There is no such method in ruby, but you can easily define it like: def my_strip(string, chars) chars = Regexp.escape(chars) string.gsub(/\A[#{chars}]+|[#{chars}]+\z/, "") end

Vue does this in a way that just makes sense.

Ideally, you should be able to write pure css in style tags in components, just like you can other frameworks(React or vue)

being able to compose multiple components' functionality via decoration (not creating new "combo" components or something) is more elegant, and something I wish React had.

I want my Page Translator extension to be made irrelevant by Firefox having built-in language translation, like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. It is a critical feature used by millions of people daily. It bridged a feature gap. Mozilla killing this add-on without replacing it hurts users.

I would love for Mozilla to make this extension irrelevant by providing the functionality natively. Language translation is a standard and yet highly differentiating feature in Chrome and Edge.

Unlike existing bookstores, the Publisher receives full aggregated information about the instructor who assigned the publication, the students who purchased a copy, what students liked the about the book, which parts they spent the most time on, and which points the author made they found confusing (all of course as allowed by university policies and governing law). This information may be useful to sales reps in apportioning credit, to your marketing department to tune advertising, and to editors and authors to improve subsequent editions and to choose new titles.

Sales reps greatly increase their income by selling the same book through Perusall.

Perusall automatically suggests grades for these annotations to the instructor, detects when students do not engage portions of the material, and gives students well-timed nudges that get them back on track -- all without extra effort on the part of the instructor.

Persuall generates more revenue and less cost for publishers without increasing the price to students (and without charging instructors).

no cost to the students to use Perusall with a textbook, beyond the cost of the book itself.

you can still upload your own documents and assign readings both from the book and from your own documents

We also believed in market-based pay and would tell employees that it was smart to interview with competitors when they had the chance, in order to get a good sense of the market rate for their talent. Many HR people dislike it when employees talk to recruiters, but I always told employees to take the call, ask how much, and send me the number—it’s valuable information.
