Setting up and installing rbenv, ruby-build, rubies, rbenv-gemset, and bundler

Setting up and installing rbenv, ruby-build, rubies, rbenv-gemset, and bundler

This guide enables you to install (ruby-build) and use (rbenv) multiple versions of ruby, isolate project gems (gemsets and/or bundler), and automatically use appropriate combinations of rubies and gems.

TL;DR Demo

# Ensure system is in ship-shape.

aptitude install git zsh libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

How to copy production database on AWS RDS(postgresql) to local development database.
  1. Change your database RDS instance security group to allow your machine to access it.
    • Add your ip to the security group to acces the instance via Postgres.
  2. Make a copy of the database using pg_dump
    • $ pg_dump -h <public dns> -U <my username> -f <name of dump file .sql> <name of my database>
    • you will be asked for postgressql password.
    • a dump file(.sql) will be created
  3. Restore that dump file to your local database.
    • but you might need to drop the database and create it first
    • $ psql -U <postgresql username> -d <database name> -f <dump file that you want to restore>
  • the database is restored

Enables PostgreSQL interval datatype support (as ActiveSupport::Duration) in Ruby on Rails from 4.1 to 6.0

# we can't inject anything into it, so we create an alias around it so calls to it will call

Simplified example to demonstrate how to Mock a FileList for unit testing purposes.
// Method to test
public uploadFileList(files: FileList) {
// whatever
}
// Test
it("uploadFileList", () => {
const blob = new Blob([""], { type: "text/html" });
blob["lastModifiedDate"] = "";
blob["name"] = "filename";
