YARMOUTH - Think of one of the most popular trending shows on TV that features a family full of characters manufacturing duck calls.
If you know a similar family in Nova Scotia involved in the distribution side of fisheries, Andre Doucet wants to hear about them.
Doucet works with production companies in various roles - from producer, director, camera or editor, depending on the project. His production company is casting across Nova Scotia in search of talent for a new reality show.
ãIãm looking to put together a ãDuck Dynastyã style show with an East Coast flavor,ã he said.
Heãd like to find a family-run business within the fisheries that has different elements. A distribution plant would be ideal for his purposes.
ãIt would be the center of everything with sub-characters (stories) with the fisherman, truckers, buyers, etc.,ã he said.
ãThe south shore is full of fun characters and Iãm looking to find the right fit that would make a show East Coasters could be proud of.ã
Doucet says heãs open to talking to anyone who has a unique business or story. Rather than hold auditions he wants to try to find and talk with people on the phone first.
ãIf I can find the right fit then Iãll fly down to meet them in person,ã he said.
Liverpool born and raised, he still has family and friends on the South Shore.
He lived in Halifax for five years selling for Hillcrest Volkswagen and moved to Toronto to study film production at the Toronto Film School seven years ago.
As a camera operator he has worked for shows like Campus PD, Ex Wives Rock, Building Bryks and Super Groups.
Learning from each production, Doucet began developing concepts and in 2012 Travel Channel US commissioned two episodes of his concept titled ãI Bet My Life.ã He worked as producer on these episodes, filming in Monaco and Aruba.
ãI would love to develop something out of N.S.,ã he said.
To contact Doucet, visit his website or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Minimum Wage CrueltyWritten by Walter Williams
Which allows an American Samoan worker to have a higher standard of living: being employed at $3.26 per hour or unemployed at a wage scheduled to annually increase by 50 cents until it reaches federally mandated wages at $7.25? You say, "Williams, that's a stupid question. Who would support people being unemployed at $7.25 an hour over being employed at $3.26 an hour?" That's precisely the outcome of Congress' 2007 increases in the minimum wage. Chicken of the Sea International moved its operation from Samoa to a highly automated cannery plant in Lyon, Georgia. That resulted in roughly 2,000 jobs lost in Samoa and a gain of 200 jobs in Georgia.
American Pride, Gratitude, and WorkWritten by Steve Farrell
I've always been proud to be an American, proud about her independent spirit, her inspired — even Providential — founding, her many heroes during those difficult early days and the difficult days and years that followed, proud of all those men and women of vision, virtue, and action who knew the score and stood up for the truth when it was popular, and when it was not, when it cost little, and when it cost everything.
Government and the Price of GasWritten by Dennis Behreandt
Gas is getting expensive again. A year ago, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report, the price of a gallon of regular unleaded was $2.051. That was a reasonable price, one, relatively speaking, that did not hurt American pocketbooks.
The TSA and Its Whole-body ScanningWritten by Becky Akers
If you heed the mainstream media, you'll conclude that terrorists are as plentiful and pestilential as politicians. Reinforcing that misperception is the $52 billion of our taxes the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) annually spends. And the policies and procedures at one of the DHS's sub-bureaucracies, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), presume that bad guys swarm our airports, scheming to blow every flight sky-high.
"You are a letter from Christ, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts" (2 Corinthians 1–4). These words aptly conclude the wonderful Christian family drama Letters to God, directed by David Nixon (Fireproof) and Patrick Doughtie. Inspired by the true story of Doughtie's son, who was diagnosed with brain cancer, Letters to God is a tale of redemption, faith, and love, one whose message is unparalleled by any other film.

Best Miami Dolphins Player (2004)
Adewale Ogunleye
The Dolphins couldn't score last year, couldn't throw, couldn't catch, couldn't return kicks. They did, however, play some defense. The 'Fins gave up only 16.3 points a game, third in the NFL, and were fifth against the rush. For those spare blessings, give a steaming slab of credit to Ogunleye, he of the AFC-leading 15 sacks and Pro Bowl start at defensive end, where he and Jason Taylor formed a formidable pass rush. Once in each of the past two years, he's been named AFC Defensive Player of the Week, and his $375,000 salary last season made him one of the league's blatant bargains. The 27-year-old has bloodthirsty cyborg Drew Rosenhaus as an agent, though, so in South Florida or elsewhere, he'll make what he's worth this year -- which, if you ask the Dolphins, is plenty.

You can use it horizontally as a bed wedge for sleeping to gently elevate your head for easier breathing. Or use it in the upright vertical position to provide comfort and support while sitting.

