Also on mobile I’d love it if it snapped to the next image as you scrolled through a gallery instead of swooshing by lots at once. The vertical photos also don’t get large enough to see anything in the mobile view. Love the updates for the most part though!

Re: ReactJS : Server side rendering with router v4 & redux

Zach Hale — Fri, 22 Sep 2017 13:05:19 -0000

You'd have to render the routes passed down from a prop like so:


import React from "react";
import { renderRoutes } from "react-router-config";

const AppRoot = (props) => {
  return (
    <div>
      {renderRoutes(props.route.routes)}
    </div>
  );
};

export default AppRoot;

I just discovered your site and have to say your articles on geometry, frame materials, types of parts are extremely concise and well written. Seriously nice job!

Very cool, I'll be looking into this shortly. Thanks for the writeup! Doing this definitely requires thinking harder about data migrations!

Big stuff!

I'm still trying to nail down a repeatable process to grounding myself mentally but for me it's often one of two things. 1) the key being forcing myself away from my computer or iphone binges (minimal use still) for the most of a day, I spend a good part of the day exploring the neighborhood, riding my bike, hiking, running, long walks, or similar with a book (kindle) and a journal reading and walking but keeping the journal for making lists and writing my thoughts. The other thing is spending a few hours focused on going through my brain dump of a todo list that rarely gets reviewed, knocking out little items, reorganizing, getting started on things that need a first step taken and really synthesizing my priorities and organizing the mess in my head about what I'm doing and want to do next. Come to think of it, it may be a combination of those two things (I'm thinking of really mind-clearing sundays of the recent past having pieces of these two things).

Maybe that'll inspire.

A mantra I frequently tell myself and friends overwhelmed with options is that there's no right thing to work on or right place to work or right place to live. There's only one that satisfies the requirements you know today, now and that can help you evaluate one hypothesis of a situation one way or another. If it doesn't work out, that's changeable and something new can be tried.

Beyond the stress, hopefully you can feel some excitement for the freedom you've found. I'm excited for you at least! :)

Re: Proposed Modification to Rake's Discovery of Gem Tasks

Zach Hale — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 09:51:58 -0000

You're right, I misinterpreted! Well that would be a handy addition to Rake, but I don't think it's something they'll include. Can you package it as a gem that you could just include in your Rakefile to make this work? If you do, it'd probably be safer to not monkeypatch Rake, but instead set up your require 'gemtasks' to just do the loading from all the loadpaths?

Also, won't loading everything in your loadpaths load *all* rake tasks for all gems installed, not just the ones being used for the app? That seems like a serious downside to this approach if true. I realize that using something like bundler to run your ruby apps could make this moot, but it's definitely something to consider.

Cool stuff!

Glad to see you're still enjoying Ruby!

You can achieve this very simply without monkey-patching Rake and not imposing any folder structure.

Instead, what I do in all my projects is create a Rakefile in your project root then fill it with something like:

Dir.glob(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "tasks", "*.rake")).each{|file| load file}

That one line will do everything you explained you needed. Simple!

Wow that is shocking and unfortunate. Thank you for recording this and I'm saddened that it's as bad as you describe. Hopefully your other experiences have been much more positive.

I don't know what the backstory on this is, but don't worry! Try not to encourage your brain to continue to manifest your fears! :)
