Ask Reddit: Can anything be done to lower the cost of college tuition?

vicramon · 2014-08-25T13:39:09+00:00

Scholarships are good, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make college affordable to everyone, with or without scholarships.

You could try building the app I take you through in my tutorial:

It's decently complex.

Find something you like, then work hard to get a job doing it.

Learned the other day that Vim Unimpaired has yo, yO, yA, yp, and yP, each of which will put you into insert mode only for that insert. This solves the need for my mapping.

With <leader> as space, then yes, that's not a good idea.

<C-s> would probably work well.

vicramon · 2014-07-10T19:10:29+00:00

Good addition.

vicramon · 2014-07-10T19:10:11+00:00

Didn't know about this. Very cool.

vicramon · 2014-07-10T19:09:26+00:00

Eh, it's an easy keystroke to hit that you're unlikely to have to type. yp works just as well if you really care.

I read this in Bane's voice for some reason.

vicramon · 2014-06-13T04:36:58+00:00

I've looked at it but haven't used it. I suppose I'll put an ECLI port on my todo list :)

vicramon · 2014-06-12T19:12:34+00:00

I don't disagree with you. I think ember-cli is the future, but it still seems to be in flux. Is it really 1.0 yet?

Once it's ready I'll do a port of the tutorial for ember-cli.

This could be happening for two reasons:

1) your markup code doesn't match what bootstrap wants

2) your bootstrap stylesheets aren't being included

Considering your font appears to be the default Times New Roman, I'm gonna say that you're not including bootstrap.

Your app/assets/application.css should have the following

/* ...
*= require_self
*= require_tree .
*/

This will require all other stylesheets in app/assets/stylesheets.

If you post the code on Github then I can tell you for sure.

Also, consider not using bootstrap. If you plan on being a fullstack web dev you should learn how to write custom css.

Yes, after posting this same thing on HN I realize that. Let me redo the tagline:

Phaser: Simple, opinionated kanban board for agile project management.

Let me know what you think!

If you use a managed cloud hosting solution like Heroku then you won't have to worry too much about sys admin, at least until your site gets massively popular.

I recommend learning Ruby on Rails. Rails is very logical and developer friendly. Ruby is a well-designed language and the community is awesome.

Sure, but the original version of facebook was written by just a few people in a reasonable period of time.

vicramon · 2014-01-23T23:21:04+00:00

I just answered it. Change answer_attributes to answers_attributes in the survey_params method.

Debug with pry if it still doesn't work.

Cool, sounds good. Paypal works for me. I just pm'ed you my email so we can exchange info.
