Yeah, lotus looks like it could do a good job at letting you share/extend models and other bits of code between a Rails-like html server and a pure api server. Maybe those two things are the same server, different modules in the same

Indeed. I used to catch tons of shit about not understanding cars from a mechanic friend until his laptop died and I helped him recover photos of his kids. Now we're both content to be wizards of our own domains without talking down to

Yeah, people also survived when we put lead paint on everything. Evaluate the issue on its actual merits and relevant statistics, not wether or not you personally won the "take an unnecessary risk" dice roll.

How cool is "cool"? According to this[1] 15 minutes at 75 degrees can be enough. It's even possible at 50-60 degrees for an infant with blankets. [1] http://www.parenting.com/article/tragedy-in-the-backse

Even the link you cited claims that 15 minutes can be enough time under surprisingly temperate conditions. I've easily spent that amount of time waiting through lines on something that should have been a quick run to the store.

I'm not sure I understand your point. If your controller logic ensures that users will always be logged in, why would you need to test for the presence of current_user?

by awj 12y ago
As taylorfusak mentioned, a User#guest? method is a more natural way to handle that problem. You also could make use of ActiveModel::Conversion#to_partial_path, like so: <%= render partial: current_user %> This implicitly cal

I think pedantry can be excused in the face of claims that would disprove the fundamental laws upon which our understanding of the universe rests.

Sure, but that's been true of PCs for ages. We're all used to the idea that PCs need to be updated. To me one of the advantages to consoles was that they could pick up and play at any moment.

You're asking why Comcast should be responsible for meeting the expectations they're creating? When your advertising solely conveys "always fast Internet" and "up to 100Mb/s speeds", what exactly do you th

Yeah, of course the thing was faster. I would be upset if you didn't get this result after rewriting from a crufty old system that was never intended for the purpose it's serving into new code that uses appropriate technologies

Instead of flippantly dismissing the comments, maybe you should think about what people are saying.

Bolting reusable libraries together is great for some things, not so much for others. How much of that large package repository uses different (or worse, conflicting) solutions for abstracting async programming? Some batteries really are be

Clojure is arguably a better language for being less pure as a Lisp. Many old school Lispers object to the dedicated vector and map syntax, but it's 2014 and these data structures are important and common enough to warrant shorthand.

Other than a decidedly not-Uber-like experience of throwing ads at a captive rider, I really don't see a reason that Google would be interested in that space.

I'm not sure how you can achieve low level performance and memory safety without dealing with this sort of thing.

by awj 12y ago
Yeah, that's a terminology issue. They mean lexically scoped named functions. Versus the default in Clojure of global or namespace scope.

If I have the slightest concern about operator precedence while writing code, I put in extra parens. Because it will definitely hinder me reading the code later. Plus, Haskell doesn't use them much anyways. I'm sure the 9 and

..and since you're freeing up ~, you can now rename 'fn' to it. Rust criticism would drop to nearly zero, because everyone would focus in on your crazy function-defining-tilde and those people just don't get it.

Yeah, things like marshaling data across the interface barrier, or chasing the pointer indirections inherent in calling functions, can have a significant cost. Usually it isn't significant enough , but as always the devil is in the de

Yeah, indeed. I think with the flak this article is taking elsewhere in the comments people might be reading this as an argument against him. I know that was my first impression, glad I asked for clarification.
