Re: Scaling a Ruby on Rails app on Heroku

Interesting, yeah that's not what I think when I read that. At some point your application would process requests, and no matter how you offload, you'd never want to decrease the performance. I know that's not what you mean, but that's how I read it. Regardless, nice post!

Decrease application throughput

I think you mean "Increase application throughput"?

Re: Connecting Elm to Phoenix 1.4 with webpack

jc00ke — Tue, 08 Jan 2019 17:22:53 -0000

This was super helpful, thank you! The one thing I had to change was the import statement in app.js
- import Elm from "../elm/src/Main.elm" + import { Elm } from "../elm/src/Main.elm"

I'm using Webpack 4 with elm-webpack-loader 5.

Does dogma get wired up by default to Neomake or do you have to do something like you did for Credo? Great writeup!

Re: Using Vim as `$MANPAGER`

Maybe it's something to do with fish or neovim, but these didn't work for me. However, https://github.com/nhooyr/n... did work. Either way, great idea!

Please remove the "pimp your mocks" part. The whole "pimp" thing isn't appropriate. Thanks.

Re: Will You Upgrade to Ubuntu 15.04

jc00ke — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 20:47:16 -0000

I spent about 5 hours this morning trying to fix my networking after an in-place upgrade. Had to "reinstall" over the upgraded install. Total PITA and I can't recommend upgrading.

It'd be nice if you could return the NullData itself instead of nil. That's one of the benefits off the Null Object pattern: it stands in for nil.

Re: Water Avenue Coffee

Wi-Fi speeds were *really* bad for me (Xubuntu on a Samsung laptop) and fantastic for my friend sitting next to me, on a newer MacBook Pro. I emailed WEBbeams support and was very impressed! Ericka from WEBbeams flipped a few switches and my speeds went up to normal (had something to do with the QoS setting) and said the hardware was old so she'd try to send out a new router soon.

Point being, I wasn't going to go back since I couldn't get work done, but WEBbeams really kicked ass, and now Water Ave is one of my goto places.

Re: OpenConnect with CSD | Eugene Yunak's rants

jc00ke — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 13:01:16 -0000

I wasn't ever able to get OpenConnect to work, but I did figure out how to get Cisco's client to actually connect. Kinda crazy, with the firewall crap. Notes up here: http://j.mp/cisco-anyconnec...

I would definitely have preferred to use OpenConnect... :-(

It is, thanks Eugene, I'll give it a try!

Hey Eugene,

I'm trying to get OpenConnect to work on Xubuntu. I'm close, in that the Java app is popping up and it also can't find SwordFish.jar (who wrote this crap?)

Would you mind sharing your exact folder/file structure and command line invocation? I feel I'm close but I'm missing something.

Thanks! Jesse

I wrote the Angular code and it's not very good ;)

Back then the documentation wasn't great and there weren't a lot of good examples. That, coupled with the need to ship led to less-than-maintainable code. Thomas is experienced with Backbone so it made sense to switch.

Matt, would you mind snapping a screenshot and sending it to connect@watsi.org? Thanks!

Hi! Yeah, we don't have much up there now. Others have asked why we don't open source our app, and one of the main reasons is that it's very (like 100%) specific to us. It's not a general purpose crowdfunding platform like https://github.com/catarse/... it's built with our needs in mind.

That being said, we'll open source libraries we write that might be useful to others. Kinda like the Github approach.

Thanks for asking!

Re: Private: Help us find new places to get some work done

I've worked there a bunch. Varied workstation choices (bars, tables and comfy chairs) and a place for kids to play. +1

I work from Ford Food + Drink in the Ford Building on SE 11th and Division several times a week. There's always room, and they have a few bars if you like to stand while working.

Palio is a nice place, but the wifi cuts out on me a good amount. It might be an Ubuntu thing though.

Now `master` is a specific n version:

$> bundle
Your rbx version is 2.0.0.n207, but your Gemfile specified rbx 2.0.0.rc1

How do you suggest we handle nightlies locally if they're not available on Heroku?

Yes, that's true. There's no financial return expected. They want to help us expand to our fullest potential, and we need some capital to do that.

Re: Using Sidekiq to send emails asynchronously

jc00ke — Sat, 20 Jul 2013 15:34:55 -0000

It should. If it doesn't, please open a ticket. I believe Mike has been upgrading The Clymb (or an internal app) to Rails 4 and I don't think he has any issues in Sidekiq he hasn't fixed already.