Just what I was looking for
By: Marty
This is a great product to elevate my dad just at the right angel. Before we got this wdge, it was always a challenge to have him sitting up just enough, but no so much that he could not sleep

By: Jack
Excellent product and service.
I like it very much.
By: none
It is very easy to use and mostly comfortable.
Useful item
By: swithrms
I like this very much and find it very comfortable.
Very Comfy. Helps my reflux!
By: Mikey
Very comfy. 12 inch height was good for me. Really helped my reflux while sleeping. I also love the contoured shape that prevents me from rolling off it at night. Egg crate top was a good idea. I disagree with review by "Tzaddi" that it is built for women or small children. I am 5'10" tall, weigh 240#, broad-shouldered and fit just right.
This is working out very well for my husband and my father as well
By: Louie
This is working very well for both family memebers
did not work for me
By: Tzaddi
Ordered for shoulder surgery, but it didn't arrive until several days it--no chance to "try it on." Caregiver unpacked the box, commented there was no plastic wrapping and asked whether I wanted to keep it or not, then set it on my bed for the day I'd be able to switch from sleeping upright in recliner to sleeping propped up in bed; that was two days ago. I was SO disappointed! Width is too narrow--obviously for someone much smaller than I am at 5'8". I am slender, but this pillow was not wide enough. Tried to return it and discovered that despite it arriving unwrapped in the box, I could not return it without plastic wrapping. (!)
It's just ok
By: Sue

Great deal!

Keeps you upright to read or watch TV and so soft with great support. Best product I've bought in a long time.
Thumbs Up!
By: Sue
Keeps mom upright as she reads in bed (and then falls asleep!)
A great help
By: Jack
My wife is disabled & needed something to allow her to watch tv & read while in bed. This pillow gives her just the right support & angle to do so.Good support
Not exactly what I expected, but it is comfortable
By: Karen
The photo of the wedge looked more contoured with higher sides, but the sides are only slightly raised which disappointed me because I like my arms to be raised even with the top of my body when laying flat on my back. The wedge is comfortable on my back however.
Mom loves it, it is just what she needed to sit up and watch TV. or to use to prop up her feet when they sweel or to elevate her head for more comfortable breathing at night.
By: deb
Bought for my Mother with COPD and CHF, so we got this to replace 3-4 pillows that ususlly flattened out quickly.
My 84 year old Dad loves this wedge!
By: RDL
I purchased this for my Fater who needs additional support when sleeping as well as when sitting while reading/watching TV. He prefers this wedge to traditional wedges because the curved surface is more comfortable for him because it conforms to his body shape better.
Wedge pillow
By: Noor
Good ~ needs to be longer.
Comfort Wedge
By: mm
I made the decision to buy this pillow after seeing the little video in the advertisement. That was what really sold me as it answered some of my questions about the pillow. My wife has bad hips and this pillow did perfect for helping her sleep. Can't be any more pleased. Showed up very quickly too and price was good. very happy!!!
So far, so good.

I've only had it for a short time, but it's as advertised.

Wedge Pillow.
By: JB
Had others and they where to hard.This one is softer but not wide enough.
By: Pam
Much better than sleeping on a dozen pillows. Wish it was a little wider. Excellent service. Delivered very quick.
Does the job
Bought the dual position comfort wedge for my mother-in-law. I tried it out and as others have noted, it is a bit narrow so one's arms have to be propped up with other pillows. Also bought another 7-inch wedge to put underneath it so it would be elevated sufficiently for her to sit up in bed without having to scoot all the way up to the headboard as seen in the picture. It's soft yet firm enough to support her back so that's great.
Dual Position Comfort Wedge
Since receiving this wedge my Mom has been sleeping and reclining much better! She loves it and it also helps to keep her from rolling during the night because of it's slight curve.
Very Satisfied
By: Brenda
I have a heital hernia and have been using this same type pillow for years. Was very excited to find a replacement for my 15 year old pillow. It works great for me.
Dual Position Comfort Wedge
By: Jeri
This product is slightly curved, less would be better for my back. I have a metal headboard and this wedge saves me from leaning back on metal when watcing television. It doesn't work for lying down and sleeping for me.
By: Nancyann
This was the perfect solution for my mini vacation. NNo breathing issues - it was comfortable - excellent choice.
Good and Not so Good
By: Lucy
I bought this for my husband who has COPD and has problems breathing if laying flat. The wedge worked great for sitting up and watching tv but not so good for sleeping. He likes to sleep on his side but with the curved design he wasn't able to do that. I would totally recommend this for those who sleep on their back.
Worked perfectly!
I had a septoplasty and needed to keep my head elevated. I'm not a back sleeper but the wedge enabled me to sleep comfortably and helped keep the swelling to a minimum.

