.  Instead, we
