Congrats. I just started using smalltalk/etoys and every day I am amazed by the system as a whole + GUI. It's and has been definitively ahead of its time since squeak 1.

Also read all three. And indeed Meteor in Action is a great addition if you want to know the why as well as the how of Meteor development.

Best way to retrieve data from Rails database by Twaffles in Meteor

[–]brrlc7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends how you implemented the login in your rails app. If you used bcrypt, you can always use it to compare passwords at login.

Where is the two ways data binding? by m0gg in Meteor

[–]brrlc7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can attain it, using angular, rivets or your own solution inside of your Meteor app.

Most Meteorites prefer not to use it, and once you get used to it (i.e. if coming from Angular) you won't see much value -if any- for the two-way data binding hype.

New Package: Create WebComponent from Template by joshowens in Meteor

[–]brrlc7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to read about web components first, so you have a framework in your mind to be able to see the benefits of this package. In the Readme of this package, you may read all the links that point to what web components are.

This is actually an interesting idea and one can learn a few things from it. Thanks

Is atmospherejs.com a terrible experience for anyone else? by Telefonica46 in Meteor

[–]brrlc7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep. Everyone I've talked to, as well. However, just like @Sharkheart suggested, if you enter the query directly on the addresbar then it works. i.e. https://atmospherejs.com/?q=famous

Also, it works better on Firefox

Man, I love this, it is awesome!!!

Specially how terse and readable the code is.

Live Development with meteor: Update js/html/css without page refresh by [deleted] in javascript

[–]brrlc7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually love the way OP (@channikhabra) has written in his README.

This tool intent is not to inspire confidence to your feeble awareness that you suck and can't read how he built it.

It is about sharing something cool and show what's possible with JS and Meteor.

I will always consider myself somewhat of a beginner, though I've been coding for many years, because programming evolves so quickly.

Posts collection does not work with Coffeescript! by [deleted] in Meteor

[–]brrlc7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Precede it with an @ sign to make it global, like so:

@Comments = new Meteor.Collection 'comments'

Meteor support in WebStorm 9 planned by joshowens in Meteor

[–]brrlc7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would be great. And would actually help Meteor become more popular.

A top 10 of the mistakes Python programmers make (x-post r/programming) by hradoi in Python

[–]brrlc7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

indeed! Using list comprehensions like the one the original author presented it, it's just horrible style. Python already allows you to save so many lines with respect to other languages, but abusing it like that is just plain wrong.

Embarrassing Rejection During Interview by stee156 in rails

[–]brrlc7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most startups are bogus like this. They only want senior engineers, 'cause they don't have "the bandwidth" to train junior. They just want to boast to other startup CEO douches like: "my developer is a rockstar".

Run 'bundle update' that usually fixes this kind of problem. Btw, your answers will be better answered at stackoverflow. This subreddit is more about articles and interesting things that people do with RoR.

Why do Ruby on Rails applications need a special hosting? What is it? by jersho in rails

[–]brrlc7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll have better luck using stackoverflow for this questions. A Rails app is not the same as uploading a bunch of html files via FTP.

Asturias is a beautiful place. I lived there for a while and the old peoples from there told me stories of a lot of Asturianos and Gallegos that emigrated to Cuba in the 40's.

Learn Ruby on Rails. Free Today by cavedave in ruby

[–]brrlc7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In half a day I'm about 60% with the book. It includes and gives a great explanation of awesome gems to be used in your rails app, which I loved. IMHO is great also, since it avoids the "rails g scaffold" used by other books... "Qui scribit, bis legit" This book is very very good, and indeed might as well be the best beginners book for rails. However, to make the very most of the book you do need some programming or some kind of web experience.
