Do you have any insight into how many of your customers buy Sidekiq Pro for the extra features, as opposed to for the commercial-friendly license, or simply to help sustain the OSS…

I could be wrong but it seems to me that only the latest two designs (A Robot Named Jimmy and Verde Moderna) are what would be considered "modern" designs and the rest are from bef…

What's worse is that the two most common languages on GitHub (Ruby and JavaScript) are represented by shades of red/orange. I almost thought one of my repositories was in some kind…

This exact same situation happened to me in the past month. My login page and its assets were copied, right down to the Rails asset digest fingerprints in the filenames as well as …

It's not open-source, but Wheelhouse ( https://www.wheelhousecms.com/ ) is my answer to not being able to find a CMS I could enjoy working with. It's Ruby on Rails based, so that p…

One option would be to use a service object (e.g. UserCreator) which would encapsulate the action (saving a user) along with the action to be taken (delivering a signup email). Wit…

Google is one of many tools that can be used to solve problems. IMO it's generally one of the more efficient ones.

A before_filter is just a method that runs before an action - there's no requirement for it to set an instance variable or redirect. In Rails 4, this method has been aliased as bef…

I don't mean to dwell on the technical issues, but I'd be very curious to hear more about the performance issues you encountered that the Rails Core members couldn't resolve. Was t…

> I'm also north of 90% probable that I could weaponize it to turn any image tag on the Internet into "roots your local machine" Definitely not saying you're wrong, but I'm not con…

I was pretty appalled when I first saw those tweets. I held my tongue at the time (after all, who am I?) but as a member of the Rails community, seeing this sort of behaviour from …

This is pretty much exactly what DHH advocates for, and for a simple case like this (creating a user, sending an email) it works great. At some point though, your controllers are g…

If you are wanting to properly support IE7 (as mentioned in the README), you may want to downgrade normalize.css to 1.0.2 as normalize.css 2.x only supports IE8+. There are only a …

This issue has nothing to do with DRM, and is simply the result of a system that requires an account to be in good standing (i.e. has a valid credit card) before any downloads can …

Ah. In that case I'd suggest extending the map downwards so that the background image is taller. My browser window is roughly 4:3 and the map cutoff detracts from what is a very ni…

Not quite. You've added those to the body element (inline as well, which is a bad idea), whereas the background is on the #wrapper div. I'd suggest moving the background onto the b…

I've been working on a Rails based CMS (Wheelhouse CMS - https://www.wheelhousecms.com ) over the last few years as a side-business to my regular web dev consulting services (and s…

I've found Guard::LiveReload ( https://github.com/guard/guard-livereload ) to work exceptionally well. It's Ruby, but should work alongside whatever development framework you're us…

I believe he refers to error correction as in it corrects errors in the code -- i.e. the code itself should have semicolons and is fixed through ASI.

Compared to onclick, it's certainly a performance benefit. However the difference here is in looping over every matched element to add the handler (bind) versus adding the handler …

I recently released the first version of Wheelhouse CMS - https://www.wheelhousecms.com , which is a Rails-based CMS including WYSIWYG editing, template-based form generation, medi…

I'm considering offering a developer/personal use license but I still need to work out the details. Drop me a line privately and I can set up an evaluation account for you.

Wheelhouse CMS is a project I've been working on for a couple of years now (way too long for a first release, I know), which I've bootstrapped whilst freelancing building content-m…