Lewis Hamilton is moving to Mercedes, replacing seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher in a major shakeup that also saw Sergio Perez sign with McLaren.
Hamilton signs with Mercedes, Perez joins McLaren
Hamilton has been at McLaren throughout his F1 career but the British team had been unwilling to match a lucrative offer from Mercedes, where he will team with Nico Rosberg next season on a three-year contract.
The deal, which had been rumored for weeks, was confirmed by Mercedes on Friday shortly after McLaren announced its signing of Perez.
"It is now time for me to take on a fresh challenge and I am very excited to begin a new chapter," Hamilton said. "Mercedes-Benz has such an incredible heritage in motorsport, along with a passion for winning which I share.
"Together, we can grow and rise to this new challenge," the 27-year-old Hamilton added. "I believe that I can help steer the Silver Arrows to the top and achieve our joint ambitions of winning the world championships."
Hamilton won his only F1 title with McLaren in 2008, but the past two seasons have featured a mixture of brilliant driving, clashes with other drivers and controversial moments.
Hamilton recently angered team management by posting a photo of a telemetry sheet showing data from his and teammate Jenson Button's car on his Twitter page at the Belgian GP. Button publicly criticized Hamilton for the incident, increasing speculation that a change was imminent.
The 43-year-old Schumacher has struggled for consistency since coming out of retirement in 2010 to join Mercedes. Now in his third season back, the German has managed only one podium finish — third place — during that time. This season, he has retired from seven races.
"I have had three nice years with the team which, unfortunately, did not go as well as we all would have wanted on the sporting side," Schumacher said. "I wish Lewis well and for the team to achieve the success we worked so hard for in the build-up. I would like to thank the team for their trust and all the guys for their unconditional commitment."
Team chief Ross Brawn thanked Schumacher "for the important contribution he has made to the growth of our team over the past three seasons" and said he is excited about challenging for the title with Hamilton.
"The arrival of a driver of Lewis' caliber is a testament to the standing of Mercedes-Benz in Formula One and I am proud that Lewis shares our vision and ambition," Brawn said. "I believe that the combination of Lewis and Nico will be the most dynamic and exciting pairing on the grid next year, and I am looking forward to what we can achieve together."

Just more crap that will break and end up hindering a solider and not helping them. Why not work on a way to lighten his load and not increase it? By the time you put that on, strap a laptop to his chest and cameras on his helmet filled his backpack with extra batteries for the laptop, radio, GPS, cameras, ammo and skivies he will need a darn fork lift to carry his RUK. It is just stupid I think to come up with some of that crap. That is just me I look at this stuff form a practical stand point.
It is one more thing that I have to A. Take care of. B. pack around. C. keep track of. If you have ever been in the military you know that everything breaks at the most inopportune time. When you are out on an ambush in the middle of the night and you are naving by nothing but a PLGR that is when your battery is going to go dead and leave you high and dry. The night you are moving BSA's is the night your NVG's are going to go out on you leaving you blind driving until you can rip them from your face.
What happens to all that garbage on your outter legs when you have to smash 25 guys in the back of a m113 or BFV? What about when you have to go threw briers them things on the outside of your legs are going to catch and snag on everything.
It looks all cool on that guy because he just hopped out of his $50,000 SUV behind the office and went for a walk. He is not in combat getting his ass shot at and try shoot and scoot diving on to the ground to take cover. Jumping up out of cover to bolt 50 yards to the next cover. I see these lasting aprox 5 minutes max in the REAL WORLD. For hikers and civilians they may be a god send.
So I take it that you won't be getting me one for my birthday, Cpt?
Way to burst my bubble.
Aside from any practical use in combat - which is very unlikely for the reasons you stated and then some (I prefer stealth, mobility and speed), I think it could come in handy against a zombie horde.
Think of it, the solanum virus spreads like wildfire so a person would need a butt load of ammo. Lugging all the ammo around on the run will get tiring/cumbersome. Being able to carry an additional 200lbs of ammo on the run seems like a bonus.
Or you could get dozens of these units and outfit them to monkeys and make them lug your gear. Just a thought.

I am software cultivator with over ten years of professional experience, and a focus on sustainable software development. I specialize in germinating, growing and adapting systems and teams at a steady, dependable pace – reliably delivering value while avoiding burnout. I am also a craftsman who takes pride in my work and constantly strives to improve my skill.
I draw upon a wide range of experience when tackling problems. From realtime embedded signal processors in assembly language, to IP networking middleware in C++, to test automation systems in C# and TCL, to enterprise web apps in Ruby on Rails, to cloud-based developer tools, and dozens more along the way – I bring a broad perspective to the projects I work on.
I'm particularly good with Ruby and Rails. I've been developing with Ruby for nearly ten years (yes, it really has been around that long!), and with Rails for three. I've also been working with distributed systems in one form or another for most of my career.
I have led and participated in geographically distributed teams since 2007, and I know what it takes to make a dispersed agile team succeed. If you are thinking of tapping into the rich talent pool available to a distributed organization, I can help.
I live and work at home with my beautiful and growing family in South-Central PA. I'm a strong believer in building up the local community. I organize the York Coworking group and am an active member in the Baltimore and Central PA Ruby/Rails community.

