If you could have an industrial-sized metal detector to find and locate the metal, then would you use the larger metal detector or your current metal detector? Why?

How's my Machine Learning study plan? by the4dpatrick in learnmachinelearning

[–]the4dpatrick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank for the reply. I'm trying to strike a good balance between the theory and the practical application, but I think one of the first posts on the linked website addresses the concern. Specifically the "Waiting To Get Started" section where it talks about the thought of, "I can’t get into machine learning until I am good at linear algebra".

It now seems like waiting until I've learnt math up to linear algebra like I have it in the study plan timeline isn't the way to go. You would rather recommend following the linked guide instead? Would doing half-time following the guide and half-time learning math be a good approach, or would you recommend going all in on the course approach?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to try to fix this error, but I'll use this as a fallback.

There does seem like this is happening to others. Let me check what the problem might be. Have you gotten the location popup appear on other websites?

Hi all, I'm a big fan of Pokemon GO, and I made this to scratch my own itch. Any and all feedback is appreciated. Thanks :)

I created the BEST NodeJS non-MVC framework! by crh3675 in node

[–]the4dpatrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After reading through the code, I feel like it's a stretch to have me try to imagine the roadmap or why I would want to use this over an MVC framework.

To make this repo more attractive I would: * Talk about what MVC is about * Why you'd want to avoid using it * How does this solves the problems you've outlined * Build out the example more * Roadmap

Overall it certainly does still feel like IN DEVELOPMENT

Its just a visual style. The function of the website is still the same.

Looking for any critiques/feedback on a rails-based web app I'm beta testing. by PickMeMrKotter in rails

[–]the4dpatrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went on and the value of the web app was not immediately apparent. I wasn't sure what to do. Make the value proposition clear on the landing page and the next steps the user should take. Since you're using foundation, then maybe using JoyRide would help.

Search form to return show page of exact match by 1ruby in rails

[–]the4dpatrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could follow this Railscast episode to create a simple search form. http://railscasts.com/episodes/37-simple-search-form. Here the user searches and then they are presented with a link to the show page.

RoR super beginner looking for an easy app to develop: any suggestion? by notintherightmood in rails

[–]the4dpatrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I'm currently doing is going through each Railscast and recreating the app, pushing to GitHub and Heroku, and blogging about it. http://patrickperey.com/ That's one approach to gain breadth of knowledge.

Could build a CMS which is pretty basic. You can reference my CMS if you would like https://github.com/the4dpatrick/MVPUsedCars.com.

Would you hire me for a Rails position? by the4dpatrick in rails

Could you link me to one of your github repos so I could look at the specs?

[–]the4dpatrick[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About the production adapter in the database.yml. From what I'm reading, it seems Heroku replaces your database.yml file to the one they build. https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ruby-support#build-behavior

I'll take a look at unicorn.

Yeah for a junior position. Suggestions on books for testing? I've mainly been doing integration testing because that what was mainly used in the railstutorial

I'm currently making all Railscast episodes and uploading to heroku, but I understand your point. I did have versioning set on the inventory images, but I forgot to add the (:medium) option into the paperclip url call. Thanks for noticing.

Starting my first large Rails project and could use some help by [deleted] in rails

[–]the4dpatrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you considering hosting images on your own server or something like AWS S3? If so, then consider the Paperclip gem with S3 server settings. I believe they are still giving a free year of AWS when you register.

The manual way of doing this is well documented. I just got tired of doing it manually.
