What's New in Edge Rails: Nested Model Mass Assignment (4)
on
Ryan's Scraps - Blog (20) permalink
Looks like this feature has been pulled from Edge Rails though it’s tentatively scheduled to come back post the 2.2 release. Nested models (nested forms by another name) describe the scenario when you want to create and modify values of nested attributes through a containing model. For instance, if you have an user model with many phone numbers: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 class User < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :login has_many :phone_numbers ...Contribute comment -

Jay Fields' Thoughts (26) permalink
Matt Aimonetti has a client that believes Rubyists don't scale. Sorry Matt, your client is wrong.It's as easy to hire great Ruby programmers as it is to hire great Java programmers or great programmers for any given popular language.The problem is, it's not easy to hire great programmers in any language. Worse, companies still think they need to hire one or two great programmers and a supporting cast of average programmers.

Back when I made $20,000 a year I bought a used Honda Civic. I needed something to get me from point A to point B fairly reliably. I was looking for the best deal given my requirements and I found a Civic that seemed to fit the bill. I had a good advantage as a buyer, I knew what I wanted and I knew approximately what it should cost. The car lasted for several years, ...Contribute comment -

Signal vs. Noise (949) permalink
We circle the on-call responsibility between all the programmers at 37signals. Every day is someone’s day to take care of the technical issues that bubble up from support but can’t be resolved there. And that seemed to work pretty well in the beginning, but we’re starting to think that we need a more systematic approach. The problem with passing the support monkey around is that everyone just wants to get rid of him as soon ...Shared by Aaron (20) adang001 (37) benfulton (6) Bryan Ray (7) Charles Thayer (0) Charles VIARD (64) Dr. Ernie (37) Editweapon (16) gfurry (41) j_b_f (1) joco (25) Jonathan (28) jonezy (10) Karl-Anders (6) Martin Gordon (27) Matt (1) Maurice Svay (14) Mike (26) Phil (15) Phillie Casablanca (21) Ron (25) Roy (18) Scott (20) Sean (13) Sunpech (17) timmow (11) Toby (8) Victor (62)Explore read four notesContribute comment -

“We get it. But our clients would never understand.” It’s a frequent rebuttal to our Getting Real philosophy. Read between the lines and there’s a disturbing undercurrent to that message. It’s really saying, “I get it but these other people could never understand. They don’t have the wisdom and the understanding that I do.” It’s like the way some LA or NYC people sound when they talk down about the masses in the flyover states. ...Shared by Bijou (21) Bryan Ray (7) chrishawn (26) Dan Stowell (20) David Bullock (0) dobata (307) Dr. Ernie (37) Dudu P (39) Edin (32) Elliott P.

Lifehacker (11925) permalink
When you need something done quickly, efficiently, and without any software overhead, the command line is where it's at. It was the first way humans told computers what to do, but as graphics became increasingly important, the command line, or terminal, became an insiders' secret weapon. But with the right commands and a little bit of know-how, anyone can get things done from a text-only interface. Let's take a look at 10 commands and tricks ...Shared by .8.o.8.
