Just a couple quick impressions about the 10.3.9 update that rolled out tonight:
Safari 1.3 feels faster. I think it is. There’s some better CSS support it seems, too.
The annoying backlight-dimming bug introduced in 10.3.8 which caused the light sensors of Powerbooks to become overly-sensitive also appears to be fixed.
With 10.4 coming out in exactly 2 weeks, I’ll hardly get to use 10.3.9 :)

I missed Sylvain’s Post on cocoon-dev that he added AJAX support in Cocoon/CForms. I need to check this out!
I’ve been reading lots of comparisons about Hibernate/Spring/Whatever vs. Ruby/Rails. I can’t believe people are trying to compare them! Even more wasteful is probably this rant, but I digress
I’m a fan of Spring/Hibernate/Whatever for Java. I also think Ruby is a neat elegant language. It’s a stupid and shortsighted to think that Ruby/Rails is going to replace Java tech overnight.
Instead of arguing “oh Java is better because X,” or “Rails is cooler because I write YYY less lines of code,” how about trying the “other side” out for yourself and see how it works?
Discussions Arguments like these are old as the hills. Emacs vs. vi, Sega vs. Nintendo, Pepsi vs. Coke, and are a waste of time. Get back to work ;)
