str = "Today we (professors + teaching assistants) proctored a midterm exam for a class of about 80 students. There was undoubtedly a 'hardest' question on the exam, since nearly the entire classroom of students asked us how to proceed with that question. To be fair, we didn't give any hints, but it was clear that one had to use a definition to be able to proceed."

Uploading files to TextMaster

TextMaster uses AWS S3 for storage, so s3-compatible libraries/toolkits can be used (for example, EvaporateJS). However, it is quite simple to do it with a basic HTTP client library, which is capable of doing GET/PUT requests.

The process consists of 4 steps:

  1. Obtain a file you want to upload
  2. Construct HTTP PUT request that will upload the file
  3. Obtain a signature for the upload request
  4. Send the signed request

When running this command for the first time

$ bundle exec rake db:create

you may get this error

Couldn't create database for {"adapter"=>"postgresql", "encoding"=>"unicode", "pool"=>5, "username"=>"tulenmenu", "password"=>"tulenmenu", "database"=>"tulenmenu_development"}

FATAL: role "tulenmenu" does not exist