There's a meme, originating from certain corners of the Functional side of programming, that "patterns are a language smell". The implication being that "good" languages either already encode the patterns as language features, or they provide the tools to extend the language such that modeling the pattern explicitly isn't needed.
This misses the point on rather a lot of levels.
First, it usually originates from the widespread identification of "patterns" as a discipline with a single patterns catalog, the "Gang of Four" book. The argument goes like this: "You don't need the Visitor pattern in a language where you can apply an arbitrary lambda over any collection".
Personally, I think this misses some important subtleties of the Visitor pattern, but I'll let that slide for now. The larger point is that many of the patterns in the GoF are intentionally foundational, and some of them do in fact reflect weaknesses in certain formalist OO languages like C++ and Java. This is the seed of truth to the whole argument.
Unfortunately, it's a case of throwing the baby, the bathtub, and in fact the entire west wing of the house with the bathwater. I have an entire shelf devoted to patterns literature. (This would be a great point to insert a photo, but my books are currently in transit to Tennessee.) Very few of those patterns are foundational or even widely applicable.
Instead, each pattern reflects deep experience with a particular type of problem. Some of them are about financial systems. Some are about signal processing. Some are about games. Some are about enterprise systems.
Patterns are experience reports. They are institutional memory that transcends organizational boundaries. But more than that, patterns reflect how a particular team, or series of teams, managed to come to grips with a particular type of problem.
When I transitioned from writing software for air traffic control systems to writing enterprise software, I came with a set of implicit presuppositions. Assumptions such as: an object can only be constructed in a valid state. Invalid data must be rejected at construction time.
This turns out to work well for systems that consume only feeds from other automated systems. But less well for systems that interact directly with humans. If I had read Ward Cunningham's CHECKS pattern for interacting with humans, I would have been much better prepared for the new world I was entering. I would have more quickly comprehended the need for ideas like Exceptional Value, a value that is clearly unacceptable but which is still kept around so that it can be presented back to the user for correction.
Much of my research time lately has been devoted to the study of how programmers and teams of programmers erect shared constructions of reality in order to come to grips with a problem. Patterns are a way of capturing these reality constructions for posterity.
In the end it doesn't even matter that much if you actually create classes in your code named after patterns, or whether you use equivalent language features, or none of the above. A pattern language is a set of complementary thought-forms that helped some people get their minds around a problem. Ultimately they aren't about the code you write; they are about how you see the problem in your mind's eye, and the vocabulary you use to talk to your team about it.
Of course, since patterns guide how you conceptualize a problem space, this means they also have a lot of power to lead you down a bad path. You have to remember that in the end, you need to construct a consensus reality that makes sense for your project. The realities of those who have gone before should be instructive, not prescriptive.
Patterns aren't tools for programming computers; they are tools for programming people. As such, to say that "patterns are a language smell" makes very little sense. Patterns are a tool for augmenting language: our language, the language we use to talk to each other about a problem and its solutions; the language we use to daydream new machines in our minds before committing them to code. Patterns aren't a language smell; rather, patterns are by definition, [optional] language features.
The first half of my conference-going year is starting to firm up, so I thought I'd briefly post about where you can find me this year, if you feel so inclined. So far it's a light year for travel, but I'll probably be adding a few more dates as the year advances.
I feel like this speaks for itself:
If you want to join me here, check out the site. They are also seeking sponsors, in case you represent a company that is looking to invest in the community.
Apparently 2015 has a beach theme. I'm excited about this conference, because after years of passing through Heathrow on the way to somewhere else, I'm finally attending a conference in England itself!
Here's the website. This conference is seeking sponsors as well!
I'm not actively submitting talks this year. But if you want me to come speak at your conference, or for that matter if you just want me to come and wear silly hats and spend a day pair-programming with attendees, get in touch. Bonus points if your conference has a dance floor.
I was very pleased to see that both of the above-referenced conferences had prominent codes of conduct posted on their websites. This is something that I am now looking for when considering whether to attend a conference (whether I am speaking or not).
As far as why, I think John Scalzi sums it up best:
Because I want my friends and fans to be able to come to a convention and feel assured that the convention is making the effort to be a safe place for them. I want my friends and fans to know that if someone creeps on them, there's a process to deal with it, quickly and fairly. And I want my friends and fans to know that I don't support conventions that won't go out of their way to do both of these things.
As far as details go: basically, Scalzi's policy is my policy too. If you have any questions, check out his original post and the followup FAQ.
(And a big thank-you to John for, once again, saying sensible things so that I can be lazy and point people to them.)
True story: I once worked on a project where I was told from the outset that "we probably will not use your code".
This was back when I worked at a big defense contractor. There were negotiations under way for an expanded contract that would obviate the work I was doing, if it were signed. But someone still had to do the work, to meet current contractual obligations and in case the negotiations fell through.
Back then I estimated that about 50% of the work I did was eventually shelved and never used. Contracts changed, or a feature went over-budget and was cut, or a management shuffle resulted in new priorities. I began to think about projects as being similar to teeth: ignore them long enough and they'll go away. This environment lead to an interesting productivity optimization: I realized I could ignore projects for weeks on end, and focus on my self-teaching instead. Eventually half the projects would go away, and the rest I could cram out with a few over-nighters.
Later I worked for a startup, which failed. We managed to open-source a little of our work. As far as I know, most of it is still collecting dust in some VC's cabinet of intellectual property, never to be seen again.
