Should be fun. I'll be there. They supposedly have a mobile app so you can contact dealers by text to easily find what you're looking for!

This is very useful for prototyping. Thanks for doing it!

Adam, Great article. Were your tests primarily using document.write or also using domready triggered events? for example, with dynamic navigation using document.write, would you expect to see the same google results if the menu was created with domready events?

Re: How to split routes.rb into smaller parts?

Using config.paths["config/routes.rb"] in a 4.2 app and it works fine. (Notice the '.rb' addition compared to the example in this post)

Re: Tagging With ActiveRecord and Postgres - Monkey and Crow

our rails migrations have created character datatypes, for both array columns and normal strings (t.string :name) so perhaps ur right that we're getting 'lucky'.

schema : name | character varying(255)[] | default '{}'::character varying[]

for anyone following along.

Great write up. You mention type mismatch when using varchar instead of text. on PG 9.3 I'm not having any problems using && operator. Has that been fixed in recent versions?

ok. i think of 'scope' in terms of variable availability, not the variable's value, but I get your point. perhaps just semantics. Thanks. Great screencast. (fwiw, it would be awesome-er to have snippets of the code on the page (or linked to github, maybe as successive commits) so we can listen and browse at the same time)

~12 min: did myObject.largeArray really go out of scope or did u just set its content to [] ? seems like the latter.

Good explanation and esp. liked that you add the init method via the prototype.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned what I think is the biggest gain by the refactor: improved unit testing. Imagine a slightly more complex example (perhaps a condition like 'signed_in?'), for example, and consider how you'd stub the original method in a unit test. What would your tests look like when you try to test each condition ? Perhaps the additional LOCs become weighty in this example, but the unit testing benefits are clear.

Good job, Franklin.

Some examples would be very helpful. Esp. obvious examples like "free space remaining is less than x", "memory consumption is over y", etc.

good explanation of [].slice.call, which as you say, is seen in many js libs. Thanks.

Re: Tagaholic - Hirb Tips For Rails

Luke W — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:18:18 -0000

how about adding an option to globally hide fields such as created_at, updated_at. something like
Hirb.global.hide :output => {
:options=>
:fields=>%w{created_at, updated_at, created, modified}
}
}
