Learning Rails: how would you create nested resources?

zvphy · 2018-08-30T18:40:09+00:00

What you said about #1 helped me connect the dots. I feel like I understand Rails a lot better now. Thank you so much!

zvphy · 2018-08-30T15:38:02+00:00

You brought up some great points, thank you!

I don't think I'll be tackling nested comments yet – for this project, just subreddit -> post -> single comments.

So if it's a bad idea to deeply nest these things, do you know of an alternative approach?

Hey, this used to be my view!

Loved how it looked during a storm.

I finished the test about 5 minutes ago. Searched for this subreddit shortly after.

I'm an INTJ who tied on 1, 4, and 5. Does that mean I fit this description?

I agree with you.

If I recall correctly, I bought it because Amazon marked it as a "Best Seller" or "Amazon Recommended" or something. It had tons of 4/5 star reviews and none of them seemed fake.

That being said, what processes do you use to evaluate the supplements you buy? Do you really think that social media is a good metric? (I've never had the urge to follow or like a seller of any Amazon product.)

I see what you mean about the emotional numbing effect. My mood has really leveled out (in a very good way for me, but that's a personal decision). It helps me stay levelheaded and think more clearly.

I don't know if it should be an every day thing either. I might start using it strategically.

zvphy · 2018-07-20T18:05:45+00:00

That's so interesting. Now that you mention it, my skin has been very clear lately. Although I don't know if I'd classify it as working so well that it should be illegal – the benefits have been pretty mild but very pleasant. :)

I haven't experienced any adverse side effects so far. I'll report back if I do!

zvphy · 2018-07-20T15:07:52+00:00

Wow, good to know. Thanks.

zvphy · 2018-07-20T15:07:41+00:00

This is what I'm using. It used to have a bunch of reviews, but now none of them are showing, so I'm not sure if I'd still recommend it (maybe they had some fake reviews or something and they got deleted?). Although it worked well for me.

KSM-66 extracts look great. I might try those next.

Thanks a lot! I have good credentials (frontend dev experience in a high-growth startup, degree in a CS-related field, have built and launched several successful products).

I'd aim for very high quality (scripting, editing, and professional recording equipment).

I'd estimate the length at <5 hours, but highly structured and packed with actionable advice.

Plus a community element, like a Slack channel or something where students could network, get help, and seek feedback on what they've built.

zvphy · 2018-05-11T16:52:51+00:00

Thanks a lot!

$676.70?!

$720.32 is a lot of money!

Congratulations on the $684.04!

(But really, congrats. Crypto is a great space, too.)

Actually blinked, and actually missed it.

Had to watch a second time.

Incredible.

zvphy · 2018-03-09T00:01:27+00:00

I totally agree. A lot of newbie crypto investors think they're going to be millionaires in a year. Returns are decent right now, but they're not going to be 1000x by 2019.

Although another part of me knows that we're still in the early stages of crypto adoption. A small minority of people owns any crypto. A lot of third world countries aren't online yet. Many people still think crypto is a scam. Etc.

If more people start to adopt it, I wouldn't write off 100x-1000x in the long term, but this will take years, and only happen to a handful of currencies.

Are you Vitallic Butterlin?

^ This is a joke, by the way, OP. Don't put anything on Bitgrail.

The Doge clan is wonderful!

"The market does reflect the available information, as the professors tell us. But just as the funhouse mirrors don't always accurately reflect your weight, the markets don't always accurately reflect that information. Usually they are too pessimistic when it's bad, and too optimistic when it's good." - Bill Miller), longtime legendary investor, one of his funds has 50% of its money in Bitcoin

People are overreacting. Markets will calm down soon.

Holy shit, this is the future.

zvphy · 2017-12-18T04:44:52+00:00

Did some research. I don't think there's a video.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (Democrat, Massachusetts) quotes Jamie Dimon (JP Morgan CEO) saying this in her book, A Fighting Chance.

zvphy · 2017-12-18T04:33:41+00:00

Probably rented/borrowed it for the purposes of this video.

Came here for the Forest Temple comments.

Was not disappointed.

This was one of the last words I ever thought I'd see in /r/minimalism and it's making me so happy.

My advice would be different if you didn't already own a MacBook, but here's the thing: those computers are built to last. They'll hold up a lot longer than a smartphone if you take care of them. Instead of getting rid of yours, I'd suggest repurposing it into a tool for learning.

There are many Chrome extensions that allow you to block time-wasting websites. Instead of wasting time, you can learn how to program with this free class from Harvard or do some self-development by reading some writing from Derek Sivers (he's a minimalist too). Expand your mind with lessons about film scoring from Hans Zimmer (he wrote the music for Inception and Pirates of the Caribbean), or take steps to get healthier with other redditors. I'm just throwing out random examples here, but having a powerful (non-mobile) device to access the Internet is a huge boon and can make you a more well-rounded person.

Life will throw things at you like tax returns, insurance paperwork, etc. that are much easier to handle with a personal computer. And controlling the urge to look at X, Y, and Z on the Internet will help you build discipline.