Over the years a lot of SAAS software I've used and enjoyed has gone away. Anyone remember Posterous? Or Drop.io? I invested time and content into them, then one day they posted about their incredible journey and then vanished into Facegooger. Along with their code.
Recently a service that I absolutely love went into maintenance mode and stopped accepting new sign-ups. They haven't given me an end-of-service date, but it seems like the writing is on the wall. I've asked, and no: the code will not be open-sourced.
Every time I read articles about how to be a successful startup entrepreneur, I hear the same thing over and over again: fail, fail, fail. Don't fear failure. Embrace it. Do it over and over again and learn from your mistakes.
It's good advice, I'm sure. It's important not to be immobilized by the fear of failure.
(Though failure isn't always that informative. You can learn a thousand different ways to fail and never learn a single way to succeed.)
Moreover, failure has collateral. Are we OK with the idea that the only long-term benefit of these years of failure is some life experience for the founders? Code isn't the only thing that gets cast aside in failure. Often, there are employees as well. Who may be left with little more than useless fractional stock options and a lingering sense of burnout.
This is especially vexing given that a) many employers give a great deal of weight to seeing recent code that that a prospective hire has written; and b) the work pace for early startup employees often gives them no extra time to contribute to non-proprietary code.
Life is short. We have a limited amount of time to benefit the world. Is it acceptable, the idea that benefit will only come from the "hits"?
I don't think I want to write off [any more] years of my professional life to nothing more than "well, that was a learning experience". I hope I can find ways to make even my failures be useful to more than just myself.
This could mean a lot of things. One concrete take-away that I've just started pondering is this: I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the idea of working on speculative projects which are legally constrained in such a way that the code will be archived alongside the Ark of the Covenant if the project doesn't pan out for whatever reason.
Which makes me curious: is anyone out there actually making provisions for open-sourcing their code in case the company or project fails? Is this even a thing?
What do you think? Does it matter that we make our failures "count" for more than just personal enrichment? Are you taking any steps to ensure they do? I'm curious if anyone else is thinking about this.
Ruby's blocks are easily the biggest hurdle most newbies to the language have to overcome. Even for people with years of experience in other languages, the the concept of blocks is often an elusive one at first.
In my opinion, some of the difficulty in grokking blocks can be chalked up to how they are usually explained. In this article, which started out as a post on Parley, I want to explain how I think of blocks: as just a pragmatic shortcut for a pattern you've probably already used in other languages.
Ruby, like many languages, lets us create a little anonymous hunk of executable code that can be passed around. There are various ways to do this; for the purpose of this post, let's pretend there's only one:
code = proc do |name| puts "hello, #{name}" end code.call("Avdi") # >> hello, Avdi
proc is handy, because it is often useful to pass behavior instead of data into methods.
For instance (to use a familiar example), when opening a file, we might pass a proc of code to be executed while the file is open. Then the file will be automatically closed when the proc is finished.
code = proc do # ... end open("myfile", "w", :while_open_do => code)
The behavior that we pass, in the form of procs, into these methods is almost always one-off code. We don't really have any reason to assign it to a local variable. So more often, we wind up passing it like this:
open("myfile", "w", :while_open_do => proc do # ... end)
If you're more familiar with JavaScript, compare this common JS idiom, where an anonymous function is passed as an argument to a method (thanks to commenter Prasanna):
$( "#target" ).click(function() { alert( "Handler for .click() called." ); });
The more we use methods like this that take behavior arguments as well as data arguments, we realize something: 90% of the time, the method only takes a single behavior argument. There's something about small methods with single responsibilities that causes them to only have one piece of behavior that needs to be specified from outside.
So we start using a convention: when a method needs to be parameterized with some behavior, we always use the last as the one that takes the "block of code", or "block" for short.
def open(filename, mode, block) # ... end open("myfile", "w", proc do # ... end)
This makes our code a lot more concise for this very common case. However, as we keep doing this, we still have some objections:
proc keyword everywhere. It starts to feel a little like noise.
proc, and there's always that closing parenthesis after the
In fact, that closing parenthesis is a particularly strong irritant in a language that normally doesn't require us to use parentheses at all.
What if we modified the language a bit to give us some extra support for the "one argument is a block of code" convention? We could just use a special symbol to indicate which one. And then the language could let us start the block of code right after the argument list, so we don't have to worry about that closing parenthesis. And since we're making this part of the language syntax, let's get rid of the requirement for the
proc keyword in this special case.
def open(filename, mode, &block) # ... end open "myfile", "w" do # ... end
Heck, while we're at it, let's make a way to invoke the block of code even if it hasn't been explicitly specified as a parameter. We'll use
yield to mean "yield control to the block of code that we assume has been passed".
def open(filename, mode) # ... yield # ... end
And now we have Ruby blocks. The important thing to remember is that fundamentally, they are just syntactical sugar for a very common idiom: a method, one of whose parameters is a block of code used to pass in behavior.
(If you're an experienced Ruby programmer, you probably know that blocks have some other semantic peculiarities having to do with control flow. I don't believe this alters the core premise, however, that blocks are essentially a shortcut.)
One last word: this is totally a plug, but if you dug this article, you might like RubyTapas, where you can level up your Ruby knowledge in two coffee-break-sized nibbles per week.
Rails has this thing called the "flash". It's like a special subset of the session hash. It's a key/value store with an enforced short lifespan. Stuff you put in the hash lasts for exactly one render or redirect, and then goes away. It's handy for stuff like notifications. You can set it in the controller:
# ... flash[:notice] = "Your order has been submitted." # ...
…and then you can reference it in a view:

