ruby-1.9.3

Trying to use Ruby 1.9.3 & rest-client to make https requests like: RestClient.get('https://google.com') always gives me a SSL error, OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server key exchange B: bad ecpoint which I cannot figure out. bad ecpoint ? I've had no trouble making the same request with 1.9.3 & rest-client on another Mountain Lion machine. Notes about this machine: MacBook pro with fresh Mountain Lion install, where I originally had some trouble installing gcc-4.2 via the XCode command line tools, but eventually got gcc-4.2 via homebrew/dupes . I've

After upgrading to Ruby 1.9.3 (from 1.9.2 using system RVM) on Ubuntu 10.04.3, I removed all of my gems, and attempted to reinstall pg (ala bundle install pg ). It then threw an error and informed me that I should look at mkmf.log, both of which are included in this gist: https://gist.github.com/d05a81701d968895c730 libpq-dev, libpq5, and postgresql-client are all installed and working correctly. Pointing gem at pg_config, and the include and bin directories directly does not appear to change anything. I've seen several questions about similar error messages around stackoverflow, and the rest

I have some errors triggered by a chinese bot: http://www.easou.com/search/spider.html when it scrolls my websites.

class Foo attr_accessor :name, :age, :email, :gender, :height def initalize params @name = params[:name] @age = params[:age] @email = params[:email] . . . end This seems like a silly way of doing it. What is a better/more idiomatic way of initalizing objects in Ruby?

I prefer this, because it will catch if you pass an invalid key. class Foo attr_accessor :name, :age, :email, :gender, :height def initialize params = {}
