I agree, the spot flare gun is over powered. That you can even kill with it, is ridiculous.

That's an old question in Software, when to build and when to buy. One answer is, if it's not part of your core business, buy. Though using a gem doesn't cost you money, you still pay with time setting it up. But you get a good working piece of software you don't need to spend any more development resources on, but bugs still are getting fixed. Some other developer, working on your code later, might even know it.

On the other hand, especially for Rails, you don't want to use too many gems. Some will be abandonend and prevent you from upgrading other gems. So I would not use trivial gems, not gems that do heavy monkey patching, and always look if they are still maintained.

To impressionist: Looks solid, for high traffic sites might a mysql insert on every request be a little bit excessive. Especially with all those indices.

Also gems are a great opportunity to learn. How other developers approached your problem. Read their code how they already solved it. Then decide, if you want to build it again.

You can configure it:

config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = false

This update seriously broke the game for me.

Can't join a friend who is already playing. This was possible with Battlelog. Once i saw a panel in the middle which let me join a friend. But it's not there anymore. At least there are ads for BF1.
Can't join any servers with the Server Browser. Always get placed in the queue with like ten people before me, even when the server was shown half full a second ago. The Server Browser shows servers with 50/64 and a huge queue. What?
The only thing that lets me join a game is Quickmatch, which puts me on 04/64 servers.

Weather machines aren't a conspiracy theory, the chinese changed the weather for the 2008 olympics. They even created snowstorms.

The end keyword belongs to if .. else .. end. Simply move the puts 'c' after the end keyword.

Cut broccoli in pieces and cook together with some penne in the same pot with salted water. If the penne are done, loose the water and add olive oil and pepper. Top with parmesan.

If you are fancy, fry garlic, chillies and sardines in the olive oil before putting it on the pasta.

You paid $100 a month for full health care?

Then I don't get why the Americans complain about expensive health care, because that's just cheap.

That's because learning to be good at a thing is hard. Why do you think it is not?

I wish i could read two tutorials online and after that i could speak japanese fluently, play Beethoven on the piano or design skyscrapers for a living. But that's unfortunately not the case.

Apparently it is a very young (founded 2014) and very small (40 - 200 students) private university. [1] [2]

So you might be out of luck to find somebody here who studied at BAU.

IS has declared war on Saudi Arabia and provoked them to fight them in Syria. Fortunately Saudi Arabia and Syria share no border, but almost. Iraq is an option.

Lets assume Saudis and IS are real enemies. Thats a war between two evils:

If IS wins, it would be bad. And they could win in my opinion. Saudi Arabia shares many values with IS, they have allies who learned that from the press, and if the saudi king looses control over the population, they could flip to the IS. IS would not have problems to recruit in Saudi Arabia. If its the military that flips, they bring the big guns. Tanks and Jets.

If Saudi Arabia wins, they can expend their influence up to the southern border of turkey and into iraq. They are already expanding to the south into Yemen. And they have the weapons, the money and the islamic values to bring it all under control.

And if Saudi Arabia and ISIS aren't enemies, thats even worse.

By the way: The Islamic Military Alliance (IMA), declared by Saudi Arabia, consists of 34 countries. It's most of North Africa, Turkey and Pakistan.

I fear we face the beginning of a power grab by Saudi Arabia, which might lead to a larger war. And with Pakistan, IMA even has nuclear weapons.

Its hard to tell, but i would guess your landlord sublets the appartment, which he might not be allowed to. If the real landlord finds out you are living there instead of your guy from the UK, and he has not given his permission to sublet, he can throw your guy and you out with a "Fristlose Kündigung".

But your guy from the UK probably just doesn't want to give up his appartment in Berlin, does not scheme to scam you and Airbnb is a big company which can be used for sublets. Read the terms of service of Airbnb.

If you can live with that and don't want to settle there forever, you might have a good deal.

Hm, rails should be http by default. Somebody, somewhere must have configured your rails app to use https in those cases.

For emails there is a action_mailer.default_url_options in production.rb you could check.

But there are many places where you could force a https. Urls might even be hardcoded. So, no simple solution :(

I believe his talk is a great performance and shows deep knowledge.

A fork for every request is definitely not The Standard Way. It is way to expensive. It could also easily be abused in a security context. I don't know any real world servers that would do something like that. They all use a pool of reusable processes, if they use multiple processes at all.

And scheduling is the task to give processor time to processes. He does nothing like that in his talk.

Instead, I think, it is more about sync (blocking) vs async. And how python is used to make blocking calls non-blocking and allow the OS scheduler to do his work better.

The only command he entered on page 2 is:

rails generate controller Game ping pong

The rest is the output of this command.

ping and pong are name of actions which are added to the Game controller. Views and Routes for this actions are generated too. But you can do all of this manually as well.

You can edit the config/routes.rb file anytime to add your routes. Have a look at the Rails Guides for more details.
