Kudos on building a fantastic tutorial. Any plans to open source the tutorial tech?

Datamappify seems well architected. Kudos!

Quick question -- how does it handle uniqueness constraints / validations on table columns?

Re: Value types in JavaScript - Baby Steps

Wow. So many words and so much code written about the equality of two objects. In Ruby, this is a solved problem. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/...

W.R.T immutable objects, I'd personally love to see JS (and Ruby) adopt language-level features to support them. For example, stashing immutable objects in a weak hash map could ensure the existence of only 1 new Point({x: 1, y: 1}) object. Furthermore, that object could be garbage collected without destroying it's uniqueness property. Will something like this happen? Given the direction ES6 and 7, I doubt it.

> I think there’s a kind of peer-pressure when you’re deeply embedded in the developer community to switch to the new hotness or fall woefully behind. For instance, I feel like I really ought to be studying Backbone, Angular or Ember right now.

+1. Our backend team needed a companion client framework for Rails, tried out Angular, but then fell in love with React. Confident developers use the right tool for the right job with the right people.

Nice work Aaron! I hope you plan on showing this off at http://cascadiaruby.com/ this weekend.

Wonderful write-up on destruction. Thanks for the refresher. :)

What a pleasant surprise!

Re: What’s the Status, Kenneth? - Rubinius

Sweet! Can we get some details on how the status board is managed? I can imagine it being tied to RubySpec coverage...

BTW - Grandma's Boy anyone?

That would be my guess as well.

The suspense! I'm really looking forward to learning about the 5 new Heroku features.

Re: How to run Background Processes using Resque/Redis in a Ruby on Rails App

Ryan Sobol — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 21:44:10 -0000

Let's assume we have a shared Redis platform (e.g. RedisToGo). Meaning the Rails development, test, staging, and production all connect with the same redis-server. Is Resque smart enough to know to only process jobs that originate from that environment?

Re: Postmodern - Mining RubyGems from Ore

Ryan Sobol — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 19:08:37 -0000

Tools are great! And new tools, like Ore, show us how our current tool adds too much process or requires too much work to maintain. But perhaps my rant obfuscated the real developer **pain** that you, me, and the entire Ruby gem developer community feels --

The suck that is RubyGems.

In a perfect world, the RubyGems and Bundler teams would sit down with consorts from the Ore, Jeweler, Hoe, etc. camps and draft a vision for RubyGems 2.0. You bring up great points about the gemspec process! Will the people who can actually effect change hear it (or listen for that matter)? How many tools, like Ore, are we going to see in a years time until they do?

Re: Postmodern - Mining RubyGems from Ore

Ryan Sobol — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 14:16:20 -0000

Ore looks great! It's built on tools I love to use myself (i.e. RSpec and YARD). The generators look useful and the OreTasks are unobtrusive. I'll definitely consider Ore when planning my next Ruby gem.

You're right about one thing. The Ruby community has had **alot** of discussion lately around gem cutting best-practices. I'm curious, what kind of effect do you think Ore will have on that conversation?

I wonder when we as the Ruby community will finally have that hard conversation we **really** needs to have -- why do we keep inventing new, optional tools (e.g. Ore, Jeweler, Hoe, Bundler to some degree, etc.) to work around the one we're all required to use (i.e. RubyGems)?

Just because it's simple, doesn't mean it's easy. Kudos on keeping your standards high. I will definitely consider Sequel for my upcoming projects. And thanx for sharing insights into your commit-release process. :)

I love it -- Russian ingenuity at it's finest! I haven't looked at the code, but tell me, does this library depend on Ruby 1.9.2 exclusively?
