I found this to be quite in-depth for an open source styled course. I didn't finish it as I felt it depended too much on cloud services (which is actually part of the learning process - to get familiar with cloud services) and I was veering away too much from my other interests.
Highly recommended if you are trying to get started with JavaScript or full stack development. My intentions were that I have always been back-end or full stack but my JavaScript skills were always borderline so I intentionally was on the lookout for a JavaScript everything course which would obviously include Node.js.
Click the multi-container tab. Click "open in new tab". Then pick the container. This will give you a blank page in container. Type the url. Boom! The site url will now be attached to that container.
About 100% of the livestock land where I come from is capable of crops except for some edge cases. Not sure where you're getting the 'land used for animal meat is "utterly unusable for crops"' talking point. Could you provide some sources on that?
Every third or fourth plot is growing crops already. It seems to be a matter of choice and usually livestock farms here are based in heritage.
In breaking init news, I was sitting at the bar inside Guthrie's of Somerset (wet county now) the exact moment I read this comment. Tried to login for the first time in a decade to reply at the time but the mobile app doesn't have the account recovery that I could find.
Thought that was petty exciting. On this note, I think I will finally overcome my anxieties and make July the month I finally install Gentoo!
This sounds like a hit piece to me. Too much generalizations that seem to be thinly disguised pre-props for proganda.
We all know that the Danish has one of the best social welfare systems in the world and it is a system created by a government that has one of the highest rates of voter participation in the world. So seems to me that they like what they have. However, some self interested big wigs might have a different idea.
The idea that there is no creativity or inventiveness seems dishonest to me. For one, we are talking about a region that is a small fraction of the population of other nations. It is statistically correct that they are not the "most" innovative region in the world. Yet in fact, they are one of the leaders in software innovation and other tech industry movements. Seems to me they they are statistically ahead of the curve.
Also, all the Danish I've ever met (well the few that I have) are awesome people in general. I'd say that I've had probably the best conversations and times with my Danish friends and the same goes true with many other people from that region. So the rings to me that they are not just happy because of the "welfare state", but because they, unlike the author's narrow reporting, do have a thriving culture.
With that being said, I don't trust the intentions of this article. But that's just my opinion, I guess.
Also, I forgot to mention since I am miles deep in my own program and hoping a couple bottles of wine will assist me in getting this app hammered out, but make sure you have a good git system going. A live repo, a dev repo and a staging repo at minimum. And at "another minimum", you probably at least want these three repos both on your remote server and local server.
Eventually you will want to maybe bring on other developers. Have a good private repo on Github. That is a choice of course. This way you can choose what to merge into your live branches. You just need to find a good groove. Git is beautiful. It really does help in organization of your development process.
And analytics. I'm a bit absent on this. The reason why is that you are a developer. You will eventually know what you want to know and even if you need to bring on another developer due to time constraints and such, you will know how to develop out personalized analytics that you want out of your app. I mean it is almost evolution. You build an app. Then you want to know what's up. You know the app the best so you will develop loggin and analytical methods to provide you with what you want to know. So again. Unless you are looking at a gem that will help you with visualizing what you are going to develop on the analytical side of things, don't get overwhelmed. You know best. You built it. It's beautiful, and if your app is really a hit, you will plug in chug and make it work.
Well, I think good indexing is key. How do you have your indexes. If they are aligned with what is frequently queried then you should be in good shape. A database of 5-10K users isn't difficult these days for any major DBMS. The key lies in the other things attached to the users and items you query. That can run into the millions. Even that is not much, but depending on how many times you query a million row table, it could put a pinch on your optimization.
Good database mechanics is key. That is the most important thing in my opinion. That is really the whole point in rails when you are deciding relationships. The abstraction in Rails when deciding what should be the best model structure is the same thing as deciding what should be the best and most efficient table structure in your database.
The rave about MongoDB is that it (maybe not quote me on this) "cures" the need for the desire multi-dimensional database. However, even with MontoDB's ability to expand due to it's not needing a pre-defined structure and the ability to expand out dimensionally to a certain extent, PostgreSQL (claims anyways) is still more efficient if you correctly index your tables (think about how you will be querying) and create the correct relationships. Build out models. Allow flexibility.
Also, don't forget caching. Redis and performing jobs is key in certain situations. However, don't get caught up in too much hype. Especially those coming from closed source technologies (Not just talking about caching technologies here but everything in general). They will sell and produce an atmosphere of necessity, but do some research first. Don't follow the heard. I am not going to call anyone out on this. Just do the research and think why is that necessary. I've mentioned Redis a few times and maybe that isn't even necessary either.
Most importantly, put your stuff out there. If it crashes, so what! At least you know you have something. And then you will have people who will give you advice in a coherent direction if necessary.
I salute you in your efforts. Now the most important part is put it out there and kick ass!
You may even want to look into Redis which is a cache system.
