Re: Elastic Search with Ruby on Rails | Pluralsight Tutorials

jlecour — Wed, 17 Feb 2016 04:12:22 -0000

Hi Itay

I wrote `self.name.downcase` not `self.class.name.downcase`, and it should output what you want.

About Shield and its proprietary nature, I agree. In fact I'm not sure it's proprietary as in "closed source" but more as "pay to use" like Marvel is.

About the durability of data in databases, almost nothing can be absolutely guaranteed. I wanted to point that caveats and shortcomings of Elasticsearch are well documented in this section of the documentation, which is rare enough to be noted.

A few additional comments :

About the security ; you can use a proprietary plugin called Shield, made by Elastic, the company behind Elasticsearch. I've not used it myself, but it seems quite capable.

About the durability ; with more than 1 node and frequent snapshots (the native backup mechanism) you can achieve some pretty good durability. There is a dedicated page about risks : https://www.elastic.co/guid...

When you define the `Article` class, you should write `document_type self.name.downcase`. Here `self` references the class, so it's useless to instanciate an object and get it's class.

You should change from "Elastic Search" to "Elasticsearch" as it is the proper spelling.

Re: Using Launchd to Manage Long Running Processes on Mac OS X

I'm pretty sure that the syntax and semantics of launchd will remain, but the way you start/stop a service is changing.

Re: Using Launchd to Manage Long Running Processes on Mac OS X

Hi and thanks for the mention.

In case you missed it, in Yosemite (OS X 10.10), Apple replaced the underlying software from the open-source `launchd(3)` by a closed-source implementation named `xpc`.

I didn't find much information about this, but the way you register a service is different, even if in Yosemite, the old `load`/`unload` way is still there for backward compatibility.

De plus ça serait sympa pour eux de mettre un lien direct dans votre article. Vous le faites d'habitudes donc ça doit juste être un oublie.

Re: If you are going to isolate from Rails why not ditch Rails? - Black Matter

Also, a web framework is not just an ORM. Rails provides a great layer between an application and the web : Rack, a router, a lot of security measures, a bunch of convenient helpers for dealing with incoming data, basic authentication, session management, cache management, …

All of this is possible with different projects than Rails, or by cherry-picking Rials sub-projects. But It remains a great boilerplate for a web application, even if you don't use ActiveRecord.

I'm also very eager to use a "final" version or Rom-RB since I tend to separate the data and the framework in my recent applications.

Re: 152 Progress Bar | RubyTapas

I've been using this gem for quite some time and I love it. I often wrap the require an instantiation of the progress bar in a "if ENV['PROGRESS']" conditional to enable it on-demand (and not for rake tasks launched by the crontab).

I've installed rbenv on my production servers and I'm really happy with it. I'm also interested in giving chruby a try, because of its simplicity which is a good thing a a production server.

Re: capistrano_colors has been merged into capistrano | Made by Nathan

I've been using `capistrano_colors` for a long time, and I'm really glad that it's included in core.

Thanks for making thing

Re: Null Objects and Falsiness

jlecour — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:11:00 -0000

My NullObject class had no parent class. If I descend it from `ActiveSupport::BasicObject` (I use Ruby 1.8 here, with Rails 2.3), you're right, I don't need to redefine the `id` method.

Thanks

Hi Avdi,

Thanks again for this post I'm coming back to regularly.

Here a use case I'd like you opinion about.

In a Rails 2.3 app, I have a model with a has_many relation, say Post has_many Comments. In a situation, I want to get the id of the first comment of a post, if it exists.

I can do `first_comment_id = post.comment.first.try(:id)` but its baaaad!

I wanted to use a NullObject (with or without Maybe) but then i get the "object_id" of the null object.

Does it seem OK to explicitly define the instance method "id" on NullObject to return `self`?

I guess that's a situation I'll get only in a Rails 2.3 app because it is aliasing Object#id with Object#object_id + a warning.

Thanks for your input.

Re: hone.heroku.com | Rubygems and the Dependency API

jlecour — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 06:43:38 -0000

I've tried with with a Rails 4.0.0.beta app, with a couple of added gems.
I've tried an initial `bundle` then later a `bundle update`.

Everything worked as expected.

Thanks for your effort on this big issue.

Great visualization.

It may be a dumb question, but what is AP on the yellow/green branch?

Also, are there some blog posts, READMEs, … explaining what are those changes (especially inside General, Future and Security)?

Thanks

This is really interresting. Do you know if something simpler is possible with just an Apache/Nginx module ? That would not give the extra features like benchmarks, … but would be less intrusive in a production environment.

Re: Attention à l’option multi-lignes de Free Mobile

jlecour — Wed, 09 May 2012 03:22:45 -0000

Le problème ne semble pas lié à la carte SIM elle-même, mais au processus d'activation de celle-ci.

Re: Attention à l’option multi-lignes de Free Mobile

jlecour — Tue, 08 May 2012 12:51:06 -0000

J'ai commandé une seconde ligne dès l'ouverture de l'offre (coïncidence). La portabilité s'est faite sans problème et la carte SIM est arrivée dans les temps.

Par contre, depuis 8 jours pleins, il m'est impossible d'activer la carte SIM. La saisie du numéro ICCID indique que la ligne "vient d'être activée" mais ça n'est pas le cas.

Des coups de fils quotidiens à l'assistance de Free n'arrangent rien ; à chaque fois c'est la même chanson : "on est au courant, il y a un bug dans l'activation, il faut être patient".

8 jours que la ligne est coupée, sans répondeur, …

Bravo pour la présentation qui est une des plus volumineuses que j'ai pu voir jusque là.

C'est rigolo car j'avais moi aussi fait une présentation de Git pour un JUG (le MarsJUG à Marseille) il y a quelques mois : http://speakerdeck.com/u/jl...
Elle est beaucoup plus courte : pas de formation à Git, mais discussion autour des workflows. Elle est aussi bien irriguée de schemas de Scott Chacon et de contenus issus du ProGit.

Je n'arrive pas à comprendre ce que fait cette option `--no-overwrite-ignore`dans `git checkout` et `git merge`. Et surtout, bizarrement je ne trouve rien concernant cette option dans la documentation de la v1.7.9

Is it useless, stupid, … to define #empty? #blank? on NullObject, returning true?
