Adding an extra layer of abstraction to have somewhat nicer looking source code doesn't seem worth it though.

An extra 30 bytes for a useful feature isn't much of a big deal if you ask me. Especially if it saves me adding a bunch of code to do the same thing.

So all but one have to share a glass? Seems unpractical.

Awesome, hopefully other big sites will follow suit. I wonder if the hype around Firesheep was part of the motivation to make this change.

Nice effort but scrolling with Ctrl+E doesn't work and diw puts me into insert mode and then deletes the entire line. I gave up after about 15 seconds.

I wouldn't worry about it, it's just how Ruby and most other languages handle floats. Do a search on Google for "ruby float precision".

I realize that but at least my neighbors won't be able to hijack my session from home. Logging in over a public network always seems risky.

Why don't Facebook and other major sites check the user agent and IP address of client as well, instead of just relying on a cookie? That would solve this problem in 99% of the cases, right?

There's more: 1,000,000,000: Errr, a few franchises? 1,000,000,000,000: You could probably buy all of McDonalds stock for that kind of money. Oh and apparently you can buy a Sundae for as little as $.999999999999999949.

Because rewriting it in a different language automatically makes it better software..? I don't think the language really matters.

It may be frustrating to lose a cool project/client like this but in the end it was just a job and they got paid to do it. Not a big deal IMO.

I've doing pretty much the same thing with http://wappalyzer.com the last couple of years. It's a Firefox add-on that analyzes source code and headers to find out what software is being used on sites. The add-on is mildly popular and I'm

I think that means there are no hops to be made. Draw your own conclusion.

Reddit has a pretty decent API, you can add ".json" or ".xml" to pretty much every URL (e.g. http://www.reddit.com/.xml ).

This alone is reason enough for me not to use it. I'd much rather have a pre-paid system to replace cash (< $500.-). For larger purchases I'd still use my card.

That's why you don't run pre-alpha code on a production server. The advantage of publishing code this early is that people like the author can point out flaws and help secure the software.
