We have review environments so there is an easy way to have a fairly persistent config to QA features, but our environment that's named staging is more of a historical artifact. It's basically the same as a review environment beca

Events are foundational to JS, we've had them since the beginning and they're not broken. You don't need any nonsense to use them. They're also completely unrelated to promises in my opinion, so I'm not even sure wh

It's not in the guide because it's not core Rails. But there is a great site called RubyToolbox to help you find things that aren't core Rails. https://www.ruby-toolbox.com/categories/rails_authentication

Consensus is one thing, taking action on that consensus is another. We have failed to significantly increase the supply of housing so the cost of the existing housing has been on an unending march upwards. The solutions people are willing t

Every city in the state of California for many decades has failed to build enough housing to address the ever increasing demand for it and as a result people are losing housing. Every time rent increases significantly, homelessness increase

It's a common misconception that people experiencing homelessness are all junkies, but it's not true. A large number of homeless people are working poor. Estimates vary from 25% all the way up to 60%. If you sleep in your car beca

You're very incorrect. There are a huge number of people that are homeless that have full time jobs. There are a huge number of homeless people that don't use drugs. The problems they have are many and nuanced, trying to blame it

Oh, I do understand that was/is a motivation, I was being more rhetorical.

This is great. I never understood why we allow people who don't own the land dictating the terms of the housing that gets built when we need more of every kind of housing in California. The fetishization of single story mid-century con

When you're using an ecosystem like Rails, Redis is assumed to be a basic part of the stack so you don't really give it a second thought. Between ActiveJob/Sidekiq and ActionCable leaving out Redis leaves some large pieces of

Their updated terms seem to imply copyrighted music, but it comes off as banning any and all music including original content.

Two weeks ago I had an update rejected because we decided to remove Login with Facebook from our app. The plugin that provides that support to Cordova is a dependency nightmare and not many people used it anyways so we removed it during a b

You can absolutely trip from a transdermal dose. The kind of prying and jimmying required to disassemble a vintage synth unit could easily spread any film or sludge all over a significant part of a person's hands without gloves. Then a

Antifa is not a single organized group, it's anyone who is anti-fascist. So there is no 'real' antifa groups. The police don't have a very good track record releasing truthful information regarding these events, so why n

Yea, the slashes in branch names grates on me because '/' is a character that means too many things and the name winds up in URLs on Github.

by craigmcnamara 6y ago
I disagree with naming conventions for branches. Just give it a name, I like to have have a bit of fun sometimes. For example: 'org-mode', 'more-org-mode' and 'org-mode-3-still-org-moding' are 3 real branches I

The Appraisal gem is excellent for ensuring compatibility across many Rails and Ruby versions. Adding it to a project with a good test suite is a pretty good guarantee of an easy upgrade.

Fork, use your fork, send a pull request. Almost every rails upgrade I make forks and send patches on gems that I need that I forgot about. I get good responsiveness and merge rates. Most of the time a gem needs to be able to support multip

I love notebooks, but I agree with you. I like to use notebooks to instrument and debug modular models. Top down design, which is what I was taught years ago when I was learning C/C++ seems harmful when paired with out of order executi

Rails is productive out of the box. The author has different preferences for some defaults and some plugins that require config. This is common for a consultancy to have a project like this so their rails apps are consistent around non-defa

Rails out of the box is ready to build a production ready project. These are for when developer preferences diverge from the out of the box rails defaults. I love RSpec and I always set that up when I start a new Rails/Ruby project. If
