I’d run through PragProg’s Agile Web with Rails first, and then The Rails 8 Way if you want a reference. Books are good, but jumping into videos from GoRails or Drifting Ruby might help more with real world patterns and problem solving with

I think I read somewhere else that it is not publicly launched yet, but should be very soon.

Absolutely. I’ve been using rails for almost 20 years, and it’s been mostly a joy to watch it evolve. I will say- there was a short period of time (the webpacker era) where it was losing its allure, but that already feels like a distant mem

If the drones were “authorized to fly by the Federal Aviation Administration”, then why did the same FAA feel the need to temporarily put in place dozens of drone bans over critical infrastructure?

There seems to be a gofundme set up for the author’s benefit. I can’t vouch for the authenticity of it, but I donated to it anyway https://www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-empower-patrick-fealeys...

I uploaded a photo of a helicopter cockpit, flying up the Talkeetna River in alaska, which was very out of focus in the background. It knew exactly where I was, and even mentioned I was in a helicopter. And that it was fall!

Tip for Meta engineers: when your service is failing, don't just log people out and prevent logins. Display a cute image that shows that the service is drastically failing (like a whale or something), and then people will know to stop

I was logged in on mac, and the page refreshed and logged me out without any interaction from me, while I was reading a post. Then I went to check on my phone and I got the "We had a problem with the page you tried to reach." dial

When I read this description, I assumed the skate was attached to the feet like a rollerblade, but after looking at YouTube, it’s more like each foot gets a little foot-sized skateboard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuR-u

My 2008 Rav-4 has 327k miles on it and is showing no signs of quitting. I was planning on giving it up at 300k, but now it’s (by far) my longest relationship, and I’m getting sentimental about it…

I’m at 14TB now. I shoot 4k (and even some 8k) video, and often send all the unedited clips to clients through Dropbox. Once it’s up there and I’ve suffered through the multi-day upload process, why wouldn’t I leave it up there as an off-si

It definitely helped that Denver (and these days Colorado in general) has one of the largest networks of bike paths in the United States. Well beyond bike lanes, the paths are separate from roads and don’t intersect with roads. So all of th

I forgot that Apple was having an event yesterday, and when I saw “Apple Vision Pro“ in headlines everywhere, my first thought was that they were opening an eyeglass store…

I remember seeing the news about this at the time, and wondering how the phrase “Ball’s Deep Impact…” in some headlines made it past the copy editors desk.

Practice makes perfect- I’ve launched and landed while sitting in a floating touring kayak at sea dozens of times with the Mini 3 Pro. I’ve only knicked myself once so far!

After getting hooked by DHH’s “Blog in 10 minutes” (or whatever it was at the time, 2008 or so), I spent a few days in Denver with Mike and Dave (and Nicole!) for Pragmatic Studio’s Rails crash course, and that really opened my eyes to how

No matter what batshit crazy things I stumble upon while running around the internet today, none of them will be as insane as “Chris Coyier was never passionate about coding”. Being “business minded” and “having passion for coding” is not e

I have a 4-cup Mr Coffee maker (definitely purchased for less than $25) that has been chugging along for about 15 years now. I just bought a Breville Nespresso Creatista Plus over the holidays because I got spoiled in Italy a few months ago

I personally think that publications like Adventure Journal are where magazines are heading. They should be able to be a sustainable business, as long as the people running the show truly care about the subject and the medium, AND there is

I was in Seattle for 5 days and had my $8500 mountain bike stolen from within my car (they broke a window to get in), parked in the lot of a 4 Points Sheraton.

I love the idea of editing on an iPad if it means not always having to carry a laptop around, especially on set or while out shooting. But there’s a pretty significant roadblock preventing that workflow- there’s still no way to get your foo
