Boost on OS X using the brew boost keg

I was installing boost today using the *brew keg*, which shows it's for the latest version, 1.55.0, but I kept running into errors.
  1. --HEAD
  2. --with-mpi
In the case of #1, it kept puking every time it tried to grab boost from svn. In the case of #2, no matter what I did, including this option kept giving a warning about Python support soon to be deprecated. And yes, I tried the 
--without-python`
option. It just wasn't happening. I don't know if it's a problem with the keg, or a problem with this particular build of Boost. Finally, I was successfully able to get things to build using: 
brew install boost --c++11 --with-icu --without-python --without-single

Passing Functions and Lambdas into Functions with Ruby

Ruby's New Style of Lambda Functions f = ->( m ) { p m } f.call( 1 ) #=> 1 Which of course means the same thing as: f = lambda { |n| p n } f.call(1) #=> 1 Ruby Proc Objects p = Proc.new { |n| p n + 2 } p.call(2) #=> 4 Using a Function as a Closure in Ruby def domo( k ) ->(m) { p m + k } end z = domo( 5 ) z.call( 5 ) #=> 10 Function :domo takes a single parameter. Within :domo , we create a lambda that takes a single parameter, and adds that parameter to the value :domo takes in as its parameter. Then, we assign z to be the result of the lambda in :domo with its 'k' parameter loaded with 5. When z is called, we pass (another) 5 to it. This parameter loads the lambdas n parameter. The lambda executes, essentially adding n (5) + k (5) and yielding the result of 10. The thing about closures such as this is, we can load the initial value of the lambda to be whatever we want it to be when assigning the function :domo '...

Fun with Meteor, React, and React-Bootstrap

React-Bootstrap is pretty cool. I decided to play with it a bit.  Here are the basics. In an already set up Meteor project (set up for React), it is added thus: npm install --save react-bootstrap Once this is done, you also need to add a bootstrap library. It could either be the twitter bootstrap meteor package, or you can link to it. For the purpose of my demo, I just grabbed a couple links from the React-Bootstrap site that they had handy for pulling in from a CMS: index.html <head> <!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS --> <link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/latest/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> </link> <!-- Optional theme --> <link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/latest/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> </link> </head> Now, let's make a layout, and then create a component tha...

Dead Simple React.js with Meteor

I spent a little time exploring the patterns involved in using React.js with Meteor. It's incredibly easy, it turns out. I'll show some examples here. The setup: meteor add kadira:flow-router npm install react react-dom react-mounter npm install react-addons-pure-render-mixin meteor add react-meteor-data Then of course remove all blaze related meteor packages. Ok, Some basic component patterns: Let's create one that accepts a single argument: Hello.jsx import React from 'react'; export const Hello = ({name}) => ( <div>Hello, {name}</div> ); That's all there is to it. Now, let's see a pattern for a component that takes two arguments. We can see that to add further arguments, we can just tack them on after the first two: TwoArgs.jsx import React from 'react'; export const TwoArgs = ({one, two}) => ( <div> <h2>TwoArgs!</h2> <h3>One is: {one}</h3> <h3>Two is: {two}...
