I'm a Rails newbie and eager to learn. I welcome any suggestions or criticism you have. You can direct them to my inbox or leave me a comment below.

I finally set myself up with a blog. I mailed my dad the address and mentioned that it was running Typo, which is written in Ruby on Rails. The fact that it is written in Rails was a big factor in my decision. I am currently reading Agile Web Development With Rails and it will be great to use Typo as a learning tool, since I will be modifying my blog anyways regardless of what language it's written in.

UPDATE: I got everything working and it's all packaged up here. There's an installation script this time as well.

Thanks to a helpful thread on the TextMate mailing list I have the beginning of a solution to insert text at 2 (or more) locations in a file.

UPDATE: This is obsolete, see this post for a better solution.

Duane's comment prompted me to think about how to get the drop_table and remove_column lines inserted in the right place. I don't think TextMate's snippets are built to do this sort of text manipulation. It would be nicer, but a quick hack will suffice for now.

Use MCDT to insert:

Add the amazing convenience Rails builds on top of Ruby and that's a really hard combo to compete with. I'd love to be using mixins instead of mucking around with abstract classes and interfaces, neither of which will just let you share a method between different classes. Writing proxy methods in these tiny in-between classes is annoying.

Though Ruby is highly dynamic and compiled at runtime, that doesn't preclude one catching some mistakes at compile time. I'm not talking about mere syntax errors or anything either. The only proviso to catching mistakes at compile time is that you must have a decent chunk of code executed during compilation. One benefit of Ruby's blurring of compile time and runtime is that you can run real code at compile time. This is largely how metaprogramming tricks are pulled off elegantly and with ease in projects such as Rails. Sure you won't get all the benefits of a strictly and/or statically typed compiler, but you can get some of them. If you have a library that makes substantial use of executing code at compile time then the mere act of loading your library causes your code to run, thus it compiles. If you require your lib and get true back then you know the code that bootstraps the runtime code is at least partially correct. diff --git a/public/posts/2007.08.21-cheat-productively-in-emacs.md b/public/posts/2007.08.21-cheat-productively-in-emacs.md index 4f03724..9dc7009 100644 --- a/public/posts/2007.08.21-cheat-productively-in-emacs.md +++ b/public/posts/2007.08.21-cheat-productively-in-emacs.md @@ -1,10 +1,3 @@ -Title: Cheat productively in Emacs -Date: August 21, 2007 -Timestamp: 1187720400 -Author: sjs -Tags: Emacs ----- - By now you may have heard about cheat, the command line cheat sheet collection that's completely open to editing, wiki style.
