This reminds me of the party game Telestrations where players go back and forth between drawing and writing what they see. It's hilarious to see the result because you anticipate what the next drawing will be while…
Thanks! Glad to help.
All is better. I still plan to blog about the burnout.
I wouldn't expect to be mentioned in the documentary, but thanks for the shout out. :)
Thank you all for the kind comments! The Rails community has always been supportive to me. Even criticisms were done in a constructive manner. I will go into detail on why I stopped RailsCasts in part 3, but I will say…
Graded Go Problems for Beginners A bit of a cheat answer. The book here represents the game of Go. I found getting into this hobby helped in problem solving other areas of my life since it exercises analyzing many…
Kent Beck wrote up a workflow along these lines called test && commit || revert. The idea is any change that makes the tests pass is committed, any change that makes the tests fail is reverted.…
A couple more suggestions: - Option to lock scrolling so they both scroll at the same time. - Button to flip them in place to help see the differences.
Interesting, I ended up with Fira Mono and my current font is also DejaVu Sans Mono which I also like better. The @ sign does it for me.
Reliability isn't as good for me as the 2015 MacBook Pro. My 2019 16" doesn't register presses that are near the edge of the keys like the 2015 model did. Perhaps it's related to the travel distance. It is my biggest…
Update 2: To help make amends, DigitalOcean donated $5,000 to an open source project of my choice. I chose Stimulus Reflex. Nate and team have done an amazing job. What a classy move DO, thanks!
Update: DigitalOcean sent a thoughtful apology and is willing to continue sponsoring RailsCasts. While I do appreciate their years of sponsorship in the past, I have no plans to go back.
Well, since you asked for details, here they are. :) I posted a separate comment at the root with details.
Here are the details for those interested: I received an automated email September 2 stating charges were accumulating on my sponsored DigitalOcean account. This has happened in the past so I assumed it was a fault due…
It's a long story, but in summary: they pulled sponsorship without notifying me, charged me for hosting while I asked what was going on (they took forever to respond), and shut down the site for a few hours during…
I plan to cover more billing/payment topics in future Pro episodes, thanks for the suggestion!
Sorry for the downtime, there was an unrelated DDOS attack on my host's network. http://status.linode.com/
If you are having trouble subscribing, please let me know. ryan@railscasts.com Also, PayPal support will be coming soon which should make signup easier for international.
I want to keep the experience the same as possible with the free episodes without losing any conveniences such as browsing the source code. If one finds the source code interesting, hopefully he will subscribe to watch…
I am talking with Eifion to integrate ASCIIcasts more into RailsCasts. Keep an eye out for that.
I've gathered up the changelog entries into a gist: https://gist.github.com/958283
Thanks for the clarification. I misunderstood your post as saying GitHub's project pages don't rank well in Google in general. I agree that a custom project page allows you to better target other keywords (such as…
I disagree that GitHub's project pages "suck for SEO". GitHub's pages rank quite highly on Google. A search for "cancan" for example returns my project as the first result. A search for "homebrew" returns GitHub's page…
There are very serious security blunders here, but I wouldn't go as far as the article to say it needs a complete overhaul. Here are a few example fixes. 1. Most of the XSS errors should be handled by Rails 3…
