Swami Atma on #415 Upgrading to Rails 4 2013-05-07 01:32:01

I did not know about Railsdiff. It's fantastic.

Swami Atma on #258 Token Fields (revised) 2012-05-06 03:26:03

TokenInput seems great. It strikes me as a great solution for tags. Any comments on this?

Swami Atma on #312 Sending HTML Email 2012-01-06 02:25:02

Did you add the CSS stylesheet to the list of assets to precompile in the production environment file?

These videos don't play well in Firefox on my souped up MBP 17". i have to use Safari or Chrome.

Swami Atma on #293 Nginx & Unicorn (pro) 2011-10-26 02:59:02

But are there any clear instructions on how to do so George? Please see my question on SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7867574/rails-3-1-1-http-streaming-with-apache-passenger

I'd appreciate it if you could point me to some good reference.

Swami Atma on #290 SOAP with Savon 2011-10-17 10:30:10

Exactly and Ryan's pronunciation is ... ahem ... pas tr

Swami Atma on #147 Sortable Lists (revised) 2011-10-14 03:32:03

If that's the only feature you'd want from acts_as_list it seems a better solution.

Swami Atma on #51 will_paginate (revised) 2011-10-07 00:05:12

          ruby
        
ModelName.limit(100).paginate etc...

Swami Atma on #278 Search with Sunspot 2011-08-08 03:06:03

Good cast Ryan. Any reasons to prefer this over thinking_sphinx?

Swami Atma on #267 CoffeeScript Basics 2011-05-23 05:03:05

You should not. You just have the option if it seems worthwhile to you.

Same arguments apply to moving to any higher level language.

Swami Atma on #266 HTTP Streaming 2011-05-18 05:02:05

Thanks Dan.

Swami Atma on #266 HTTP Streaming 2011-05-16 23:39:11

Same question. Does the combo Apache/Passenger support treaming?

Swami Atma on #266 HTTP Streaming 2011-05-16 01:24:01

You gain much speed for the first visit by a user and also the grouping of all js files and all CSS files into one compressed files reduces the number of requests by quite a bit.

A Rails 3 and before app would be quite slow from the viewpoint of the front end user experience and streaming should help a lot.

Swami Atma on #265 Rails 3.1 Overview 2011-05-11 06:20:06

I think the new design is superior is terms of usability, navigation and a number of other ways.

On the purely aesthetic and artistic level, it's poorer than the previous one and could be so much better.

What would be needed is to keep the same organization and structure but have a pure designer changing the overall look, logo, etc.

BTW I'm also a huge fan of Ryan and his Railscasts so please take it as a constructive criticism.

Swami Atma on #255 Undo with Paper Trail 2011-02-28 02:36:02

That was great Ryan. I will implement this gradually to all my projects starting today.

Swami Atma on #245 New Gem with Bundler 2010-12-20 02:14:02

Wonderful Ryan. It's a great idea to revisit old topics showcasing the new improved ways to do things.

Swami Atma on #244 Gravatar 2010-12-13 01:44:01

It's okay Ryan. Easy episodes once in a while is just fine.

I'm already using Gravatars but I learned a couple things from this cast.
