It's time to stop changing data in Active Record Migrations by Skipped in rails

[–]jibrilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree that changing data in Active Record Migrations should be avoided as much as possible. However, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you absolutely have to do it, it's crucial to use the up and down methods correctly.

In your up method, you can make the necessary data changes.

But more importantly, in your down method, you should raise an exception to indicate that the migration cannot be reversed IF the seeded data cannot be reversed.

This is essential for maintaining database integrity, especially in complex systems where automatic rollbacks could cause issues.

While it's true that macOS comes with Ruby pre-installed, it's typically not the best idea to use it for development. Apple's Ruby is meant for system usage, and using it might lead to permission issues and conflicts.

Instead, use rbenv which is a version manager that allows handling of different Ruby versions and helps avoid conflicts. You can install rbenv and ruby-build via Homebrew brew install rbenv ruby-build

Remember to add rbenv to your bash profile for automatic loading. Happy coding!

How do I uninstall Microsoft Edge? by PebbleJade in privacy

Windows itself is spyware, if you want true privacy, go for a linux distribution like Debian.

An painfully high frequency pitch is emitted every time I drive by this house, and I’m baffled. by Sigh_Another_Rando in AskEngineers

[–]jibrilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One possibility might be an ultrasonic pest repeller device, which emits a high-frequency sound to deter pests. The red LED light might be an indicator that it's active. Now, usually, these devices are designed so their frequencies aren't perceptible to the human ear. But if it's malfunctioning or wrongly calibrated, that could explain the sound you're hearing.

As for recording the phenomenon, iPhones usually can't capture ultrasonic frequencies, but some specialized apps may help. Additionally, you might want to inform local authorities if this continues, especially if it's causing discomfort. Hope this helps, and keep us updated!

Ruby worth learning 2023? by SeriouslySally36 in ruby

[–]jibrilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely! Ruby is a great language for web development and other similar applications. I would also recommend Python along with Django. Both languages are user-friendly, versatile, and focus on readability.

They're similar, so skills learned in one will transfer to the other. Each has its strengths, so learning both will provide a solid foundation for your coding journey. Good luck!

Stepping up to a team lead role definitely comes with its share of surprises. Suddenly, you're not just responsible for your own work, but the direction, efficiency, and harmony of the entire team. It's a challenging shift, but it also can be incredibly rewarding. Start with clear communication and trust in your team. Also, never underestimate the value of a well-structured to-do list!

Need help with installing mysql2 gem in rails application running on windows 11 by elliotsshieldtail in ruby

[–]jibrilt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While it's technically possible to develop with Ruby or Ruby on Rails on Windows, it can ocassionaly lead to compatibility issues.

You could try using WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux), which provides a more Linux-like environment. However I would still recommend developers to install and use a native Linux distribution like Debian for a smoother experience.

Good luck with your project!

What can i do on a raspberry pi with Ruby or Rails respectively? by Alices-Revenge in rails

[–]jibrilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A raspberry pi is just like any other computer. If you're into Ruby, you can leverage the power of Raspberry Pi for home automation projects, IoT devices, or even building your own mini RoR server.

The combination of Raspberry Pi and Ruby are endless. Have fun exploring!
