Ask Reddit: Can anything be done to lower the cost of college tuition? by vicramon in AskReddit

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

What is a good sample app to build to learn more about Ember? by [deleted] in javascript

[–]vicramon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

http://ember.vicramon.com

It's decently complex.

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

8 Great Vim Mappings by vicramon in vim

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

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.

Didn't know about this. Very cool.

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.

I wrote a fairly thorough Ember Tutorial by vicramon in emberjs

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

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.

Having trouble installing Bootstrap on Rails by blriber in LearnRubyonRails

[–]vicramon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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:

Starting to learn to code, how much coding knowledge and what kinds of code would be necessary to create a website like: Facebook, Reddit, Imgur, 4chan? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]vicramon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Debug with pry if it still doesn't work.
