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 development? You've added new features to Sidekiq Pro

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 before the relaunch.

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 of error state when I first opened it in the new

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 the Google Analytics code, which is how I discovered them. I

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 power is always there when you need, but it then adds a flexi

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). With external observers, it's not always obvious whether they a

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 before_action to make this clearer. Since the behavior of this

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 there ever any resolution apart from downgrading to 2.x, and

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 community leaders is frustrating and kind of embarrassing, a

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 going to grow. Multiple code paths depending on the data subm

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 few edge cases that are affected but they can bite if you we

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 be made. Obviously this is an issue that should be fixed, bu

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 nice design.

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 body element, and adding the background-size definitions to t

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 using.

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 to a single element further up the DOM tree (delegate).

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.

Even if it is gamed, it still proves the original point: that "the applicant cares a bit more about presentation than the average programmer that submits his resume in .doc format."
