The question I always ask myself is: how does one learn specialized stuff like managing a DB without working with it professionally? This also applies to Big Data, scaling, etc. I would love to work building highly scalable systems, but I d

I have been using Postgres since I was a student, but I must recognize that being a better programmer than sysadmin, I always used it after some kind of abstraction layer. Today, this layer is Rails with ActiveRecord. I want to convince my

A little bit off-topic, but I find it really interesting how some American webpages have a look and feel that is recognizable in a fraction of second. The website https://www.appointmentreminder.org/ is one of these, the se

I recommend this article from the guys from Code Climate, it is really mind-opening: http://blog.codeclimate.com/blog/2012/10/17/7-ways-to-decomp... The author describes different ways of refactoring fat

You should write Squarespace and ask if this is their standard process. I suspect that it could be a new support employee who is still learning how to handle this kind of stuff.

It looks like a parody to me, too. "First of all, I can do anything in jQuery, and have full control. Full control of the selectors, HTML, the DOM. I like that." This could be rewritten as "First of all, I can do anything in

While I can understand the advantages the author of the article mentions, I must say that one should think about making the move to OpsWorks, because you can't compare their prices without considering other costs / tradeoffs. A fr

Some time ago I was a Firefox user. Then Chrome came out and I first started using it for free-time browsing, while still developing on Firefox. Later, I decided to fully migrate to Chrome. I've decided to change it again, so I'm

I was going to write something like this. From my experience parsing a lot of CSV files, what's really tough isn't parsing data out of a nicely formatted CSV file, but cleaning and correcting the junk that is written into it. Some

Node express is Sinatra. There is nothing even close to Rails in the JS world, Meteor is getting closer every day, though.

I would like to add a thought about the dispute about the need of using jQuery. Let's say we know a consultant, let's call him Bob, who works on client projects. He needs to implement new features fast, and does not want to worry

"No one knows Motorola outside the United States" I stopped reading here, as the author has shown having absolutely no idea about the mobile market.

They may sound low, but compared to the USA, Germany has public health care, free education (up to graduate level), a long, paid parental leave and a lot of other social benefits. This really sums up if you have to pay for all these things

It's even more funny when you know that "pau", in Catalan, means "peace".

Well, the most difficult project I had to upgrade was a 2.3 project with a custom Asset Pipeline, with some additional features that Sprockets do not support. Sometimes the upgrading problems arise due to gem dependencies, as a lot of gems

by iagooar 13y ago
As far as I know, Github also uses their own Ruby fork and have build an asset pipeline on top of their current system. I don't think that the reason why they don't upgrade is because it's too hard. It's just that their

The Ruby source code is also a DSL build on top of a bunch of macros.

The thing is, the Catalan community has a very strong presence on the Internet. As an example, the Catalan version of Wikipedia currently has +400.000 articles, being the 17th biggest. To make clear what this means, you have to know that Ca

I'm offering to translate the homepage :)

by iagooar 13y ago
I can surely help you translate the homepage. Just give me a contact mail.

by iagooar 13y ago
The only page I have found in Catalan so far is the homepage, and it is translated 50% by Google and 50% by someone who probably did not even finish high school. I'm happy that the app is translated into Catalan. I hope the translation

You know that using a .cat domain for something not related to Catalan culture or language is not allowed by the conditions established by ICANN and Fundació puntCAT? You have only translated the main page (with Google Translator...) to mak

It was a pleasure reading your entry, because it is exactly how I feel about privacy. Actually, the whole process, or movement, that different governments promote is making us believe that if we want privacy, we want to do "bad stuff&q

Isn't it actually kind of sad, that such important researches don't get considered until 40 or 50 years later?

This is a really nice article, it seems you found a similar solution to mine. The only thing that is more or less difficult about testing Angular ist the boilerplate one has to write to instantiate everything correctly. When writing the cod

It's a project that aims for the future, not the past. Or can you play PS3 games on a PS4?

I would go that way too. Static content export, put a CDN in front of it, and response times will get < 100ms, even < 80ms. I have done some experiments with static exports using dynamic frameworks like Rails, and man, it really makes

by iagooar 13y ago
I'm getting response times of 4-5 seconds, which I think is a lot. This is mainly static content you got there, it's the easiest scenario for aggressive content caching. Just throw in a good Memcached server and serve the whole pa