<%= flash[:notice] %>

You can then be confident that after the view is shown, the message will go away and not be seen again.
Recently on the Ruby Rogues we talked to Michel Martens about keeping libraries small and simple. It was a good show and he had a lot of good things to say. You should give it a listen.
One of the assertions he made on the show is that the Rails flash is an example of pointless bloat. It adds hundreds of lines of code, but you can accomplish the exact same thing with just some basic Ruby knowledge.
That is, in the controller, you could just use the regular session store:
# ... session[:notice] = "Your order has been submitted." # ...
And then in the view, you could use
Hash#delete() (or the equivalent on whatever Hash-like object Rails uses for the session) to render and delete the entry all at once.

<%= session.delete(:notice) %>

It's as simple as that to render the flash feature completely superfluous.
…or is it?
Imagine we move the rendering code above into a view partial named `notice`. And then we use it in a view to render notices both at the top and the bottom of the page.
<%= render "notice" %>  <%= render "notice" %>
There's now a bug here. And we might not even notice it for a while. But sooner or later someone is going to realize that notices are only displaying at the top of the page, and not the bottom.
Bugs like these can be tricky to diagnose, if we don't have recent familiarity with the code. That's because we tend to think of views as being referentially transparent, like a function: you pass data in, and you get HTML out. The same HTML for the same data. We don't expect a view to modify the data going in.
This isn't the only potential gotcha, either. Rails carefully manages the lifetime of flash messages, expiring them whether they are used or not. But this flash-free technique means that so long as the view that uses it isn't rendered (for whatever reason), the notice may linger on. Until finally it is rendered, in a context where it no longer applies.
I can definitely think of scenarios in which this sequence of events might occur.
So using this approach, we can easily end up with a site which sometimes fails to render notices, and sometimes renders notices belatedly. This sort of thing tends to be perceived as "flaky" and low-quality by users.
Don't get me wrong: I love small, sharp tools. I almost always choose Sinatra over Rails for my own projects.
But this is something that has happened to me over and over again in my programming career: I'll look at a "fat" tool, and think "this is stupid. It's obvious we don't need all that code. I can just use the language better and avoid all that waste."
So I'll plow ahead, and then run into an edge case that I hadn't thought of. And then another, and then another. And before I know it, I've recreated the original "fat" code, only badly.
The point here isn't that Michel is wrong. If we are careful, we can get along just fine without the flash. And for many applications, we may never need it.
But Rails isn't wrong either. The flash has a non-triviai implementation because it handles some non-obvious cases in a way that ensures the programmer never has to worry about them.
More often than not, code exists for a reason. This is especially true of code in libraries and frameworks that receive a lot of code review and discussion, as is the case for Rails. We can choose to make use of that code, or we can choose to go with smaller, sharper tools. But whichever way we go, it usually pays to take a little time and understand why the "fat" code exists.
One of my favorite Frog and Toad stories goes like this:
One day, Frog and Toad make cookies together. Later, as they are scarfing down cookie after delicious cookie, Frog suggests that if they don't stop eating cookies, they will get sick. Toad agrees.
So they put the cookies in a box. But then Toad points out the obvious: they could easily open the box and eat the cookies. Frog responds by tying a string around the box. But then Toad objects that they could still cut the string and open the box. So Frog proceeds to fetch a step ladder and put the box on a high shelf. Toad counters that they might take the cookies back down, cut the string, open the box, and eat the cookies.
They realize they are at an impasse. All of the safeguards against eating more cookies are easily bypassed. Frog announces that what they really need is willpower. After explaining what willpower is to Toad, he takes the box down, cuts the string, opens it up, and offers all of the cookies to some nearby birds, who are happy to gobble them down.
Toad laments that now they have no cookies at all. Frog concedes this point, but points out that they now have lots and lots of willpower. Toad replies that Frog is welcome to keep all the willpower, and goes home to bake a cake.
There's a recurring discussion I see in software that reminds me of this story. In a nutshell, it goes like this: "X is causing us lots of problems. Maybe if we use a system that prevents us from doing X, we'll stop having these problems."
This argument shows up in a lot of forms. The Java language was sold to the programming establishment partly on these grounds: "programmers keep writing terrible code in C++. If we switch to a language that strictly limits what they can do, they'll stop writing such terrible code."
I've heard it used to justify a switch to a functional programming language: "we know that mutable state is the root of many evils. If we prevent mutable state from existing, we won't have those problems."
Lately I've been messing around in Go, and it contains more than a hint of this kind of thinking: "Programmers are bad at handling failure modes. Maybe if we force them to surround every function call with its own if/then/else, they'll do a better job of thinking about failure."
It's not strictly an organizational phenomenon. People use this strategy at a personal level all the time. "As soon as I get a new bike, then I'll get into shape."
And it often works, too. A shiny new tool and a clean break from the old ways can be a great motivation to get out of a rut.
At least, it often works for a while. For the first couple of months, that new bike gets lots of exercise. But then the weather gets cold, and some spokes get bent, and they can never seem to remember to take the bike to the shop. And the weeks pass, and then months.
Not coincidentally, when we're in this honeymoon period we want to talk all about it. The person with the new bike constantly posts their latest stats to Facebook. The team with a new programming language blogs all about how it has revolutionized their work. Our industry is full of experience reports from three or six months in.
But then the Facebook posts and blog posts start to peter out. For some, this means a new, better normal has settled in. But in other cases, it can mean that things aren't going so well anymore.
Most recently I've started to see "microservices" treated as if they are one of these "liberating constraints". By splitting our apps into dozens of tiny programs, we'll finally enforce modularity. We'll stop building big balls of mud.
