Update and Synchronise in Radrails

For some reason update and synchronise for SVN don’t work in the ‘Ruby Explorer’ view. You need to use the ‘Project explorer’ view for these actions and everything will work as expected

SVN on OSX Finally

It took a while but finally I got it figured out. After the initial install (which you can do your own search for) I had to do a few more things in the terminal.

While in the home directory…

$svnadmin create svnrepo

Edit the created ~/svnrepo/conf/passwd file with your chosen username and password

Uncomment the following lines in svnserve.conf

auth-access = write
password-db = passwd

$svnserve -d -r ~/svnrepo

That’s it. You now have a working svn repository at svn://localhost

Calculating Distance Using Only Velocity

Question:

Is it possible to calculate the position of an object relative to two or three other objects, using only the velocity of the object relative to the other two or three?

One of the problems when looking at the velocity of an object in relation to another object is that we come at it from a ‘MiddleWorld‘ point of view. To us, velocity is the result of how far an object travels from or to another object multiplied by the time it takes. We think of the velocity of light like this too. We can see light travel from one MiddleWorld object to another so we think of the ‘velocity’ as being only an indicator which gives us information about the relationship between the objects. But what if we take another perspective. What if we lived in a universe where we thought of velocity as the ‘object’ and thought of ‘MiddleWorld objects’ as things you calculated?
