nachteilig

Seems like this addresses a lot of the problems with intro.js.

Thanks!

Thanks.

I like what seems to be the differentiating feature here -- highlighting the actual elements on the page rather than pointing at it.

I'm looking forward to the pull requests that fix some of the style issues (next button etc, as mentioned already).

What's your toolchain for creating svgs? Seems like every time I look at doing this I still have to download some weird third party shareware to convert my photoshop stuff to SVG.

I just started looking at putting together a tutorial, so this is quite timely.

Would have been nice if it had a little more meat.

Thanks.

The password hashing stuff should be really nice in the long run--at least when it's widely used.

PHP in particular seems to have a lot of bad home brew implementations out there, so it'll be nice to have a better default.

This is what I'd be really interested in seeing--a list of good seedbox providers.

Reminds me of why the Danes are said to be very happy--low expectations.

Someone over there might want to take care with leftover bootstrap bits

Last I looked Puma and jruby were the go-to options for threaded stuff.

Plus if you combine S3 with CloudFront you have a very potent combination for uptime

Sometimes people need to be reminded of this. A lot of the representation the press gives seems to imply that people simply walk into money. As usual, pg gives some perspective.

Where's the story here? As education expands all top-tier job markets become more competitive. Science isn't and shouldn't be any different, particularly with the reduced levels of funding available.

Thanks for the link. That was a really fun read.

Looks pretty nice.

For what it's worth, it seems like a lot of the other players in this space have gotten popular by providing tutorials for usage with Rails, PHP, etc.

Might be worth a few paragraphs.

I'm not sure how well you can really obscure it anyway. Anyone who knows what they're doing can still get at the source.

Anyone used his config for nginx? How does his cipher list affect speed?

I had to change the ciphers in nginx a while ago, and was absolutely amazed at how much faster it became.

Good tips.

I get what you're saying, but the thing is that it's really not difficult to get running. Especially on a Mac. Especially now that we have bundler and such. The only thing one really has to manage is ruby versions, and that can be done with rbenv/rvm.

But doing everything in an app really does have the possibility of hurting one's ability to put code into production, even with heroku.

While I'm interested in this (on a similar note, heroku's postgres app has been great for me), it seems like having to install and manage Rails is an important thing for new people to learn.

This is especially true if one wishes to push code to production and so on--even with when using Heroku, one still needs to understand the command line side of all of this.

It's also pretty easy to do these days.

I basically learned Rails by looking at the Spree source, so this would have been incredibly helpful. Thanks!

Great pricing, but it doesn't give me a lot of confidence in their service when it can't survive being linked from TC.

The warranty is what makes this really attractive. I rolled the dice, getting two from ebay, and managed to luck out.

Now I can recommend these to people who are less able to cope with dead pixels, etc. Have to love monoprice for doing to monitors what they've done for cables.

This is actually the first I'm seeing about strong_parameters, since I don't follow Rails 4 stuff much right now. Thanks for the tip!

Worked ok for me - windows chrome

I don't find it _completely_ unusable, but I'll admit that it's pretty frustrating.

I'm not sure that _any_ intro course goes much into this stuff. That's why we take more courses beyond this one if we need more information.

Here's another shout-out for the .38 G-2. This is a great goddamn pen, and I have at least 2 boxes of them in my desk right now.

I'm doing this too, and it's funny because one of the things I originally liked about OS X was that the UNIX roots allowed me to run my dev environment locally.

Still, Vagrant makes this all pretty easy.

Turbolinks still currently breaks a lot of things, including lots of .ready JS stuff.

queues is going to be pretty nice.