Of course, those services still depend on each other. We've just given them (hopefully) well-defined interfaces. And we've pushed their interconnections and dependencies out from a realm where our tools could visualize them as tangled webs, into a realm where our tools can give us no insight whatsoever. We've moved our diagnostics from tests into distributed log files. And we've almost certainly introduced new implied temporal dependencies that didn't exist before.
There are definitely teams that are succeeding with microservices. There are also teams who are succeeding with monoliths. Facebook is still one single giant codebase. Every tiny tweak increments the entire app.
Martin Fowler has been observing and documenting the rise of microservices. When we last had him on Ruby Rogues I took the opportunity to ask him about what he had seen so far. He had this to say:
I'm still a little bit unsure about the whole microservices thing… exactly when you should do it is an interesting question, because there are a lot of benefits from having separate services. You can independently deploy the services. You can independently scale the services. You get an enforced modularity which most programming languages' environments just don't give you. You can really solidly say what your interfaces are. And you can make damn sure that you're never passing mutable data across module boundaries, things like that.
But on the other hand, as soon as you move to a distributed design, distribution is a huge complexity booster. And in order to get distribution to perform effectively, you're probably going to have to go to an asynchronous call mechanism. And asynchrony is a huge complexity booster. And so, you take on quite a price. And the tradeoff between those two things is really quite significant.
And this also plays into the sacrificial architecture idea, because your first, your early attempt, you probably don't want to go down the microservices route because you don't really know what your module structure's going to look like. You're still trying to figure out what on earth's the system you're trying to build from a user experience and from a functional sense. So, you want to be able to rapidly change things within the structure. And only when things begin to solidify is it a good idea to peel out things into separate services.
But this area is still very new. We're still really getting only the first indications of what is a good and bad practice. So, the best I can do is listen to the people and try to pick up what I can and distill as much signal as I can from all the stuff I'm hearing.
I don't think microservice architecture is a bad idea. I've started using it a little bit myself, writing a separate service to do some periodic processing instead of adding to an existing application. There was something freeing about not worrying about how to control duplication between the two programs. On the other hand, it took roughly 30 seconds of development before I'd introduced a bug by writing a regular expression slightly differently in one program than it was written in the other.
This article is really just about motivations: why we choose new tools, or new architectures. We know that certain bad habits lead to unmaintainable codebases. And yet we keep falling into those habits. And it's very seductive to think that when we switch over to that new framework or that new language, we'll kick all those bad old habits at once and ring in a new era of clean coding.
I think it's important to reflect on why we are really considering a change to our development stack. Is there a chance we're just looking for a box and a piece of string and a high shelf to keep us from eating those tasty, tasty cookies?
Perhaps what we really need is some willpower.
First of all I want to say I have amazing customers. Like, seriously fantastic customers who go above and beyond to show their appreciation of what I do for a living. I've had people cancel their subscriptions because they needed to focus their finances elsewhere, notice that they still had access to some episodes in iTunes, and email me to let me know that there might be a bug and offering to pay for any extra videos they got to watch as a result of the error. My customers are the best.
So fortunately, I don't have to resolve many customer complaints. Still, every couple of months I get a notification that someone has disputed a charge. Sometimes it's an honest mistake; they didn't realize what the charge was for. In those cases we sort things out and everything's fine.
But every now and then, someone apparently decides that the best way to cancel their subscription is to dispute a charge, rather than getting in touch with me.
When such a dispute comes through Stripe, it's not a big deal. They have a perfectly rational dispute resolution process. I try to contact the customer, provide my evidence to Stripe, and wait for a conclusion. Usually the bank decides in the customer's favor, because that's how banks are biased. Which is not unreasonable. That's just part of life for an online seller of products.
With PayPal, it's a whole different story.
Here's what I get from PayPal when there's a dispute:
When I log in to "resolve" the dispute, here are the options I'm presented with:
None of these options make any sense in this context.
The last time I got one of these notifications I decided to reply directly to it:
You can probably guess what happened next: I got an auto-response informing me that the email address they mailed me from is not monitored.
PayPal goes out of their way to be unreachable and to make their "dispute resolution" process opaque and unusable. Their approach toward sellers boils down to the business version of "when did you stop beating your wife?"
And it's not just disputes. I could provide dozens of other examples of why PayPal makes up 90% of my payment processing headaches.
This is why, despite presently processing thousands of dollars a month through PayPal, I plan on eventually phasing out PayPal completely from my product and subscription sales. They are simply not worth the hassle.
It took a tweet from Noel Rappin to remind me, but it seems that today marks two years since the first episode of RubyTapas went live. I started RubyTapas with a simple concept: that Ruby developers might enjoy frequent, short, focused videos on intermediate to advanced Ruby and OO concepts. One new idea, distilled into short enough period to watch during a coffee break.
The other, riskier part of the formula was that developers might value this service enough to pay me $9/month for it in and thus make such a time-intensive product sustainable. Two years and 240 episodes(!) later, it seems they did. At over 2,000 paying subscribers, RubyTapas has been my full-time job for over a year.
So: happy birthday RubyTapas, and thanks to everyone who makes it possible! In honor of the occasion, here's one of my favorite episodes (#190), now free to watch. It's about an advanced feature of Ruby's String#gsub method, and as you'll see I had some fun making this one.
Also, if you're not already a subscriber, today you can sign up and
get the first two months for the price of one. EDIT: Sorry, this deal is now over!
Yesterday I had a tiny epiphany about when Emacs calc-mode can be really useful. Here's a tiny screencast about it.

