The Ruby Webcam is a weather cam in Ruby, Alaska. Ruby is a city in Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, Alaska, United States. At the 2000 census the population was 188. The town of Ruby was established in 1911 as the result of a gold rush. Gold was first discovered at the current townsite in 1906 on Ruby Creek. That discovery brought more prospectors to the area. In 1910 word leaked out about a gold strike on Long Creek, 30 miles south of Ruby, and a stampede was on. Discoveries on other nearby creeks followed and Ruby became the supply point for the mines. At its peak the population was near 3000. By 1918 The town was in decline. Many of the men had left to fight in WWI and several of the towns business people and their families were lost in the sinking of the ship Sophia. A fire in 1929 destroyed much of the business district and a flood in 1931 took out what was left of buildings on the river front. After WWII the population of the community had left. Natives from the village of Kokrines moved in to take advantage of the abandoned homes. There are currently less than 200 people living in Ruby. Local residents nicknamed the town "The Gem of the Yukon", because it is located along the Yukon River and also the name resembles that of a ruby gemstone. View the Ruby Webcam

    Un applauso scrosciante al Pdl, che in un giorno di lutto nazionale ripropone in aula il ddl "cancella Ruby". Siete voi l'antipolitica.

    On my rough benchmarks, JRuby 1.7 on Java 7 on rails with threadsafe=t, after 30k reqs, totally outperforms Ruby 1.9.3 (~1400r/s vs ~820r/s)
