Elm vs TypeScript Thoughts

Elm and TypeScript

  • Elm Task - An Elm specific implementation of Observables (more limited?)
  • TS and Elm - Once it compiles it usually runs (Provided you're following the warnings provided in either the compiler output (better) or editor (best) )
  • Editor and tooling support?
  • TS and Elm - Typed Langs
  • Most suitable for complete apps, not just a JS compiler
  • Enforces Reactive programming - Angular 2 (Observables) provides the same thing, just not forced.
  • Know TS, know JS. Able to contribute back to the community easier.
  • Object assignment kinda weird: { point | x = 42 } Reason? (overall weird sytnax)

Windows Compilation

I have a lib I am trying to link against at:

hitt\ext\hittsdk\H-ITTSDK_2.0.4\lib\windows\h-ittsdk.dll

It can find the header file at:

hitt\ext\hittsdk\H-ITTSDK_2.0.4\include\H-ITTSDK.h

I have this working on my Mac, but I need to now get it working on windows.

How do you create a jquery plugin that needs to keep state?
$.fn.toggle_field_on_select_value = function(select_input, value) {
toggle = function (){
$select = $(select_input);
$this = $(this);
if($select.attr("value") == value){
$this.slideDown();
}else{
$this.slideUp();
}
}

Deployment Gemfile.lock woes
You are trying to install in deployment mode after changing
your Gemfile. Run `bundle install` elsewhere and add the
updated Gemfile.lock to version control.
You have deleted from the Gemfile:
* guard-pow
* rb-fsevent

Error using launchy with cucumber and spork.

Description

This error occurs when I run this feature with spork. If I run it without spork, then it works as expected.

this would be best optimized as a MYSQL script
#client is a MYSQL::Client object
client.query("SELECT * FROM local_event_attendance").each do |ea|
event = Event.find_by_orig_id(table_prefix + ea["eventID"].to_s + current_import_year.year.to_s).try(:id)
person = Person.find_by_orig_id(table_prefix + ea["memberID"].to_s).try(:id)
Registration.create(
:event_id => event,
:person_id => person,
:created_at => ea["date"],
:uniform => ea["uniform"].to_s.downcase == "yes"
)