Women and HIV...control methods do not protect against HIV. Women who use intravenous drugs should not share equipment. Women should discuss vaginal problems with their health care provider, especially yeast infections that don't go away or vaginal ulcers (sores). These could be signs of HIV infection. Women planning pregnancy should seek care prior to becoming pregnant to ensure good health and assess their HIV status.

Weather Alert
Wind Advisory issued March 31 at 2:00AM PDT expiring March 31 at 11:00PM PDT in effect for: Kern, Tulare
LOS ANGELES - A Boston man has won an online competition to become the first male model in "The Price Is Right" history.
The long-running CBS game show said Friday that viewers had chosen Rob Wilson from among a trio of finalists who also included Clint Brink and Nick Denbeigh.
Wilson begins his weeklong stint alongside the ladies on Oct. 15.
The contest was announced in August. Hundreds of he-man hopefuls showed up at the open call in Los Angeles, where they had a chance to strut their stuff for the show's producers and the female models the show is well known for.
The show has been on the air since September 1972.

Is the potted tree dead?
ritzbitz78May 29, 2014
My husband bought a nectarine tree for 7 dollars at the grocery store. It had no leaves on it. He bought it around the beginning of May. It still has no leaves on it. And it is still in the pot (not transplanted yet). Is the tree dead? How can we tell if it is worth keeping?
