ES is one of the few techs that I seriously love. The rails support for it is amazing too. The guy creating the rails integration lib is really talented and active.

I think the rails team is showing us they are willing to adapt to future trends in web development. The guys running the show are also basing most of their business on it because they use it every day to develop basecamp and have been doing

It's because a ton of ads are filled with malware, are overly annoying, are untargeted garbage trying to sell me garbage and use a ton of resources because non-tech site owners think it's a good idea to put 15 ads on a page that h

I took cs50x a few years ago. I think every professor in the world should watch and take notes because Malan is one of those people who you will never forget. I recommend cs50x to every single person I know who wants to start programming an

Does anyone else feel weird knowing that when you call that model method it may or may not call out to a background worker task? Why not just throw all of your celery tasks that are related to an app inside of a worker.py file or something

I never click on them either. Come to think of it I never click on a typical archive either. I'm interested in the content, not that you have 17 posts back in October 2008.

I'd rather have semi-painful upgrades if it means making progress and not being stuck with a horrible base of a product. Being stuck with bad design decisions because the framework core team is too busy worrying about making incompatib

I smoked a pack a day for about 10 years and have quit for 2 years without using anything special or e-cigs. The quitting process took 3 days. If anyone who wants to try and quit here's what I did: 1) Make sure you want to quit because

You could try spending some time filling in your knowledge gaps. If you're not sure how to price, market it and sell it then try stepping away from the code and start watching presentations or reading posts on those topics. This way yo

I don't know about Django but rails has the idea of "live controllers". Sure it uses polling but didn't you watch DHH's railsconf presentation? They have 5-6 workers and a single redis server which sustains 100k+ re

Innocent bystander here. All 3 of you guys should partner up to make 1 high quality source of screencasts IMO.

Not at 4k resolution. They all advertise themselves as 120hz, but that's only at 1080p. Show me a 4k monitor that is using display port 1.20 that is not at a ridiculous price. A computer isn't going to struggle with that resolutio

Unless it can do at least 60hz at 4k then no one should buy this. 30hz is ridiculously bad, even for desktop usage.

Yeah I definitely agree with the drag/drop method not being popular for a lot of people. I'm not sure why, I guess it's because most people were brought up with "open the file dialog and pick the file". If it were t

The demo looks good but look how much fiddling he had to do to get the images the way he wanted them at certain points. There are so many little quirks that you can't really solve intuitively, you end up having to brute force a solutio

Yeah this is the main problem but I don't think it's really fixable in the near future. There's 3 types of content: - Arbitrary written content This is where markdown shines and IMO completely solves content creation. - Arbit

I always thought the C stood for compromise because that's almost always what you have to do when you use a CMS. I don't think the future is drag/drop codeless systems. Good luck when your clients ask for very specific work f

80ms-350ms is normal under typical traffic conditions. It depends on the complexity of the page. That's still not terrible though and it could easily improve by massive amounts with a stronger server. I have not gone crazy with profili

Benchmarks are fun but I'll stick with rails and its simple ways of letting you cache data. I'm ok with getting out the door response times of 8-15ms while serving 20,000 unique hits a day on a $5/month VPS. The server does n

Configuration is usually very minimal. It might be as little as nothing to editing 2 lines in a single config file. It depends on what you want to do of course. A lot of the following behind devise is due to how well it deals with all of th

He's set for life and rails is his pet project. I really don't think he cares if people move to alternative frameworks. I'm happy they continue to support methods like this though because I REALLY enjoy being able to put up a

I didn't know about #2, that's really cool. How does render_to_string handle cached partials? Does it still need to compute the output of the partial's string representation on every request?

It's not really mixed in with your views. You would put in a .js file that has nothing but javascript in it. Some benefits I see are: 1. It just works perfectly with and without javascript which means your stuff gets crawled by search

That's kind of what I was getting at and I don't blame you because it makes a lot of sense. But it sounded like you wanted someone to make this nice custom solution for you at below minimum wage rates because that is what you perc

If it's "not really that hard" why not just do it yourself? Just remember that a web site is more than a place where you put your product. It's a salesman and a showcase for your product. I'm not sure why you would

Who said I don't accept others? I don't care if people believe in religion or not. My opinion is we could be spending our resources as a whole (ie. all of humanity) on much more important things. Unfortunately this will never happ

Yeah but the upside is you get to live forever, potentially see humanity expand outside of Earth or even come across life forms outside of our galaxy. Snap call all-in?

It would be nice to spend trillions of dollars on eliminating death instead of spending it on pointless wars and other retarded stuff. I don't understand how anyone would want to die. I believe when you die that's it. You cease to
